I am definetly guilty even tho i should start judging after knowing if its useful ai or gen ai

[fartswithanaccent@fedia.io]

Let's cook the fucking planet so we can generate stupid images we're too lazy to photoshop! What's not to like? More fossil fueled plagiarized bullshit so I don't have to think please!

Edit: Looks like I struck a nerve with some people who are, similarly to "AI", confidently incorrect about a few things. I'm not even saying LLM can't be used for good, it has, but I am saying that it is being used for a lot of bad shit and it's being powered by a lot of bad shit on top of that.

Think about that before you start hyping "AI" and attacking anyone who criticizes it because there's some valid criticisms that are very dangerous to ignore.

Thanks for providing an example

The pronouns of LLMs are typically “useless/drivel”

[pixelatedsaturn@lemmy.world]

Yesterday I saw a guy attacked on fuck_ai because he wasn't extreme enough with his anti ai attitude.

I commented to him, only said I thought that his comment was valid and got promptly deleted.

I really don't think there is any useful generative or general AI.

So a lot of the issue is how marketing got their slimy tentacles around the word, but most "useful" AI is domain specific, symbolic ML (machine learning). Even LLMs have their uses in very specific domains, but again, general usage is very questionable.

People are already somewhat familiar with ML, but that's been kind of covered by the catch all term "algorithm". What most people understand as "the" algorithm (YouTube, Twitter, whatever) isn't a single algorithm, but a complex set of algorithms often at least partly compromised of some sort of ML.

All that to say, the general public really doesn't need to know this stuff and the serious engineers couldn't care less of our opinion of it. Fuck AI.

[archmageazor@lemmy.world]

Yeah, the church of anti-AI is loud, obnoxious, and obstinate.

[buddascrayon@lemmy.world]

It has been my experience that things go the other way around. Usually people read the text (or programming script), see that it's nonsense and ask, "Is this fucking AI? Cause I really hope no one is actually this stupid."

And then they get annoyed that someone is cooking the planet using AI instead of their brain.

[fartswithanaccent@fedia.io]

So sorry for criticizing AI for very serious problems that will affect me in my lifetime along with everyone I care about. What a piece of shit I am, please forgive me! AI is totally great and has no problems at all!

[fartswithanaccent@fedia.io]

[slopping intensifies]

People hyping "AI" are the ones that seem like cultists to me. It's not even artificial intelligence, they're misusing the term to make money. They rebadged LLM.

[archmageazor@lemmy.world]

That's not what the post is about? How do you know I don't agree with you? This post is about people, not AI.

[archmageazor@lemmy.world]

I have never seen anyone other than tech bros hype AI. Quite the opposite, I only see people raging on AI.

[a_union_of_kobolds@lemmy.world]

Gee do you think maybe there's some good fuckin reasons for that

[wizblizz@lemmy.world]

Is this the new sub tweeting? Whining in a shitpost sub about how you got modded for continuing to support a logical fallacy after the mod said knock it off?

[ph3ra@lemmy.ml]

I will stop freaking out when they will stop trying to shove it down my throat all the time

[danc4498@lemmy.world]

You must only be reading web forums like Lemmy/Reddit. I think society as a whole is very excited by the idea of AI.

Companies everywhere have been racing to be the first to add AI to their products, for instance. Not just tech bro companies either. Everybody.

Edit: so many downvotes and no comments. I see AI hype everywhere, it’s a fact. I’m not saying it’s a good thing, just that it isn’t limited to tech bros.

[moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I agree, they should be more like me and use their brain to cook the planet

edit: now that's what I call hot-headed

[denjin@feddit.uk]

That's what she said!

^I'm sorry^

[redpandaraider@feddit.org]

You can run AI off of renewable energies too.
This isn't an issue of AI. It's an issue of capitalism.

[carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

AI only exacerbates an existing problem with tech; AI datacenters pollute and consume because datacenters pollute and consume

a lot of things many people do online, including watching videos or playing online games, are super polluting. yet no one talks about this

you don’t care about the environment, you care about AI
