"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.

Ok, thanks for that - but that's an hour-long video. I'm busy trying to keep my laptop from melting. Is there a tl;dw?
I just watched her "Final Thoughts" section and I think the key message is:
For me the good points were about avoiding unhelpful purism and being compassionate with people who were pushed to using genAI for understandable reasons. I found it helpful for being patient with loved ones who aren't quite the firebrand that I am.
As far as your problem is concerned, I'd say don't bother. If you are forced to interact with AI for economic reasons, I think it's healthier to be proper pissed about it rather than some forced conciliatory bullshit.
You're writing "don't resist" in pretty cursive to me. You can and should strike from AI jobs. The overton window is so far to the right we are unironically treating strikers like they're puritans and scabs like subjects of compassion smh
That's a cool comment from an alternate universe where there is both a strong social consensus and sufficient strike funds to wage labour action against the use of AI for work. Sounds nice over there.
Of course you should resist. I would prefer it if OP wouldn't sell out his data for AI training, but I can't reasonably demand that he would rather become destitute than support AI. Especially if he is dying on this hill farily alone.
While there may be popular opposition against AI datacenters, the same can not be said for the encroachment of AI on society in general. Many of the people we would need for a mass anti-AI movement are compromised by "convenient" chatbots or income based on the AI bubble. This will not be the case forever, but you need to realize when the cultural force is not behind you and shape your resistance accordingly. Right now that may mean, lay low, consolidate your allies, persuade people, and be ready for when this stupid doomed technofash project collapses under its own weight.
I live without AI perfectly fine but gaslight away. So do the people in my life. Plenty of them have jobs where they never use AI because they never used AI and always resisted it and so don't have to. I've seen it with my eyes, you're just weak and scared of living without AI
My guy/gal/goyle, I do in fact not use LLMs. Avoid them like the plague and encourage everyone I know to do the same. I also use Linux, self-host, own a non-Android/Apple phone, and (most shamefully) post on the threadiverse. I am also aware that the averagely IT-savvy person would have no fucking clue what any of that means.
If your circle is tech-progressive, I am happy for you. But maybe go read a statistic about general AI adoption, and have a think what it would take to move the needle on public opinion there. I agree that slop bros need some shaming, but coming off preachy and elitist doesn't do us any good.
You're bending the knee because of an article you read. To me that's so sad and pathetic. You are genuinely such a poser.
Also I have yet to see it and that data is manufactured by businesses with interests, obviously. Everyone I know IRL to a 99% ratio (and I know a lot of people) hate AI and don't use it and we all encourage each other to do the same. It started from a place of disagreement and protest. Rocking the boat. You HAVE to do it
I agree in principle, but, wow I have to admit it's hard. I hate this :(
