"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.

Good lord. Someone on an anti-AI forum indicating a vague understanding of the issue rather than just screeching incoherently?
Never thought I’d see it.
Do you have something to add, or do you just want to take a cheap shot at people who are critical of a thing you like?
Most people here have a better understanding of ai than ai consumers i know. I find this community to be anti ai, as big tech hype/marketing brand, not anti ai as a branch of programming that includes ML and efficient, well-scoped models.
There’s no room for rational discussion about AI on Lemmy. I learnt that one a while ago.
And I never said I liked it. That’s just an assumption you’ve made, based on nothing.
Your first comment took a detour to follow a valid post with confirmation bias-led ad hominem. I think it was a safe assumption based on your defensiveness, but keep those blinders up.
I often speak positively of specific ML and ai algorithms in this community, and I suspect the only downvotes I get are from ai fanboys who don't like hearing their favorite chatbot is a grift led by billionaires.
Seems to contradict your first comment, but sure, we're the irrational ones. We must be if we don't like ai /s
Nah. I once used AI to help refine a comment and make a meaningful contribution to a (non-AI) discussion. It was a valid use of a tool. I was honest and up front about it. But that didn’t matter. I got completely dogpiled by the entire community. They went as far as finding me and sending abusive messages on other platforms. Not one person even thought to address the actual point I was making on the OP.
So yeah. That’s Lemmy on AI. Frankly, I’ve lost so much respect for the community here based on its feral mindset that even Reddit is starting to look appealing again.
As for calling me a fanboy, part of my job involves AI governance. It’s my job to understand the limitations and the risks posed by the tech. To ensure it’s used legally and ethically. And to reign in over-enthusiastic execs. For the most part, I end up advocating for my company to not adopt AI tools.
So you really couldn’t be further from the truth.

LOL. Good one.
There is no reason to add the "anti-AI". Both sides of the argument have people who dont understand he topic and give terrible arguments.
I have seen more misunderstanding and ignoring of arguments on the pro-AI side, but more insulting the other side on the anti-AI side
There's that screeching sound again.
