"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.

I noticed some changes in generative AI propaganda: fake centists, who promote "rational adaptation" (lemmy.world)

Noticed some AI evangelists try with the same kind of fake centrism, that was pretty popular during the Gamergate era. In this case, they try to set up people spamming genAI slop against "fanatical anti-AI people". But just as many loves to pretend moderates are "far-left", as their past-Gamergate selves pretended Anita Sarkeesian demanded state censorship of sexist videogames, as they are now pretending Hasan Piker is the most radical leftist living today (there are much worse even within the content creator sphere, such as Badempanda) to illustrate the "horseshoe theory", the table is tilted in favor of AI adoption.

People "selling their book" by hook and by crook on social media is an extremelly common thing since almost the turn of the century.

I mean, just look at most crypto discussions or the talk around TSLA. from just a few years ago.

The "I'm invested in this so I want ever more suckers to put money in it so that my investment is worth more and I'll tell random people on the Internet whatever bullshit it takes to convince them" crowd never changes, they just move around from one fashionable ponzi-like speculative investment to the next.

Its been a thing since before the internet was a thing. The "Honest American" who states theyre for other "honest Americans" and blames and shuns anyone who disagrees as "dishonest, cowardly" etc. (See "dont be a sucker" for this example)
