Do you really need to have a list of why people are sick of LLM and Ai slop?
We don't need a collection of random 'AI bad' articles because your entire premise is flawed.
In general, people are not 'sick of LLM and Ai slop'. Real people, who are not chronically online, have fairly positive views of AI and public sentiment about AI is actually becoming more positive over time.
Here is Stanford's report on the public opinion regarding AI (https://hai.stanford.edu/ai-index/2024-ai-index-report/public-opinion).
Stop being a corporate apologist and stop wreaking the environment with this shit technology.
My dude, it sounds like you need to go out into the environment a bit more.

I firmly believe we won’t get most of the interesting, “good” AI until after this current AI bubble bursts and goes down in flames.
I can't imagine that you read much about AI outside of web sources or news media then. The exciting uses of AI is not LLMs and diffusion models, though that is all the public talks about when they talk about 'AI'.
For example, we have been trying to find a way to predict protein folding for decades. Using machine learning, a team was able to train a model (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaFold) to predict the structure of proteins with high accuracy. Other scientists have used similar techniques to train a diffusion model that will generate a string of amino acids which will fold into a structure with the specified properties (like how image description prompts are used in an image generator).
This is particularly important because, thanks to mRNA technology, we can write arbitrary sequences of mRNA which will co-opt our cells to produce said protein.
Robotics is undergoing similar revolutionary changes. Here is a state of the art robot made by Boston Dynamics using a human programmed feedback control loop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNZPRsrwumQ
Here is a Boston Dynamics robot "using reinforcement learning with references from human motion capture and animation.": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I44_zbEwz_w
Object detection, image processing, logistics, speech recognition, etc. These are all things that required tens of thousands of hours of science and engineering time to develop the software for, and the software wasn't great. Now, freshman at college can train a computer vision network that outperforms these tools using free tools and a graphics card which will outperform the human-created software.
AI isn't LLMs and image generators, those may as well be toys. I'm sure eventually LLMs and image generation will be good, but the only reason it seems amazing is because it is a novel capability that computers have not had before. But the actual impact on the real world will be minimal outside of specific fields.
yeah this shit's working out GREAT

Once again it's not enough to justify the cost.
LLM translation are hazardous at best and we already a lot of translation tools already.
Templating systems are older than me and even so no one in their right mind should trust a non deterministic tool to draft documents.That's simply not true,
What translation tool is better at translating English to Afrikaans?I'm just just picking a difficult language, I am Afrikaans look at my post history.

I just avoid both flights and AI in its current form.

Are you going to neat-pick a point each time rather than addressing my argument as a whole ?
I'm french and I can tell you in a software developement context AI is worse than existing tool like deepL, maybe it work better in afrikaans and if that's the case good we finally have an use case !
sadly being ok at translating thing is not what thoose model are selled on and even if it were : it's still not worth the costI'll stop responding, no one is reading that far of a comment and you are not responding to my arguments in way that's productive.

DeepL has the same issues that a LLM has when it comes to translating.
You're still sending all your data to some server, it might be a bit more efficient than a LLM, not sure by how much. but it's essentially the same thing.
DeepL is essentially just a LLM specifically tuned for translations

I was laughing today seeing the same users who have been calling AI a bullshit machine posting articles like "grok claims this happened". Very funny how quick people switch up when it aligns with them.
Wouldn't posting articles about AI making up bullshit support their claim that AI makes up bullshit?

Run your own AI!
Oh sure, let me just pull a couple billion out of the couch cushions to spin up a data center in the middle of the desert.

There are more 3d games developed each year than companies releasing new AI models.
You're getting downvoted for providing a well founded argument that should facilitate a broader discussion. Jesus Christ what are we doing here, people?

Every system eventually ends with someone corrupted with power and greed wanting more. Putin and his oligrachs, Trump and his oligarchs... Xi isn't great, but at least I haven't heard news about the Uyghurs situation for a couple of years now. Hope things are better there nowadays and people aren't going missing anymore just for speaking out against their government.

Rather, our problem is that we live in a world where the strongest will survive, and the strongest does not mean the smart... So alas we will always be in complete shit until we disappear.

A better solution would be selecting world leaders from the population at random.

Extreme oversimplification. Hammers don't kill the planet by simply existing.
And neither does AI? The massive data centers are having negative impacts on local economies, resources and the environment.
Just like a massive hammer factory, mines for the metals, logging for handles and manufacturing for all the chemicals, paints and varnishes have a negative environmental impact.
Saying something kills the planet by existing is an extreme hyperbole.
