"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.

No one wants them there, and yet gleefully they rip open barriers and insert themselves anyway. These are the thoughts of a rapist.

This is too abstract a concept for someone like this

Uhh, I dunno man. These guys are assholes, but equating art theft to rape is a brain damage take.

It isn't, but not knowing how metaphors work might be.

Then these artists reward them with giant melodrama filled rants about how awful and violated they feel. It's like a free dopamine hit.

These are the words of a rapist. Straightforwardly.

What's so great about discovery? It's a violent, penetrative act that scars what it explores. What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world.

That's Jurassic Park my man - if you think Michael Chrichton has brain damage then you need to get your thumb out of your mouth you literal child. Calling support of AI 'rapist' speak is 100% accurate.
