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.

AI has killed cat videos and I find that upsetting.

Cut the heart right out of the Internet.

We were just discussing it last night. Neither my partner nor I even click on them any more because there’s no fun in a fake cat video.

I am curious to see if the general angst and anger level of everyone starts going up due to lack of cat video balm between terrible headlines and current events discussions.

Is AI interference in and destruction of cat videos the catalyst to revolution?

I know it's silly, but I think the 24/7 catharsis and propaganda machine that everyone carries around with them all the time is probably a big part of why shit is going the way it is and anything that makes people put it down is probably ultimately a good thing.

The ML imagegen bots fucked with cats >:(

Time to cut out the middleman and just adopt some cats!

A good essay, but I find it ironic that the author used "finding a recipe" as an example of the old web working well when recipe blogs are frequently the top example cited when someone is talking about SEO slop in the pre-AI web.

[–] neclimdul@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I guess sort of.

I always saw them as cited as ad ridden and the complexity of recipe copyright (you can copyright a story but not a recipe).

But I guess there's a convergence in that the Google ad ecosystem relied on SEO nonsense and the quality varied pretty widely so some sites where just aggregated bad recipes optimised to get ad views.

There where enough real sites and the bad ones where easy enough to sniff out that it seemed a reasonable compromise at the time.

Well we always told it to 'eat shit' soo...
