Is that Brian "Please don't call me Brian "Brian Kibler" Kibler" Kibler?

AI is trained on the Internet. Look at the bullshit on the Internet. AI will take some random schmoe's bullshit opinion and present it as hard fact.

That, and it just re-introduced the problem of being able to see search results without visiting any of the resultant websites. The last time, sites ended up burying answers down the page to avoid being able to see results in search previews. Making everything shittier. What kind of response is there going to be to AI summaries? Everything will undoubtedly get even shittier as sites try to get people to visit and not just read the AI summary. Hello even more obfuscation. We're taking the greatest method of spreading information around the globe ever devised and just absolutely filling it to the brim with bullshit.

I hate the fact that thanks to chatgpt, every twerp out there things em-dashes are an automatic sign of something being written by ai...

As a writer and an em-dash enjoyer, hell with that!

The technology is way too resource intensive for the benefit it gives. By resource, I mean environmental and technological. Have you seen the prices of DDR5 RAM? Microsoft is actually working to bring TMI 1 back online. TMI = Three Mile Island as in a full sized nuclear reactor that has been retired from service since 2019. The only reason why they are not bringing TMI2 back online is because IF F$%KING MELTED DOWN IN 1979.

Add to that Micron exited the consumer market to provide memory to the AI market only... What the actual F#$k?

Now the bubble has formed and the people that shoved tens of billions into it are trying to fill that bubble by any means necessary. Which means the entire population of this country are constantly bombarded by it for purposes it is ill suited to.

When, not if, this bubble pops it's going to be a wild ride.

I've seen it successfully perform exactly one task without causing more harm or crearing liability for the people using it:

Misinformation campaigns.

And thats exactly how the AI Companies are using to to grow exponentially, lying about its costs and its capabilities both.

It's weird that this is somehow an unpopular opinion these days but I don't like being lied to.

I don't entirely hate AI.

I like AI for when I want to personally use it for art ideas because I'm not an artist and honestly, paying someone to draw for you can be expensive as it is a luxury. I just don't run anything like a DA account to show it off.

I don't like AI when it has been used to lazily write scripts for movies/shows, to draft essays and be used as a shortcut for someone's work.

I like AI when it can be used as a companion tool.

I don't like AI when it tries being a therapist for serious mental issues.

I don't like AI when it is used as a poor excuse of troubleshooting.

I don't like AI for the damage it is causing to the market of PC memory.

I don't like AI being shoved down my throat and for the companies you least expect it to use it, suddenly start using it.

So with a score of 2-5, if AI was just erased right now, I wouldn't really miss it. But I don't entirely hate it. It is a completely misused and abused kind of tool that's shoved into everyone's lives and marketed as a catch-all solution to nearly all problems, when there is a mountain of evidence and recorded studies saying otherwise.

I don't hate AI, I hate it being forced everyone's throat and I don't trust the companies running it to keep the data they collect safe and private

I don't hate AI. I just hate the untrustworthy rich fucks who are forcing it down everyones throats.

I hate AI because it's replacing jobs (a.k.a, salaries) without us having a social safety net to make it painless.

We've replaced you with ai

-CEO

Ai is replacing most of the jobs, and there isn't enough open positions to be filled by the now unemployed.

-Ecconomists

I need food stamps, medical care, housing assistantance, and unemployment.

-Me

No! Get a job you lazy welfare queen!

-Politicians

Where? There aren't any.

-Me

Not my problem! Now, excuse me while I funnel more money to my donors.

-The same politicians

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

I don't hate it, I hate how companies are forcing it in regardless of how stupid it is for the task.

what the fuck is this stereotype

I don't hate AI (specifically LLMs and image diffusion thingy) as a technology. I don't hate people who use AI (most of the time).

I do hate almost every part of AI business, though. Most of the AI stuff is hyped by the most useless "luminaries" of the tech sector who know a good profitable grift when they see one. They have zero regard for the legal and social and environmental implications of their work. They don't give a damn about the problems they are causing.

And that's the great tragedy, really: It's a whole lot of interesting technology with a lot of great potential applications. And the industry is getting run to the ground by idiots, while chasing an economic bubble that's going to end disastrously. It's going to end up with a tech cycle kind of similar to nuclear power: a few prominent disasters, a whole lot of public resentment and backlash, and it'll take decades until we can start having sensible conversations about it again. If only we would have had a little bit of moderation to begin with!

The only upside AI business has had was that at least it has pretended to give a damn about open source and open access to data, but at this point it's painfully obvious that to AI companies this is just a smoke screen to avoid getting sued over copyright concerns - they'd lock up everything as proprietary trade secrets if they could have their way.

As a software developer, I was first super excited about genAI stuff because it obviously cut down the time needed to consult references. Now, a lot of tech bosses tell coders to use AI tools even in cases that's making everyone less productive.

As an artist and a writer I find it incredibly sad that genAI didn't hit the brakes a few years ago. I've been saying this for decades: I love a good computerised bullshit generator. Algorithmically generated nonsense is interesting. Great source of inspiration for your ossified brain cells, fertile grounds for improvement. Now, however, the AI generated stuff pretends to be as human-like as possible, it's doing a terrible job at it. Tech bros are half-assedly marketing it as a "tool" for artists, while the studio bosses who buy the tech chuckle at that and know they found a replacement for the artists. (Want to make genAI tools for artists? Keep the output patently unusable out of the box.)

Sounds like something someone pretending to be white would say.

I don't hate AI. However, I:

• Am concerned about the labor displacement it may cause--though I am skeptical it will be as widespread as currently feared. I think many of the companies that have cut workers already will end up regretting it in the medium term.
• Am convinced that the massive, circular investment in this technology has produced an economic bubble that will burst in the coming years. Because we have so little insight into private credit markets, we don't know to what degree retail and commercial banks will be exposed, and thus can't anticipate the potential damage to the broader economy.
• Am fatigued (but unsurprised) that the US government is not considering thoughtful regulation that anticipates the disruption that AI is likely to cause.
• Am cognizant of its current limitations.
• Do not currently believe that AGI is imminent or even guaranteed. I think elites peddling this notion may be captured by highly motivated reasoning. In some cases, it seems like a bit of a belief system.

Anything the billionaire cabal pushes on us I automatically hate. Don't even need to know what it is. If they are pushing it you know there is some nefarious shit under the hood.

I'm still waiting for it to appear and then lets ask them how they like it. Its not like the garbage we have now is really AI.

AI is only looks good if you're an outsider to the profession. The moment you're even an amateur, you'll see all of its faults. It's just a plagiarizing machine with a built-in contextual search function (any AI model that runs as an actual contextual search instead of a wannabe assistant with a flattering personality?), that can make some crappy looking and weirdly specific clip art, stock music with funny-sounding gimmicks, and buggy code you'd better plagiarize from public domain licensed code from Github.

No one has convinced me how it is good for the general public. It seems like it will benefit corpos and governments, to the detriment of the general public.

It's just another thing they'll use to fuck over the average person.
