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.

Was thinking about this today. With all the publicity surrounding this slop, it really seems like a psyop to get younger people (or anyone) into a mindset of "I shouldn't learn programming. There's no jobs for that and AI will just do it. I shouldn't make music or art, AI will just do it anyway". I've even fallen into this trap myself a couple of times!

I'm sure educators have already heard "why am I learning this, i'll just have AI do it" a million times already.

Really seems like a great plan by the overlords. Depress everyone so they are dumb and unskilled so they are forced to use your trash.

I shouldn't make music or art, AI will just do it anyway.

definitely had the opposite effect for me. kinda want to learn how to draw because of AI.

In defiance or by inspiration?

[–] UnGlasierteGurke@feddit.org 6 points 2 weeks ago

because I found generating images so damn boring that I wanted to learn the real deal

I mean even just with the advent of the internet, its a little silly to be making anything whe millions, perhaps billions, of others are also doing it. My music will never be as good as The Greats (people who practiced 10 hours a day every day and toured 250 days of the year), and I myself wouldn't listen to my own stuff (except in my head) so I'm not sure its worth all the time and energy.

Have you ever thought about learning things not to be the best but just to "annoy" your friends? Kind of like:

If you don’t like doing it, then don’t. If you like doing it, do it for the sake of doing it.
