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.

A gamedev and artist I follow said this in response to someone asking if their game art was AI. It wasn't (and I don't even think it particularly looks like AI "art"), but like. Why would you be happy to hear this? What is the thought process?

“Good to know” doesn’t necessarily mean they’re happy to hear this. They’re just glad to be aware of it, possibly so they can make adjustments.

Unfortunately, I doubt this, since they also revealed they used AI to help them code their latest game.

Using AI to help and using AI to do something are completely different to me.

I mean as long as you're only using it as a search engine or a rubber duck, that's fine. If you're copy pasting generated output wholesale, that's stupid.

I interpret that as the seller saying, thanks for saying I make it look easy.

That's a good positive spin.

The output AI provides does not offset the tediousness of using it, not to mention that you have to always check its work thoroughly because it can tell you absolute nonsense. Google AI told me my local supermarket was open on thanksgiving day and it wasnt. Then I drove to a safeway nearby that google said was open 24/7 on thanksgiving day, and it was closing at 6. I got what I needed with seconds to spare.

EVERYTHING about using AI is like this. You cant trust it for shit and when you really need it to be accurate, it wont be. Nobody needs that in their lives, and CEOs and AI freeks are glossing over how much of a pain in the arse it is to use for anything but very very narrow use cases, where a google search would do fine anyway. I not only dont need it, I hate it.
