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.

It brings to mind a couple ST: TNG episodes, too. Geordi had a similar experience when he had the computer generate some physicist to help him deal with some warp issue and then met the actual her (who was married and a lot less warm with him) later on.
And Bartlett's (was that his name?) introductionary episode, though his only has similar subject matter, as he wasn't trying to bring the fantasy to reality but it came to light anyways when his addiction prompted an intervention that became awkward af.
Barkley?
Closer than I was, it was Liutenant Reginald Barclay.
And the actor was Dwight Schultz, which at first I thought was a hallucination from the search assist but IMDB agrees.
And when I asked if "the office character" was deliberately named after the actor, it informed me that no, Creed Bratton (played by actor Creed Bratton) wasn't named after either the actor's or character's name. Then a follow up question informed me that the office character was Dwight Schrute, not Shultz, so that character probably also wasn't named after him.
Being bad with names can sometimes be more hilarious than it should be.
