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.

Rules:

Relevant posts only.
No bigotry.
This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
Especially no AI advocacy.
Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

I dunno man. That's a deep dive. I'm not talking to it like it's my girlfriend, sometimes I need to make a PowerPoint and there's an image that I think would convey a point. I lack the artistic skills to produce it so I use an Ai help every once and awhile. I'm not convinced I'm as terrible and lonely a person as you make me out to be but I'll ask my psychiatrist about it just in case.

And yet some people do.

The idea that a robot which pretends to be your friend might satiate some people's desire to have a friend is not that deep a cut. It's barely even interesting.

Don't worry, we're all here to help you out.

You can use GIMP to put images on top of one another.
You can draw stick figures and other "shorthands" for objects.
There's this video here that can show you other tools for illustration rather than using AI.
It's also a good idea to get into a type of drawing, where instead of detailed illustration, it deals with visualizations such as maps, graphs, and flowcharts. You might want to practice that.

Also, you might just find an image that is pre-generated by some douchebag and ends up in your search results. The main thing you don't want to do is generate any new material.

I wasn't worried. I would need to share Lemmy's glaring hatred for AI to be motivated to invest that sort of time commitment. At my current state of bland boredom, I'm not there. Maybe if it takes my job or fucks my wife I'll get back to you, but I'm not big into fear. Any tool can be a weapon, any tool can be misused, AI is just another tool. It's not a cancer and its not a religion.

Boredom? I'm not bored. I'm fucking terrified of the government and the people behind it.
