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.

If you eat my refuse it will make you strong, don't listen to the haters.
If you wont drink the contents of the tray under the beer taps, you just hate beer. Its an infinite mashup of all the best beer ever made.

There are places in the UK that hold competitions organised by the local community/pubs, and this is the forfeit. One got banned. Dont think that the Haxey Hood do it, but its an example of what im on about.
What an odd little game. Very British I suppose.
How is this related to what we’re talking about?
Thats actually a great analogy. Its exactly like mixing up all the colors and expecting a rainbow instead of brown goo.
It was always such a confusing disappointment that vibrant colours inevitably devolved into turd brown. Entropy apparently does not spare our feelings.
LLM, not AI.
Thank you. I make it a very annoying habit to never call these things "AI" and correct others if they do.
wastebin, not dumpster.
Are image generators like midjourney also LLMs?
No
LLMs stand for Large Language Models
They both are generative AI, but that term also includes, as far as i know, vocaloid software too
They are diffusion models with a language model to understand prompts. What all of the have in common is that they are generative AI.
Again, they are not AI. We have not come up with an “AI” yet. What they are, are Machine-Learning, or “ML” models. They are not intelligent.
why should we stop using a term that has been used for at least a decade to refer to things much "dumber" than something like gpt 3.5
Yes
?
really tho, chefs kiss. 🤌👨🍳💋👌
as a fan of mashup culture the first argument is so weird. what makes mashup art interesting is the ability to recognise similarities the constituent parts and the artistry of merging them. ai art is more like a blender. you can make interesting things with the tech but it requires an actual artistic talent as well as careful planning both before and after. pouring in whatever will just net you beige goo.
This. I do appreciate a good collage or remix/electronic music with lots of samples. And they're nothing like AI slop
If you love AI you probably hate art and expression...
If OOP actually loved art and expression, they'd be supporting actual artists making actual art, rather than putting their weight behind the no-effort jungle juice of art AI produces.
