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.

Given the inherently simplistic nature of a community called 'fuck ai', I assume what I'm saying will be unpopular, but there's always some people genuinely open to reason and rational discussion.
How "rational" is it to come into a community called, literally, "Fuck AI" and expect pro-AI messaging to be desired and engaged with?
Is "rational" now a synonym for its opposite, like how "literally" now means both itself and "figuratively"?
They said rational. Not pro-AI. And I mean why not? This is a community dedicated to talking about AI, so you could expect people having a basic understanding of what they're talking about. This could also be a community dedicated to blind hate. I'm not sure. But what I'm sure about is, there are some people with some level of insight, maybe even from the field or who have this as a hobby, who say "fuck AI" for the impact on society and climate it has, or for it being used against the people in some way or another... So yeah. I'm opposed to the blind hate. I'd rather hate it for the facts. And that's the reason I also advocate for "rational".
Which part of "Fuck AI" was unclear? There's only two words there (well, a word and an initialization if you want to get picky). Which one of those was unclear?
There's a difference between understanding how nuclear weapons work and opposing them because of their consequences, and sticking your head in the sand and insisting that nuclear weapons couldn't possibly work.
I suggest you grow the fuck up.
The "AI" part seems to be unclear to some people. That's why we're having this argument. And I think I have a rough understanding, but the "fuck" part is unclear to me, because I have nuance when I f***... There are different ways of doing it, not just one. So I'd say it's both words.
