"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.

Did you seriously think the freelancer isn't capable of creating something like that? Like, do you think that FedEx uses their name with a hidden arrow in the "Ex" because they couldn't hire anyone to draw them a photorealistic delivery truck with a box on it or whatever? Microsoft can't figure out how to make a window with reflections so they use the squares?
The simplicity isn't an accident.
Right?!? I wonder what happens when the business with the AI logo has to pay for full-color printing for all of their materials because their logo is so visually complex.
This isn't an issue if you solely operate digitally, but a storefront needs signage. Advertising becomes much more expensive in process color than 1 or 2 spot colors. Most physical businesses need things like business cards, invoices, purchase orders, packaging, ...
A professional designer will usually create a 1-color or 2-color logo to use for some of those things even when you have a full-color logo design to use on the most "important" materials. AI won't give that level of service, for sure.
You realise you are the ones in being ridiculed with rage bait ads here? Nobody uses these and it's, like with the last five thousand rage bait articles, only looking for engagement. Nothing else.
I think maybe this isn't the community for you.
Sorry, I don't like being in cozy communities with single minds. I like interacting with humans, especially those with contradictory opinions
Then maybe not a Community with the name "fuck ai" if you want "contradictory opinions" on ai
I don't understand? You are reacting with the exact designed rage and providing the exact free exposure the rage bait ad was selected to incite. None of it really has anything to do with ai?
There are plenty of communities for that. I like those too. But sometimes you just need to do bits on stupid AI slop.
But this is rage bait. It wants people to react the way you do and send to a friend. Only those still less informed when reached is their target that they want to sell ai to. It is pretty entertaining to view people so angry that they don't understand they are being played and ask them about it because most of the time they double down on their fury and it can lead to very deep personal conversations about their fears and reasons they are hateposting on the internet instead of living, it is interesting to me how people come to these behaviors
