"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.

I am a little shocked at the lack of solidarity I see between artists working in different mediums wrt genAI.

Musicians who would never use it to make music use it to make cover art

Graphic artists reach for it to make music over their videos

Writers use it to illustrate their articles

And, considering software development an art, many use it to create web sites or apps to host their art.

None of this is necessary. All of this is harmful to the other artists.

Collaborate ffs.

Stop it.

Nah there’s a lot of propaganda going around about LLMs and programmers. There’s some real die-hard advocates who think their own experiences project to the whole industry. It’s fucking awful at specialised domains with large proprietary codebases. Even if you get past needing a complete lack of moral backbone it just doesn’t make any sense to use in a lot of codebases - not that companies aren’t about to learn an expensive lesson about why.
