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.

True. We all do it, even this community is a bit of an echo chamber like that, but I just don't understand how people fall for machines that are programmed to output sycophantic text.
I just don't think human brains are ready to handle the chatbots maturely. The bots are programmed to market themselves and keep you feeling positive and engaged with every single conversation, it's literally all just a massive lie to take money from us, and there are adults out there running businesses and driving cars who fall for it.
Very bleak.
