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.

At this point, you can't blame the AI. Cant the human at least get a second opinion before eating something new? Even a second AI chat not could have possible stopped this from happening.
The Probabilistic Text Extruder just does its thing which is to generate text based on whatever text given to it as input and the text it has generated so far, all based on an N-dimensional space of probability gradients it has compiled during training from billions of pieces of text.
It has as much blame for people treating its output as the product of thinking as a steel press has when it crushes the hand of somebody who left their hand there and pressed the button - none at at because it's just a mechanism doing its thing.
Now the people who made the Probabilistic Text Extruder as is without any safety features against misuse and even spread the notion that the Probabilistic Text Extruder is actually a thinking device do have the blame, all of the blame, same as somebody who made a steel press and claimed it was a "hand cleaning device" would have for subsequent crushed hands.
You can blame the people selling the AI.
