"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.

Then I think you've misunderstood my reasoning, or why I've repeatedly asked the same question. I'm sorry if I phrased it poorly or wasn't clearer.

"The point is that calling it an "anti-AI movement", is like saying there's an anti shit eating movement."

This is what I have been arguing against. If you are saying that being against AI is so universal and obvious as to be compared to being against eating shit, then I need a justification for that comparison. Without the reasoning behind the claim, it cannot be accepted.

It seems to me there are only 3 justifications for this claim.

  1. Being against AI is so universal and self-evident it cannot be considered a movement.

  2. A movement requires a structured hierarchy and stated goals, which the proposed "Anti-AI Movement," does not have.

  3. Being anti-AI doesn't mean a universal hatred of AI. It is a spectrum between universal admonishment and regulation.

If the point you're trying to make is the first, it's specifically why I have been repeatedly asking you to defend the claim, and it's why I reject the framing.

If the point you're trying to make is the second, then I already conceded it, and you're arguing linguistic semantics.

If it is the third point, then you're claiming that to be "Pro-AI" means to be a universal advocate for AI in all things and all ways, which again I disagree with, even if there are indeed some people who feel that way.

It's very possible you and I are in agreement on the principles, but simply splitting hairs on terms and titles. Which is what I've been trying to discover by asking where you stand on those 2 specific fields.
