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.

The factoids might be wrong but the conclusion isn't. Most edgelords age out it
I honestly haven't seen evidence of that, most of them certainly learn that the behaviour is looked down upon and may feel guilt over it, that isn't the same thing as growing out of it. There's a very large number of people whose morality is oriented around whether or not they're caught, not honest, vulnerable interrogation of themselves and committing to change.
You're talking to at least two former edgelords and the one typing now did a complete 180 at 18.
I was a weird kid in the 90s in a predominantly white/Catholic town where bigotry was the norm. I wasn't into the god stuff which made me an outcast in my community and home life wasn't very welcoming, either. I had unfiltered internet access and found a community who accepted me. And having no one to tell my otherwise, I thought their behavior was fine.
Ironically, that same lack of parental oversight saved my life because I decided to go to art school.
First time meeting a black person. Wow, they're just like me. First time hanging out with gay people. Wow, they're not trying to fuck me? Freshman year, I learned that everything I knew was wrong. And now I wouldn't be surprised if I'm on an antifa watch list.
So what do you call it when someone learns their opinions are wrong and changes? What is developing emotional maturity through experience if not "growing out of it?"
What a depressing state of mind you must live in to think that people are only capable of changing for the worse.
Oh well, if an anonymous stranger online says that their own personal experience says so 🤷♀️
Again, a lot of you are troubled by the idea that morality isn't as simple as just not doing the bad thing. I live in a much more optimistic world than the one you just portrayed.
