"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.

Lying to large corporation.

Quick story to go along with this. I purchased a new in the box playpen from a used clothing and good sale. After opening it and setting it up, it seems like it was missing a hole to attach one of the secondary accessories to this playpen. Everything else was working and this was something that was a nice to have add on.

After a week of trying to prove that I purchased this item and is actually missing that hole, I was informed this was unreplaceable but I could get a refund. After I said I wanted a refund I was informed that I needed to destroy the entire item to get the $50 refund and send them pictures. So I had to either destroy the only functional part of this item or find a picture that looks like I did. I decided on lying and used a Gen-AI image tool to create this. It ended up working out and I am getting the refund without breaking anything. If they are forcing this technology down our throats, I will use to circumvent stupid policies. Hopefully the energy used to create the photo is less than the energy needed to create a one playpen.

Obviously this is just theory because who would steal from a large corporation.....

Anyone participating in capitalism has been doing all sorts of damage, this is just a new level. Throw rocks, but realize there's glass walls everywhere.
