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.

That’s solid but not specific enough. I know a lot of people let YouTube and TikTok do their thinking these days.
I argue its worse, in the end whatever is being regurgitated from what they see on youtube ends with the video duration, but these people are to believe that these things think - hell they think the AI is smarter than themselves and defer all judgement. I wish it remained an internet phenomena but I've met too many true believers already 😑
/anecdote
Guy in one of my code classes, would not just fucking tell me if he wrote his code, or the AI did. I knew the AI did, because you don't come asking why it's not working when he didn't declare any variables, big red error "variable not declared". It was the end of that semester, I was there with him every single period. The audacity to have me debug the shitbot's chicken scratch, claim its super helpful, but also cover its dumb ass by being an even bigger dumbass and fail probably the easiest javascript course you could've asked for. I am honestly still in awe.
Boy am I glad I didn’t go to school (and don’t have to teach) during AI.
Back in my day you knew people were copy and pasting from stack overflow because Python would complain about mixed indentation and there’d be comments in only one function.
I do feel for the TAs having to read our printed assignment and hand written code on tests.
Still better than AI tbh, depending on your source.
Joe Rogan: No thanks. Hank Green or ElectroBOOM: Yes please.
