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.

I mean, yes, but still fuck AI. It's totally possible that this person may have done the same thing had they been in a different head space that day.

That day? Dude had to then go find where to acquire sodium bromide, and then wait for it to show up, and then presumably consume it several times before appearing in the ER.

He had plenty of time to think “Maybe I should double check this”, but no.

{Exactly what @Nougat@fedia.io said} + all the other silly shit in the article. This was gonna happen anyway, the writers wanted this to happen for comedic purposes. Can't pin all or even some of the blame on AI.

Recently there have been so many stupid articles following the format f"{AI_model} tells {grown_up_person} to do {obviously_dumb_dangerous_thing} and they do it" to the point where it feels like mockery or sabotage of the anti-AI crowd.
