AI Slop Eaters need to know their bullshit is unacceptable, Fuck AI.

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

In your opinion, how should AI be handled now that it is out of the box?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Heavily regulated on the data it is trained on, respectful of copyright laws, with caps on electricity cost, and also explicitly banned for use in customer service, finances, infrastructure, engineering, research, medicine, legal practice, and sales. That also extends to programmers who work for those industries.

Basically, anybody trying to turn a profit from such a shitty non-product should fuck off. I also reserve the right to tell AI Sloppers to fuck off in other contexts, because it has no use case.

But, to be clear, I am referring to LLMs and Generative AI who create statistical models of language, and similar AI made to operate equipment after training on footage, not other learning algorithms used to make statistical models of things like which drug has an attachment point or which mice have cancer.

Move over gamers, AI shills are the most discriminated group now!

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 51 points 2 days ago (11 children)

It's wild that OP would think these two things are equivalent.

Pronouns are a thing that harms nobody, and the people frothing at the mouth are going out of their way to hurt people who did nothing wrong.

AI (in its most common meaning at this time in pop culture) at the minimum is wasting electricity (and it's associated climate impact), and has the potential to totally decimate the job market and usher in an era of inequality that we haven't seen for hundreds of years, while simultaneously stealing from artists. The people frothing at the mouth aren't hurting anyone.

To use a bit of hyperbole, it's kinda like if you said:

Some of y'all see "white power" and freak out without processing anything that's being said, like a conservative who sees a mixed race couple.

Like pretty clearly people have a good reason for freaking out when they see that, and the other side of the equation are just bad people.

I don't think OP thinks they are actually equivalent though, it's just a satirical comparison.

Another comparison could be vegans. Environmental impact of meat consumption is huge and it also has the more obvious harm and ethical issues.

Vegans get a lot of shit anyway, but imagine if every comment or post about meat, regardless of where it was or in what context got a barrage of abrasive comments from vegans?

You will never convince someone of your cause if you're a dick to them. It's a huge internet trait to just go full meltdown at everything rather than talk with some you don't agree with to aim for a better outcome.

I get that, and the vegan comparison is good. But I get why vegans act like that, even if I don't share their opinion.
In both of these cases you're arguably pushing for a better world.

But the difference is that veganism is changing the status quo and isn't popular, while opposing AI is maintaining the status quo and is popular.

You're never going to convince a true believer even if you're kind to them, so there is no point being kind. A mean message to an AI supporter isn't actually to the AI supporter, it's to their audience, establishing a zeitgeist.

AI is bad, and if we let up the vocal opposition, that'll make its way into more popular forums and we'll lose the zeitgeist, and policymakers will notice it, and then we'll start losing shit like workers rights.

Let's cook the fucking planet so we can generate stupid images we're too lazy to photoshop! What's not to like? More fossil fueled plagiarized bullshit so I don't have to think please!

Edit: Looks like I struck a nerve with some people who are, similarly to "AI", confidently incorrect about a few things. I'm not even saying LLM can't be used for good, it has, but I am saying that it is being used for a lot of bad shit and it's being powered by a lot of bad shit on top of that.

Think about that before you start hyping "AI" and attacking anyone who criticizes it because there's some valid criticisms that are very dangerous to ignore.

ITT: exactly what the tweet was about. (Edit: It was a tumblr post.)

Y'all just saw "AI" and started frothing at the mouth about LLMs when, in the context of the tweet, it might just as well have referred to path finding AI in a video game.

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

But tbf 'AI' in current public discourse and pop culture is (annoyingly) used synonymously with 'LLM' more often than not

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

you could be talking about video game AI... but are you?

If I'm seeing the word "AI" outside of academic research or shitposting, it's almost certainly coming from a Techbro or techbro simp.

I will stop freaking out when they will stop trying to shove it down my throat all the time

I will stop freaking out when naive techbro men stop the ecological mass murder and environmental destruction that they supposedly NEED to do to sustain their shitty knockoff of a religion/cult.

Pretty insulting comparison, tbh.

Pronouns: Expanding language to communicate the humanity of other people.

AI: Distilling language to package human communication as a sellable product.

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 1 points 21 hours ago

It is supposed to be insulting, to make you think about it.

Like it shows your definition of AI is lacking. Nothing about AI says it needs to be able to be sold. That is the Capitalist take on it. Because they want to sell everything.

AI (or LLM as you describe it) is nothing more than computer generated text. It says nothing about how it should be generated or what is should be used for.

In that context, if your mind immediately goes to slop when AI is mentioned, then you are no different than the ones who start fuming when pronouns are mentioned.

It has been my experience that things go the other way around. Usually people read the text (or programming script), see that it's nonsense and ask, "Is this fucking AI? Cause I really hope no one is actually this stupid."

And then they get annoyed that someone is cooking the planet using AI instead of their brain.
