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.

It's bad for the environment, now uses half of all energy produced globally in just a few years.
It's bad for society, automating labor without guaranteeing human needs is really really fucked up and basically kills unlucky people for no good reason.
It's bad for productivity, it is confidently wrong just as often as it is right, the quality of the work is always sub par, it always requires a real person to baby it.
It's bad for human development. We created a machine we can ask anything so we never have to think, but the machine is dumber than anyone using it so it just makes us all brain dead.
It's complete and not getting better. The tech can not get better than it is now unless we create a totally different algorithmic approach and start from scratch again.
It's an artificial hype bubble that distracts us from real solutions to real problems in the world.
Yes, this should be noticed or even emphasized.
