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.

This is what happens when AI is tasked with surveillance.

Although AI involvement is not mentioned in the article, this quote might implicate that AI recognition could have been used:

“It’s got the incorrect date of birth, then it’s got a description of me, which says I have hat hair, which I found quite odd,” he said.

The problem with all that is that the whole process seems to be automated and that it hardly can be interrupted with human intervention.

Jones is also concerned the same thing might happen to somebody else who may not have the capacity to challenge the fine.

This indeed is concerning, as it already is challenging sometimes to deal with authorities, even when AI is not involved at all.

AI is already getting people killed by driving them to suicide. I sometimes like to chat with LLMs, but if that subject is anything serious, then it becomes VERY irritating indeed.

It's nothing to do with AI. Someone just clicked the wrong name in the list and once the wheels are in motion, no one really has any incentive to stop it.

Yes, in an unexpected inception level of irony, this community is about as echo chambery as talking to chatgpt about a solution you found to a nonexistent problem.

Say you don’t like ai, get upvotes, say anything dissenting - even if it is the truth - and the entire community mimics the same sycophantic training of the very ai models they are against.

We need a new community called ai_critics or ai_sceptics, as the fuck in the current name is taken to a schoolyard level of irony here.

Literally exactly what we have been warning about. The UK really has overtaken China in some areas of dystopianism at this point.

Guess we need a Brazil reboot. But instead of a fly, it's just AI making all the decisions
