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.

My university is starting to get desperate. (infosec.pub)

The email is ominously titled "Final Reminder : The Importance of AI" and flagged "High Importance" when it's just an ad.

Rest of it goes on about how they got a wallstreet bro to come give a speech about "AI replacing 40% of the jobs."

Idk why a university likes AI this much either. They even overlook cheating as long as it involves AI.
Both students and graders tell each other they use it openly.

At first it felt weird I am complaining about free accounts and free speeches from investors but then it kinda clicked these are NOT free either. My tuition is paying for all of this.

Even the bus pass has a 5-day sign up process to "save money from students not using that service."

But somehow they just arbitrarily gave everyone multiple premium chatbot accounts anyways.

Am I just paying a 50% ransom to microsoft for my degree at this point?

Also the email is AI generated too. ITS FROM THE FUCKING DEAN.

No one who frames LLMs as AI should be taken seriously. The only legitimate association between the 2 is in fiction, ridicule, and jest.

LLMs are, at their core, regurgitation recipes of beige Soylent, refried at vague temperatures in non-deterministic air fryers, which were originally designed as HVAC systems.

I’m sure there are legitimately useful toys LLMs can be applied as, but I’m yet to observe any. One thing is for sure, a tornado in their horse wombs will never birth a submarine.

I’ll take AI seriously once an instance of Natural Intelligence is identified.

I've found they make for a great movie search engine giving a vague description of the plot, but besides that I haven't found a use.

I like them for helping me dig through very thorough documentation to help me find the right setting to change, in a tool I rarely touch.

[–] KittyCat@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I've tried that, but sometimes itakes up settings that don't exist.
