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.

Left is the picture from the posting, right is google street view.

This shit really ruins everything, luckily it's bad enough in this case to easily spot. AI gibberish on the sign, no small balcony in front, rock wall next to the street missing, pretty mountain in the background that doesn't exist, weird blue pole.

I hate how this turns the whole internet adversarial, even more so than it already was. You really need to double- and triple-check everything and trust nothing, unless you want to turn up some place and get let down. I really don't understand what drives people to do something like this. And I don't know how this can go any other way than the internet just becoming completely useless.

Bonus pics from inside:

Note how the lamp seems to have grown more leaves in between shots, and how the fireplace door wraps around the corner in one picture, but not in the other, as well as lacking any handle to open it.

It’s even better if it’s not perfect for scamming purposes. Filters out intelligent and educated people who can spot it. Just like when scammers misspell words and use poor grammar on purpose.

Everyone who spots more than 0 AI scams will give them false confidence where they can spot them all - "AI slop" yada yada

When in reality, lots of people people will never know the AI ads/scams they missed and fell for, especially if the product recieved is somewhat close.

AI is a lot more invasive than you think it is, as it improves it'll only blur the lines on what's real and what's not and you'll start thinking real things are AI

I don't think being intelligent or educated necessarily helps you spot AI slop. It's just a new sort of pattern to learn to recognize.
