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.

Neighbourhood association used AI to split bills (lemmy.world)

First of all I don't live in a neighbourhood with something equivalent of a HOA, but we do have an organisational unit that involves the group of 6 homes where I live in.

We had a meeting regarding the repair of a shared drain pipe following an inspection we had earlier this year, the camera inspection had a cost of €120 that was equally divided among 6 households, so €20 each, nice and easy.

After getting the quote for the repairs, one of our neighbours asked chatgpt to split the bill, €1500 divided by 6.

edit: paraphrasing, he proudly said "I asked chatgpt and 1500/6 is 250”

Do you really need to ask an LLM to divide two numbers? something the cheapest calculator can do instantly, or better yet, something you can easily do I your head?

Honestly. It feels like some people have become so dependent on LLMs that they'll ask them to solve the even most basic of questions.

Our bodies evolved on a "use it or lose it" basis, and like every other muscle in our bodies, the brain is not immune to this...

If you let your brain sit idle while passing on such simple tasks to AI, the neuronal pathways for these tasks will weaken to the point you'll have to relearn them from scratch.

These AI companies want this to happen. They want more and more people to become dependent, so that once they decide to rug pull you with the true cost, you'll have no choice but to pay up because you can't cope without it. This is true not just for humans but even entire industries as a whole, who have very keenly taken to replacing humans with it.

Synaptic pruning

I believe this is what you're insinuating. The kids will grow up incapable of learning anything, and then we will die out.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Pruning is influenced by environmental factors. For instance, if the eyes are sewn shut in the critical period when synaptic pruning of the retina takes place, the lack of input of light will cause the synaptic connections required for vision to die off, resulting in blindness.[1][10]

That's some Nazi level experimental torture shit

There's a good chance that's where the experimental data came from in the first place.

and then we will die out

So there is an upside?

I suppose so, though only the morons who use ChatGPT for everything will live to see it, under this theory.
