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.

I have NEVER heard Zitron claim AI or LLM is just a gimmick.
Sounds like you don't understand his actual claim, which is all about circular financing and problems with data centers that basically only have 2 customers. And finally that those 2 customers will (probably) never be able to return a profit on the investments, as it requires exponential (doubling to be exact) growth for years in demand for AI services.
I get the sarcasm, but I think it's a bit strange to make that claim.
This however is spot on.
Unrelated: Saw your username, briefly thought you were the Benny Lava guy!
No my real name is Ken Lee, I'm the guy this woman made a song about.
