Anti-genAI art platform Cara has been scraped a second time and the AI bros are taking sheer perverse joy in the distress it's causing the artists who contribute to the platform

"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
Just to weigh in here- as an autistic person myself one of the things I love about computers is how predictable and repeatable they are. Yes, I know that bit flipping and memory errors exist, but compared to human brains computers are consistent and beautiful. I largely try to model my own mind on how computers work.
I find AI to be absolutely disgusting for how it violates this. All of the other issues are important but solvable (the economic and social impact, the environmental impact, copyright issues, safety guardrails, etc). Like, I dont expect any of then to be fully solved but I could imagine a world where they are mostly solved. They are technical and legal challenges. Renewable energy infrastructure, universal basic income, reverting copyright law to pre-Disney levels, and a bit of responsible stewardship could do wonders (though I dont expect any of that to actually happen). The core concept of making computers less certain is not solvable, but a fundamental aspect of the design that I find abhorrent.
Finally someone who says it
I never got the point of asking an unreliable non deterministic model to write code for you when programming languages are literally right there, they almost always do exactly what you write
And there's plenty of deterministic ways to do code assistance too
Oh my god, this. I thought I was the only one.
The despair I feel when I hear imprecise, natural-language English described as the only viable future of my profession, precisely because it is going to allow people who are not analytically minded to become professional programmers, is difficult to properly describe.
