"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.

I have coworkers who use generative AI for flyers and such. They all have a similar look.
As a guy who can make flyers in Publisher (or PowerPoint or even Word) and Pages (Apple's version of Word/Publisher), it's kinda sad to see. I can understand the aversion to clip art, but AI slop is way worse.
What's crazy is that they actually have an employee (me) who can do the thing, and I often have the time to do it. But, it's not like I get paid less when they use AI to make a flyer.
I'm a sysadmin and wanted a simple icon for a custom script/utility for a program.
I tried to use an LLM make a logo based on the original program logo (provided) and either gears or tools.
Holy crap the output was such garbage.
"Garbage in. Garbage out." I thought so I tried to prompt engineer that shit and 30 min later it was still garbage.
I just used powerpoint and clipart to make one in 15 minutes..
I don't understand why people struggle with vector graphics. The gipity don't even give you organised vectors. People are really fucking themselves in the long run. That is why the gipity is used for scamming because those turds don't care.
I finally convinced a colleague that a bulleted list with a JPG at the top makes a better flier than the slop she generated for the same event last year.
We fuckin' ran out of fliers this year.
If I see slop I equate it to scam. So If anyone out there wants to champion a cause keep that in mind. SLOP == Scam
I like the idea of offering two prices for a job.
$3000 for a flier without AI.
$20 for a flier with AI.
