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.

What's happened to Facebook should make it clear that these platforms don't care what the content is as long as the advertisers will still pay.

That’ll quickly stop when the people stop visiting.

AI doesn’t buy products.

Not just that, but on larger timescales, running out of organic training data.

It's short term thinking all around.

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

That’s modern capitalism for you.

They AI companies are well aware of these issues. They're all scrambling for the fat bags of money before consequences hit.

I watch almost all their videos, this just screamed of click bait and then it was recommended to me over and over and over.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes that's one of their most clickbaity titles ever

[–] bigboismith@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Not as bad as "South Korea is over" imo

[–] cdzero@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 months ago

This is a really good ad.

I'm not so sure people are buying into AI videos. I watch a lot of YouTube shorts in the evenings and immediately downvote and scroll past the AI crap. I don't mind a still here and there to illustrate a point, but the whole video? I'm not half the AI hater most y'all are, but seeing those videos makes me flinch internally. And they always have that fake voice that's the modern equivalent of the transatlantic accent. Fuck me I hate that voice.

But that's just my opinion, right? Funny thing, those videos have really, really low upvotes. I haven't noted a single one that get any traction at all. YouTube may be flooded with AI, but people don't seem to be liking it. OTOH, from the sound of it, that crap is about all my little kids watch. 🤷🏻

I think that most people care enough that media is not entirely made up of AI. Even in the churn of cesspits like tiktok and instagram, where the fools circlejerk to hell, AI is generally not regarded well.

I think people still want people behind the wheel. I speaking out of my ass, but I think that we crave human interaction even when they are parasocial relationships.

Watched a couple minutes which is about my limit but this vid actually looks good. Will try to watch some more of it later.

[–] 46_and_2@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Their videos always look good, but leave me somewhat empty. It's a glossy, polished production on topics you might know enough of the details already, or are better off finding someone more competent and longer-form video/information.

Also this whole video is very clickbait-y. Do finish it, and you'll see how it basically transforms into an ad, while their premise that AI is killing their channel is somewhat paper-thin - they're a pretty famous and high-traffic channel, have their eye-grabbing and unique graphics going for them.

[–] solrize@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

Ah, thanks. You've told me enough to not bother with the rest.

[–] chocrates@piefed.world 1 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I forget the details but iirc they are a corporate shill

[–] Nenutzerbame@feddit.org 10 points 4 months ago

yeah, just put out accusations and false information online with no source whatsoever. This is exactly what they are talking about and you are fueling it.

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 6 points 4 months ago

No idea about that, but I stopped watching them once I realized that, at least for their speculative topics, they just pull things out of their arse and present it with the same definitivity as the actually well-researched parts. Once you notice, it's hard to stop noticing.

I understand that this channel is not the best, but is not the worst also, is a good starting point for normies

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world -3 points 4 months ago

Oh no your bullshit finger-puppet channel needs to improve. Sad for ya :'(
