"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:

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

For your first point about me claiming "AI": this channel is literally called "fuck AI", I don't care what it's called, I'm just using the common language.

Your next points are about some negative companies/uses like palantir. Since you probably don't hate other technologies that have bad uses as well as good ones, I am wondering what you think is especially bad about neural networks (did you form your own opinion or are you jumping on some identity?); hell, I don't even know what you mean by kill lists for LLMs, and given the popularity I'm going to guess people find much use for them that aren't this or bad.
