"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.

Me, be it Youtube, movies or music, I only consume pre-AI content. That way I'm sure it's man-made.
At my age, I tend to be a bit stuck in the past anyway. So it's not like I'm missing out on new stuff that interests me, because new stuff rarely interests me.
You can't be sure. There's plenty of deep fake stuff out there of people that died before AI was even around. Alan Watts, for instance.
If you're on YouTube, probably a good idea to learn to recognize slop, or at least avoid likely slop even if you can't determine if it is slop definitively.
Oh I know slop when I see it. I just don't want to play guess-the-content.
The stuff I watch or listen to is either very well known, or it's so obscure that nobody is going to make deep fake of it.
Just a reminder that there do exist anti-AI extensions on Firefox, as well as anti-AI blocklists for uBlock and other ads and trackers blockers.
Haha, you're over 30 too, huh? I know that feeling
