"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
Weirdo likes to imagine that they have a relationship with the person who originally posted the screenshot with the messages. They're asking the real person to engage in their fantasy by breaking up with another (probably) real person because weirdo's chatbot of them said they would.
F/O in this case is fictional other, a play on S/O for significant other. Yumeship is a dumb word for jerking/schlicking fantasy stuff.
Addendum: "yume" is Japanese for "dream". They dream of being in a (relation)ship with the other person.
We used to call that "self-ship", I'm pretty sure ("I ship myself with xyz") but maybe the difference is that this is not about a character but a real person? Which would make it real person shipping which I think most people agree is a dubious pastime. Did I just argue myself into saying having a crush is problematic? I need sleep.
It stops being a crush when you actually tell the crush to break up with someone because it ruins the fantasy you've created with them para-socially.
Shipping goes far further than having a crush, it's acting out the fantasy of being in a relationship with them. Or a fictionalized version of them usually. That's fine if the character is already fictional, but really creepy and invasive in regards to a real person.
Ooooh I completely didn't get that chatbot part. Makes more sense now, thanks!
Yeeesh
