Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

MODERATORS
Yeah, METR is an industry group funded by Google, Microsoft, Anthropic etc. I happened to summarize their work just yesterday actually: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/21358850 but one thing I think it's important to point out is that there is no second study, not yet. The blog, and the open source dataset, are all we have, because the researchers decided to adjust their method. So the intimation arstechnica gives that they completed a second study is false.
And the selection effects they are talking about are pro-ai software developers being unwilling or unable to complete complex tasks without their precious ai anymore, whereas a year ago they were more willing to do both ways in order to prove how powerful ai is. In my opinion, as I stated, this reflects poorly on their levels of self confidence from using ai, more than saying anything about a speed boost/decline.
