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.

Look at this shit (first paragraph of body of article):

"Automatic watches are admired for their intricate mechanics and timeless appeal, but even the finest timepieces can sometimes run fast or slow. If you’ve noticed your automatic watch gaining or losing time, you’re not."

First search result on DDG. Thank you, automatic watch expert and real person Hnin Oo Thazin. We may need a whole ass new internet.

This is one of the reasons I switched to Startpage and asked it to hide any AI results.

It's by no means a great article, but I don't think the sentence (or the article at a glance) was generated; it's missing the word "alone" (If you’ve noticed your automatic watch gaining or losing time, you’re not alone) which is a distinctly human typo. I will say it absolutely lacks proofreading.

its entirely possible

That article is remarkably concise though. I usually get those that start at Adam and Eve or the Big Bang, eventually reach the invention of watches and never get to the point of automatic watches and their issues (or whatever specific problem I searched for).

Ironically enough using AI for searching actually spares me wading through slop at the moment.
