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.

This is such a weird take.
All of us use technology to make our lives easier, to supplement skills we don't want to sink perfectionist-level time into, to enjoy "good enough" results in one area or another.
This kind of holier-than-thou hyperbolic snobbery does nothing to generate actual thoughtful reflection of where to draw the line with technology dependence and only distracts and detracts from actually good critiques of generative AI's ethics and other negative effects. I wish this sub didn't allow low-effort meme posts because it's such a brain rot circle-jerk.
No, it doesn't. You just want to be able to pick from your buffet of cake flavors without it being morally complicated. Gen AI is demon technology made by demons, and those demons deserve mockery and ridicule. It should be impolite to be this anti-social.
You want to get mad at how capitalist distort inventions into profit machines that continue to enshitify our lives so they can enrich themselves at the expense of others. Go right ahead but acting like a tool that is helpful in summarization and translation is some terrible plight on humanity is just simply put complete brain rot.
You know people who use google translate to "speak spanish" are made fun of? It can't translate puns. I cannot imagine using this for any serious translation work.
I said serious translation work. What, are you translating the german memes on ich eil?
No, I don't converse with demons. A machine speaking falsehoods and lies in my holy tongue? Disgusting.

That's a good one, mate. I'll have to remember that.
