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.

MODERATORS
Fauxx is pretty cool.
Can you provide a link, either via comment or by editing the text in your original post?
EDIT: I found it.
As interesting as it is, it has a few problems.
LLM use in the project
LLMS, as we all know, have a vast number of problems. That's why we're in this community.
The biggest issue with Fauxx is that it uses LLMs for documentation, issues, and in "assistance" writing code and fixing bugs. Any programmer who outsources all or part of their thought or work to a slop bot is not exactly smiled upon in my view or here on !fuck_ai@lemmy.world. See the project's gen-AI use disclosure.
I believe that these two statements in that disclosure are mutually exclusive:
Hosting on GitHub
The second most notable issue to me is that it is hosted on GitHub, which is less than ideal. One of the reasons it is not ideal is because all of its source code has, by virtue of its hosting on GitHub, been scraped by Micro$lop Copilot. That said, the hosting situation is not disqualifying.
If this is the level of your moral purity tests, I would suggest you just stop using the internet at this point.
A zero generative AI tolerance is not unreasonable.
I still use tools woth genAI-translated issues, but that's about as far as I'll go, excepting the kernel.
As for the GitHub hosting, that's just a critique, not a disqualification. Much of the software I use is hosted there.
