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.

Summary:

I downvoted pro-AI comments in a post in leftymemes community. It was LLM generated polandball comic (Which is objectively pathetic as fuck) that showed up on my feed, blocked couple of users who I thought were unhinged, and have blocked the whole instance on my client after realizing how rabid these morons are.

I didn't go looking for AI posts like a vigilante.

One user in question got miffed for being downvoted and banned me from places they moderate.

I blocked the whole community after seeing bullshit like "no rule against AI means you must imply that any criticism of AI is against the rules"

I have been debating whether or not to block the entire db0 instance because of its pro-AI stance. It's weird to me that a self-proclaimed anarchist instance is so pro-GenAI garbage. Even the reasoning of being pro-AI because it's anti-copyright is dumb as fuck.

Yeah they see themselves as “seizing the means of production” but they aren’t doing shit. You aren’t a freedom fighter using Ai. You are just another tool in their machine and you are giving them more power.

They aren't pro corpo Ai.

They're very much against the mass scraping/ddos ai companies are doing.

Hell, db0 contributes to !techtakes@awful.systems a lot.

I still think it's disgraceful to generate and defend AI slop over copyright ideals. To me, it says they admire bullshit computer generated phantasms more than actual, human art.

Strongly agreed

I see what you're saying but fuck copyright.

You’ve been posting on this instance for 6 days, yet you seem so knowledgeable about the user in question. Insteresting…

Also: Did you really accuse me of being an alt of him?

Everyone should block that corporate bootlicking pro-AI shithole, they're bad news and nothing good can ever come of them.
