Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Does that position exist outside of twitter, though ?
When GenAI-critical people say "AI", they almost universally mean LLMs (and sometimes also diffusion models / multimodal ones). And in fact they usually mean "LLMs as sold by the VCs". LLMs themselves do have a few legitimate use cases (for perhaps 0.1% of the target population they're currently being sold to, but still).
They do not mean machine learning in general - which is awesome, extremely useful, and has been in widespread use for decades now. Including traditional neural-network-based classifiers.
It's the standard reddit position and you can even see it in this thread. Like some people genuinely do not understand that there are categorical differences between the shitty chatbots making everything worse at scale just to make things worse and some dork that's just being annoying by posting the weird dream his computer had as if anyone gives a shit.
