"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.

Not just the women.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 21 points 5 hours ago

That's because their girlfriends are actually AI, not Women.

[–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 86 points 9 hours ago (4 children)

This seems pointlessly gendered. Lazy rabebait.

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 7 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Not wrong, but the original essay this post is picking quotes from was a good read: https://www.wired.com/story/meet-the-sad-wives-of-ai/

[–] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

Rabies?!

[–] protist@retrofed.com 18 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think it's pointlessly gendered at all (but it's definitely a stub of an article that should be much longer). That men are more likely to derive meaning from their job is 100% true, as is the fact that male-dominated industries have borne the brunt of recent layoffs, and those most affected are less likely to have the skills to adapt. All of this together absolutely puts a subset of men at higher risk of mental health issues, which makes them more vulnerable to getting caught up in fictions like those offered by AI

Oh shit, I hadn't even thought of that. That is a god damn recipe for disaster.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 8 points 8 hours ago

If it convinces some people to not shove AI into other people's faces, not bad. Even if it only targets straight men.

That is one dumb title. Not reading that.

I have some mixed feelings about Futurism. They compile a lot of news from trendy tech world, but they are also spammy and clickbaity.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 32 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Hey, this man, and plenty of others, is also disgusted with AI!

[–] RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 25 points 10 hours ago

I am also disgusted by LLM/AI.

For me, it's mostly the deepfakes, the environmental impact, and the reduction in cognitive ability from frequent LLM/AI usage.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 13 points 9 hours ago

The only person I've spoken to in person who had any enthusiasm about AI was a woman.

[+] Miller@lemmy.world -40 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

The insidious nature of AI is that it meets our needs and at this early stage and for obvious reasons that might be more the case for men. Given that premise it could incidentally rob women of a superpower.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

This reveals a fundamental truth about you - you do not think of women as human. They're easily interchangeable with a mindless sycophantic chatbot because that's all you want. You don't want a real person that will disagree with you or say "no", you want a slave that doesn't give you back talk and is always ready to praise you and is never too tired to chat and can't be bored.

Enjoy AI psychosis, assuming you aren't already there.

[–] Miller@lemmy.world 1 points 44 minutes ago (1 children)

This is pure prejudice, this is you and the group here downvoting me, constructing stories against me in your heads founded on next to no evidence and then directing hatred towards me based upon it. If this was the real world and a place remote from justice talk would start to turn to physical crowd retribution against me. Eventually when you decide it is warranted maybe burning, maybe lynching and all while you congratulate yourselves on how you champion free speech and safety of the individual from persecution.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 2 points 19 minutes ago* (last edited 16 minutes ago)

Oh no not your internet points!!!

lol holy shit get over yourself, being downvoted isn't the equivalent to being fucking murdered. You are not a victim, you merely said something people didn't like and they expressed disagreement. Happens to me all the time! If you spent more time talking to real people and less time talking to mindless sycophantic chatbots, maybe you'd be able to cope with push-back.

Instead, you construct stories against people who disagree with you, painting us as bloodthirsty monsters. It's sad.

That's what chatbots do to people. They infantilize their users, to the point that you can't handle disagreement or conflict. You only want a smooth social experience where no one disagrees with you and you can say anything you want and no one can get mad at you. That's why you think chatbots can replace human companionship, because they tell you you're smart and soo special and that all of your ideas are amazing and they would never ever do something as heinous as downvote your wonderful posts. 🙄

btw I didn't even downvote you - why would I bother?

[–] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago

Which needs, psychosis, or sycophancy?

[–] wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world 33 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

What superpower are you talking about? Don't be shy, please. Spell it out for us 'females.'

[+] Miller@lemmy.world -15 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

Well possibly not comprehension, in my defence I would say I was referencing the world as it is not as we might wish it to be. I know that is balked at but it is a useful exercise sometimes as it is the place we live. This is not the right platform for such back-and-forthing though as any alternative points of view are heavily downvoted in the name of free speech by people who smell slightly of boats.

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 2 points 10 minutes ago

If you’re not willing to explain it’s because you know your hot take is shit and you’re too weak and insecure to handle a challenge

[–] wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Just to be clear, I did not downvote you, because you made your point intentionally vague, and even though I believe it to be the typical incel-bullshit it sounds like, I asked you to clarify on the off chance that I'm wrong.

So please explain. You say you reference the 'world as it is' and in this hypothetical world, women have a superpower, right? Which superpower were you talking about, and how would AI take it away?

[+] Miller@lemmy.world -11 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You reference incels in the way some men reference women.

[–] wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world 14 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Being a misogynist is a choice. Being a woman isn't.

But keep pretending it's the same thing, just as an incel would.

Edit: and please don't come back with the "being involuntarily celibate is not a choice," because we both (and everyone else besides) know very well that self-proclaimed incels are something else entirely.

And if you would please answer the question I asked twice already: Which superpower were you talking about and how would AI take it away?

[+] Miller@lemmy.world -13 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I did not know it was acceptable to be prejudiced against a group if inclusion within that group was voluntary. So by your logic you condone prejudice against the Black Panther Party and Greenpeace.

[–] wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Still not answering my question, are you? I'm not playing this game. You keep derailing to avoid answering. It's cowardly. And very, very obvious. I prefer to spend my time on other things.

Have a nice day, I guess.

[–] Bo7a@piefed.ca 15 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Downvotes don't impact your ability to explain the reasoning behind your questionable claim. Don't be a coward.
