"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 Facial Recognition Is Denying Food To Pregnant Women Across India (www.boomlive.in)

India’s 50-year-old welfare programme now uses AI to decide who gets food. Across Anganwadi centres, pregnant women and new mothers must pass a facial recognition scan before receiving rations.

Christ, can you imagine being denied food because you’re tired from taking care of an infant? Or because you gained/lost weight over the course of a pregnancy or illness? Or, because it’s AI, for no reason at all. I’d go insane.

It certainly doesn't help that AI has a lot of problems identifying PoC.

I miss that show so much.

And here I’m wondering for a while now, how the hell do you explain the dangers of AI/facial recognition/big tech surveillance to people who don’t take it serious yet?

Problem solved I guess.

Using AI to illustrate the problem does not help the cause.
