"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.
- No misinformation.
- No NSFW/NSFL content without being labeled NSFW or being in an appropriately-labeled spoiler tag.
- 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.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
- 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.

- "Claiming that 'agentic AI' can outperform humans at all jobs is misinformation"
Less effective reports:
- "Breaks rules"
- "Misinformation"

The problem isn't AI gaining intelligence, it's allowing AI to have agency and then it gets an potentially dangerous prompt that leads it to hack into, just for the sake of being funny, a bunch of places to delete the entire stock market. As funny as it would be it would lead to a complete economic collapse. I'd actually feel safer if it did have actual intelligence. We're talking about a technology where if you have broken unit tests (software term meaning a certain set of tests the code has to pass to be considered functional) and you tell AI to "fix the unit tests" there's a non-zero chance of it just deleting the tests and saying it's fixed.
AI is dangerous not in the way movies present it where it gains sentience and wipes us out. It's dangerous in the opposite way where it doesn't have intelligence and wipes us out because it doesn't understand it's doing something that's going to kill us.
Exactly. Water issues/food issues/breathable atmosphere... not a problem if there are no more living things!
Yeah, but we need paperclips! How else do you reset things?
