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.

The classic dealer trap, "the first one is free", it is clear that in five years AI companies will have ramped up the cost of using their models by a LOT.

It’s so obvious that this is going on but all the super geniuses running all the tech companies somehow believe that AI will magically get both better and cheaper and that the AI vendors will generously pass those savings on to their customers. People have been running this scam since Wonderbread was undercutting local bakeries but you can’t tell shit to an executive on a bubble high.
