It's extremely wasteful. Inefficient to the extreme on both electricity and water. It's being used by capitalists like a scythe. Reaping millions of jobs with no support or backup plan for its victims. Just a fuck you and a quip about bootstraps.

It's cheapening all creative endeavors. Why pay a skilled artist when your shitbot can excrete some slop?

What's not to hate?

It's actually a useful tool..... If it were not too often used for so very dystopian purposes.

But it's not just AI. All services, systems, etc... So many are just money grabs, hate, opinion making or general manipulation.... I have many things I hate more about "modern" society, than I do as to how LLMs are used.

I like the lemmy mindset far more than reddit and only on the AI topic people here are brainlessly focused on the tool instead of the people using the tool.

...and Facebook.

I hardly remember Facebook.... Isn't that these days a retirement platform?

[–] NoodlePoint@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

A platform for people in developing countries, however. In some cases it supplants most if not all of the functions of what used to be several programs for Internet access and communication.

I mentioned Facebook because I'm seeing some people trying to share information how to grift with AI.

I hate and like the fact that AI can't actually think for itself.

It really should be called Anthologized Information

N'telligence

It's corporate controlled, it's a way to manipulate our perception, it's all appearance no substance, it's an excuse to hide incompetence under an algorithm, it's cloud service orientated, it's output is highly unreliable yet hard to argue against to the uninformed. Seems about right.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 15 points 1 day ago

And it will not be argued with. No appeal, no change of heart. Which is why anyone using it to mod or as cs needs to be set on fire.

We hate it because it's not what the marketing says it is. It's a product that the rich are selling to remove the masses from the labor force, only to benefit the rich. It literally has no other productive use for society aside from this one thing.

You missed the high energy consumption and low reliability. They're equally as valid issues as stealing jobs.

It literally has no other productive use for society aside from this one thing.

I'd refrain from saying that AI replacing labor is productve to society. Speeding up education, however, might be.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

I wasn't saying labor replacement was a good thing. You misread that.
