"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.

MODERATORS
Sure, "LLMs and GPTs are just tools" is a potentially defensible take.
But, Copilot and Claude and Gemini and Apertus and every other model, "open weight" or not, that has been studied enough will (unknown the the user) sometimes generate output that infringes on the copyrights of the training data AND most, if not all, of the models with high-quality output involved human rights abuses as part of their training process (per Amnesty International).
Maybe, in the future, we'll have models that are trained only on freely redistribute content without human rights abuses and without setting environmental goals back 10-15 YEARS. Maybe.
If that happens, I might be willing to use those tools myself, and I'll certainly stomach their output as part of my won workflows. Until we have those ethical models, FUCK all of them and their output, they aren't just tools; using there output is apologia for immoral acts and using the models is collaboration immoral people.
EDIT: Reworded for clarity: ~~fails to generate output that will not infringe the copyright terms of the training data~~
