I don't hate AI, LLMs are incredibly powerful tools that have an incredibly wide range of uses. The technology itself is something that's very exciting and promising.

What I do hate is how they're being used by large corporations. A small handful of big tech companies (Google, Microsoft, Facebook, OpenAI, etc) decided to take this technology and pursue it in the greediest ways possible:

1. They took open source code, built on top of it, and closed it off so they could sell it
2. They scrapped all the data on the internet without consent and used it to train their models
3. They made their models generate stuff based on copyrighted works without permission or giving credit. thus basically stealing the content
4. But that wasn't enough for them so they decided to train their models on every interaction you have with their LLM services, so all your private conversations are stored and recycled even if they're private
5. They use the data from the conversations that you've had with the chatbots to build customer profiles about you that they sell to advertisers so they could send you hoards of personalized ads
6. They started integrating their LLMs into their other products as much as they could so they could artificially increase their stock prices
7. They aggressively campaign for other companies to buy and integrate their models so both parties could artificially increase their stock prices
8. In order to meet their artificially induced demand, they sucking the life out of the electricity grid, which is screwing over everybody else
9. They're also taking over the hardware industry and killing off consumer electronics since its more profitable for manufacturers to sell AI companies than to consumers
10. They're openly bribing, lobbying, and campaigning governments to give them grants, tax breaks, and keep regulations at a minimum so they could do whatever they want and have society pay for the privilege
11. They're using these LLMs to cut as many jobs as possible so they could penny pinch just a little more, hence the massive waves of recent layoffs recently. This is being done even if the LLM replacement is far worse in performance than humans.
12. All of this is being done with zero regard to the environmental damage caused by them with their monstrous data centers and electricity consumption
13. All of this is being done with zero regard to the harmful impacts caused to people and society. These LLMs frequently lie and spread misinformation, they feed into delusions and bad habits of mentally unwell people, and they're causing great damage to schools since students could use these models to easily cheat and nothing can be done about it

When put all of this together, then it's easy to understand why people hate AI. This is what people oppose, and rightfully so. These corporations created a massive bubble and put our economy at risk of a major recession, they're destabilizing our infrastructure, destroying our environment, they're corrupting our government, they're forcing tens of thousands of people into dire financial situations by laying them off, they're eroding our privacy and rights, and they're harming our mental health... and for what? I'll tell you, all of this is done so a few greedy billionaires could squeeze a few more dollars so they could buy their 5th yacht, 9th private jet, or 7th McMansion. Fuck them all.

No one has convinced me how it is good for the general public. It seems like it will benefit corpos and governments, to the detriment of the general public.

It's just another thing they'll use to fuck over the average person.

Ai

• costs jobs
• consumes enormous amounts of energy which makes it bad for the environment and the utility costs
• makes the rich richer
• has still the hallucination problem
• makes generating fake news easier than ever
• uses copyrighted material for training without permission
• is used to fill the internet with AI slop
• is trained by big companies with their own political agenda
• fucks up the RAM/SSD market
• makes people dumber
• isn’t even AI

Why are we asking loaded questions as a first post in a new account?

It's a masterclass in externalities: local communities face the consequences of the resource consumption by the data centers.

Job loss: were all told the "knowledge market" is where you deserve a good salary. AI threatens a lot of that work. Blue collar factory work will go as soon as AI can be properly integrated with nimble robotics that aren't quite there yet. With how disgusting our society is (in the US) there will be no consideration for the people who can no longer find work.

Wealth built on theft and gambling: people like Altman become fabulously wealthy with a system that makes 0 profit and has been built off of the stolen works of millions of people.

Capacity to manipulate: we've had enough trouble with bad faith actors on the Internet with real people. Now we're going to have an endless army of "intelligent" actors that will be weaponized against populations worldwide to secure the position of the ultra wealthy over all of our governments.

I didn't before much, but now I REALLY don't have a positive outlook on our future because of this...

AI is trained on the Internet. Look at the bullshit on the Internet. AI will take some random schmoe's bullshit opinion and present it as hard fact.

That, and it just re-introduced the problem of being able to see search results without visiting any of the resultant websites. The last time, sites ended up burying answers down the page to avoid being able to see results in search previews. Making everything shittier. What kind of response is there going to be to AI summaries? Everything will undoubtedly get even shittier as sites try to get people to visit and not just read the AI summary. Hello even more obfuscation. We're taking the greatest method of spreading information around the globe ever devised and just absolutely filling it to the brim with bullshit.

Have you seen the RAM prices lately? 🫩

Kibler was great.

I don't hate it, but my personal experience has been that it's not reliable enough to depend on. I don't like that it's being pushed on us so hard when it will routinely let us down.

Is that Brian "Please don't call me Brian "Brian Kibler" Kibler" Kibler?

Mostly for all the AI haters who can't stop bringing up their hatred of AI. Insufferable.

I don't hate LLMs I hate how they are being used and what they are being used for. I am not a luddite (even if I jokingly claim to be) and do see value in LLMs for some uses. Just not the ones they are primarily being used for in America

I hate his flannel shirts and the way he'd always show the show's mailing address whenever Tim said something stupid.

Huh… so it’s getting its advice scrape from Reddit. Now it makes sense where it’s getting the idea of telling teens to die by suicide. That place is a shithole where intelligence goes to die.

I don't hate AI, I hate it being forced everyone's throat and I don't trust the companies running it to keep the data they collect safe and private

I don't entirely hate AI.

I like AI for when I want to personally use it for art ideas because I'm not an artist and honestly, paying someone to draw for you can be expensive as it is a luxury. I just don't run anything like a DA account to show it off.

I don't like AI when it has been used to lazily write scripts for movies/shows, to draft essays and be used as a shortcut for someone's work.

I like AI when it can be used as a companion tool.

I don't like AI when it tries being a therapist for serious mental issues.

I don't like AI when it is used as a poor excuse of troubleshooting.

I don't like AI for the damage it is causing to the market of PC memory.

I don't like AI being shoved down my throat and for the companies you least expect it to use it, suddenly start using it.

So with a score of 2-5, if AI was just erased right now, I wouldn't really miss it. But I don't entirely hate it. It is a completely misused and abused kind of tool that's shoved into everyone's lives and marketed as a catch-all solution to nearly all problems, when there is a mountain of evidence and recorded studies saying otherwise.

Haha racism

what the fuck is this stereotype

I don't hate it, I hate how companies are forcing it in regardless of how stupid it is for the task.

I don't. All the anti-intellectual technophobia we're seeing right now will be a small footnote in history.

Depends on what you classify as AI anymore

I work with Video Editing software and you could argue that a lot of features on softwares like Davinci, Capcut, Premiere all use different helpful tools that could or could not be AI, Artificial Intelligence existed long before companies slapped the term into every product. Nowadays even TVs have "AI" processors which is just a fancy way of saying just a CPU.

I do believe it still should be an Open source tool that we can use for good, for example helping fighting against cancer but knowing we live in such a planet it will be used for worse rather than good and it depends on who trains it and for what purpose because we train AI.

I do care about Art like Movies, Books and the Movie industry so far seems to be the only one who fights against AI being used as lazy work, there are possibly Video Games that use AI text to speech for NPCs or something but there are a lot of directors who speak passionatelly against it which is good to see.

At the end of the day it's a tool and it will depend on how we use it. We can use it to do good things, but also drive more people out of jobs and helping with endless wars, I have a feeling the latter will be true but we'll see.
