    Because once the name went from machine learning algorithms to AI a bunch of mindless zombies started pretending that it was what is now being called AGI. So companies started it putting it in everything which believe it or not bothers people

      Seriously someone here merely asked why people didn't like AI here and he had a dozen down votes before the first comment even came in. It's clearly just a trigger for some people.

        What is your argument here? That because Ticktock and the like use up huge amounts of energy for their slop that is fine for AI to do the same? Because I could just reply with:

        "Social media isn't the issue, it's humans."

        And what AI output isn't slop?

        I'm saying trying to dismiss all AI usage with the energy usage argument is disingenuous if you don't have a similar issue with social media.

        The truth is that you've read someone else saying it and latched onto to it.

        As for "what AI output isn't slop?", come on - literally anything can be bad, generated by AI or not. I personally use AI for spotting bugs in code - it's good. I also use AI to generate complex XSLT and regexes - it's very good at that.

        Is it 100% correct all of the time? Of course not, but it gets it right on the first try far more often than a person would, in a fraction of the time.

        I built a tool that generates MCQs from a given text for revision - it's extremely useful.

        I use it for translations when I want to read something a different language. Is it perfect, again no, but it's better than I am, and it allows me to understand the text.

        Also, AI is in everything already - your camera app, the Google suite, even your car if you have TSR.

        AI itself isn't the problem - it's the people who create slop that are.

          No, it's not just a trigger. It's just really that bad.

            Yes I will fucking freak out. The planet is on fucking fire, people can't afford basic groceries, species are dying - and some idiots insist in spending water, using energy and stealing people's works using some fascist tech-bro's doombot because AI is supposedly fun or convenient. I hate AI with a passion for all the reasons reasonable people keep explaining again, and again, and again: the environment, the copyright, the dark fascist agenda behind it. Soon enough I'll lose patience with stupid AI bros who are going 'but it's just harmless fun' and just screech into their ears at full volume in a last desperate attempt to wake up their shrinking GPTchat-fucked brains.

              I'm not saying AI is a bad as Nazis, although a lot of it's proponents are, but maybe you can see how people might have a visceral reaction to it and not want to "discuss it's merits".

                You literally did compare it by writing that. You literally compared AI to Nazis. That is a horrid comparison.

                  At the rate it's going to will result in the death of at least as many people. Stop your pearl clutching, and read my actual statement, or get offended and ignore what I'm saying, doesn't matter to me. Little Nazi techbros wasting massive resources on a toy that's more damaging than good doesn't deserve discourse.

                      Once again, a reactionist who doesn't know that things like AlphaFold, AI assisted malignant tumor scanning and a few other very beneficial technologies are also AI. Technologies that are not slop, or "A human would do better" scenarios but true breakthroughs.

                        You know full well that's not what people are talking about when they are pushing AI currently. There are plenty of great tools that have been around for awhile, but these bullshit chatbots that are wasting resources are not useful tools.
