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.

I do not hate AI, because it doesn't exist. I'm not delusional.
I do resent the bullshit generators that the tech giants are promoting as AI to individual and institutional users, and the ways they have been trained without consent on regular folks' status updates, as well as the works of authors, academics, programmers, poets, and artists.
I resent the amount of work, energy, environmental damage, and yes, promotional effort that has gone into creating an artificial desire for a product that a) nobody asked for, and b) still doesn't do what it is claimed to do.
And I resent that both institutions and individuals are blindly embracing a technology that at every step from its creation to its implementations denigrate the human work — creative, scholarly, administrative and social — that it intends to supplant.
But Artificial Intelligence? No such thing. I'll form an opinion if I ever see it.
While I haven't thought about that before, now that I have, I totally agree. Ty fir sharing your pov :)
