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.

Why do you hate AI? (lemmy.world)

I work in the AI world and understand a lot of reasons to hate AI (like how every company is trying to ram it down people's throats). However I am genuinely curious why the hate is so popular, and what arguments/opinions people have, and would like to hear the discussion.

Even advertising, which is forced on everyone and disliked, doesn't seem to get as vocal a response for hate.

Why do you hate AI? Why do you think the hate is so vocal/common/strong?

After reading comments:

I am thinking it's simply:

  1. Have aspects that people can strongly dislike eg the points people list.

  2. Be forced into everyone's life and media constantly.

Like a similar psychological phenomenon to when Nickelback was hated, but magnified by being more serious and grounded.

I think that we should also be careful with where the hate is directed, since modelling learning of distributed systems at scale is very essential science and technology to be able to understand biology, physics, neuroscience, etc. The only way humanity currently scales new technologies unfortunately is through the capital machine, and the scale is a necessary component of this science.

First, if you're actually curious, I recommend perusing this community and reading a lot.

I'll do a short, non-exhaustive list that I will try to not turn into a rant.

Generative AI, LLMs, specifically is what I'll be referring to. Not things like image recognition or OCR.

  • All LLMs today are inherently using stolen data.
  • AI hyperscale data centers are ruining our environment
    • water
    • air
    • especially in communities that are already underserved
  • I want to spend what precious little time I have speaking and interacting with other Humans, not arguing with robots or even "Being more productive."
  • huge cybersecurity concerns
  • Something something economy, but this is tied with my humans point. If we're improving the economy by automating shit, while many are not getting the basic necessities of life, that's an issue.

I see most of these points, but for some reason it feels like it doesn't capture the magnitude and widespread hate. Has it just become a sticking point to signal anti American capitalism (I'm not trying to imply American capitalism is bad or good, just stating it)?

Yeah I am subscribed to this community
