"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 have no problem with using AI for things it's actually good at and generally help people do their job. There are so many things that can be done more efficiently in regards to coding with using AI and it's very useful in that regard. That being said, AI should be used as a tool to make a coders life easier and more efficient, not replace them entirely. All these big tech companies are using AI as an excuse to replace workers when in reality they could keep all their employees and have them complete 10x the work with the same amount of effort.

The reason "vibe coding" is becoming a problem is because people that have no idea how to code are using it as a shortcut to not learn how to code at all. AI can be a really great tool for some of the more tedious and non-automated tasks coders have to use on a daily basis and discounting it entirely is just not feasible in the tech world anymore. It's basically the upgraded version of copy and pasting code you found on the internet which a lot of coders already do.

Nobody would care if the model was built on data that was legally acquired, gaining permission from the authors and paying them for it, if they requested.

Instead these models have illegally scraped the web and companies are now reselling that to you. Nobody has an issue with machine learning, it's the stealing of work and art.

"I made this"

Thats the first issue, before we move on to all the other issues AI causes.
