"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.
You can help the mod team by making your reports detailed.
Effective reports:
- "The third image is a well-known anti-semitic trope"
- "Claiming that 'agentic AI' can outperform humans at all jobs is misinformation"
Less effective reports:
- "Breaks rules"
- "Misinformation"

Ughh… don’t call it superintelligence. That’s not a thing.
bigly intelligence
ASI is an industry term. This is not Trump's idiot SI.
I've studied AI for over half my life. No, it fucking isn't and has never been.
Nobody fucking cares, bootlicker
So you'll say anything the "industry" says? Even though it's fake?
The term is real and has meaning. Doesn't matter if you agree with that meaning, but it has nothing to do with Trump's dumbass reimagining of "AI".
The people pushing it the most are anti-intellectuals.
We need to call it fake intelligence.
That's what it's already called, "artificial" is a synonym for "fake" in most contexts.
Right, but artificial is a four syllable word, clearly beyond their grasp.
Somewhat, though fake also implies it isn't actually intelligence. It's a charade. Artificial intelligence does the opposite. They're related, but I don't think they're technically synonymous.
the word artificial presents an an artificial dichotomy between the "natural" world and the "manmade" world. because we are neither animals nor part of the environment.
So, artificial?
Yes - maybe I should have been clear about what I was implying. Artificial is clearly too big of a word for them to understand.
Dont blame your goof on other people being stupid, own it.
Goof?
It's a thing in the sense that unicorns are a thing. There aren't any currently, but it's a coherent concept. If they banned unicorns within city limits, the ban wouldn't do anything unless someone managed to make a unicorn; same idea with ASI.
It's a real term.
"Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) is a hypothetical stage of AI where a computer system surpasses the cognitive performance and problem-solving abilities of the most gifted human minds across every domain of interest."
I really want to see how they measure the "cognitive performance" of an LLM...
I also want to know what part of problem solving exists outside of these tests, as it's actually a core component of cognitive testing.
Seems like someone made shit up, I'm guessing using an LLM...
I suspect this is the point
