“garbage account”
I hate AI because it’s replacing jobs (a.k.a, salaries) without us having a social safety net to make it painless.
We’ve replaced you with ai
-CEO
Ai replacing most of the jobs, and there isn’t enough open positions to be filled by the now unemployed.
-Ecconomists
I need food stamps, medical care, housing assistantance, and unemployment.
-Me
No! Get a job you lazy welfare queen!
-Politicians
Where? There aren’t any.
Not my problem! Now, excuse me while I funnel more money to my donors.
-The same politicians
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
I don’t hate AI. I just hate the untrustworthy rich fucks who are forcing it down everyones throats.
I don’t hate it, I hate how companies are forcing it in regardless of how stupid it is for the task.
As always, you don’t hate X, you hate capitalism. Replace X with almost anything.
what the fuck is this stereotype
It’s probably from a redditor who probably is white and male. Y’know, self-deprecating humor is pretty common among redditors just like it is here.
Well, it’s from a blue stared twitter user, which is much, much worse.
This isn’t a Twitter screenshot, it’s a Facebook one. Note the globe icon, that means a public post on Facebook. He’s also a niche microcelebrity, so the verification kinda makes sense?
It seems he’s stopped posting on Twitter after 2024, having 70k posts total - so he must’ve quit cold turkey. No blue check on his Twitter profile.
There’s also this tweet from him in 2017. I do not think this man is a nazi, or even nazi-adjacent.
I never said anything about nazis.
I only know blue check marks from twitter. There’s really not much difference between the two though.
…Why is a blue check mark on Twitter bad if not for the fact that paying for it supports a nazi platform? I’m not sure I follow your logic.
The Meta one isn’t paid, it’s just something you’re given if they can verify you’re who you say you are.
Mark Zuckerberg isn’t that much different from Elon Musk as far as politics go.
If you want to be verified, you should just have a personal website that you publicly direct people to. Using someone else’s social media website as your primary soap box has always been madness.
So you would click accept on my self-signed https website? Want some land in Florida?
just feels wrong
like it’s making stereotypes feel normal and creating xenophobia or something
when done humorously, it’s fine, but here it just seems serious
But it is done humorously, is that not an obvious joke?
Maybe not the funniest joke ever, but definitely not something someone’s saying seriously.
Welcome to Lemmy.
I don’t hate AI (specifically LLMs and image diffusion thingy) as a technology. I don’t hate people who use AI (most of the time).
I do hate almost every part of AI business, though. Most of the AI stuff is hyped by the most useless “luminaries” of the tech sector who know a good profitable grift when they see one. They have zero regard for the legal and social and environmental implications of their work. They don’t give a damn about the problems they are causing.
And that’s the great tragedy, really: It’s a whole lot of interesting technology with a lot of great potential applications. And the industry is getting run to the ground by idiots, while chasing an economic bubble that’s going to end disastrously. It’s going to end up with a tech cycle kind of similar to nuclear power: a few prominent disasters, a whole lot of public resentment and backlash, and it’ll take decades until we can start having sensible conversations about it again. If only we would have had a little bit of moderation to begin with!
The only upside AI business has had was that at least it has pretended to give a damn about open source and open access to data, but at this point it’s painfully obvious that to AI companies this is just a smoke screen to avoid getting sued over copyright concerns - they’d lock up everything as proprietary trade secrets if they could have their way.
As a software developer, I was first super excited about genAI stuff because it obviously cut down the time needed to consult references. Now, a lot of tech bosses tell coders to use AI tools even in cases that’s making everyone less productive.
As an artist and a writer I find it incredibly sad that genAI didn’t hit the brakes a few years ago. I’ve been saying this for decades: I love a good computerised bullshit generator. Algorithmically generated nonsense is interesting. Great source of inspiration for your ossified brain cells, fertile grounds for improvement. Now, however, the AI generated stuff pretends to be as human-like as possible, it’s doing a terrible job at it. Tech bros are half-assedly marketing it as a “tool” for artists, while the studio bosses who buy the tech chuckle at that and know they found a replacement for the artists. (Want to make genAI tools for artists? Keep the output patently unusable out of the box.)
The value in LLMs is in the training and the data quality… so it is easy to publish the code and charge for access to the data (DaaS).
I’m hopeful that when the bubble pops it’ll be more like the dot com crash, which is to say that the fallout is mostly of the economic variety rather than the superfund variety. Sure, that’ll still suck in the short term. But it will ideally lead to the big players and VC firms backing away and leaving behind an oversupply of infrastructure and talent that can be soaked up at fire sale prices by the smaller, more responsible companies that are willing to stick out the downturn and do the unglamorous work of developing this technology into something that’s actually sustainable and beneficial to society.
That’s my naive hope. I do recognize that there’s an unfortunately high probability that things won’t go that way.
Haha racism
Where? Since when is self-depreciating humor a bad thing?
Self deprecating humor is great. Racial stereotypes are not. Saying “all Asians are good at math” is also harmful, for example.
Reverse-racism is not a thing.
Why not? Stereotypes are always harmful. How do you think an Asian kid feels when they suck at math but are told that’s not how they should be? How do you think a black kid fees when they don’t have a big dick but are told they should?
I don’t hate AI. However, I:
- Am concerned about the labor displacement it may cause–though I am skeptical it will be as widespread as currently feared. I think many of the companies that have cut workers already will end up regretting it in the medium term.
- Am convinced that the massive, circular investment in this technology has produced an economic bubble that will burst in the coming years. Because we have so little insight into private credit markets, we don’t know to what degree retail and commercial banks will be exposed, and thus can’t anticipate the potential damage to the broader economy.
- Am fatigued (but unsurprised) that the US government is not considering thoughtful regulation that anticipates the disruption that AI is likely to cause.
- Am cognizant of its current limitations.
- Do not currently believe that AGI is imminent or even guaranteed. I think elites peddling this notion may be captured by highly motivated reasoning. In some cases, it seems like a bit of a belief system.

Because it’s everywhere and I’m tired of people trying to make me try it.
The Slop Sketch (with apologies to Monty Python)
Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings with horned helmets on. A man and his wife enter.
Man (Eric Idle): You sit here, dear.
Wife (Graham Chapman in drag): All right.
Man (to Waitress): Morning!
Waitress (Terry Jones, in drag as a bit of a rat-bag): Morning!
Man: Well, what’ve you got?
Waitress: Well, there’s egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and slop; egg bacon and slop; egg bacon sausage and slop; slop bacon sausage and slop; slop egg slop slop bacon and slop; slop sausage slop slop bacon slop tomato and slop;
Vikings (starting to chant): Slop slop slop slop…
Waitress: …slop slop slop egg and slop; slop slop slop slop slop slop baked beans slop slop slop…
Vikings (singing): Lovely slop! Lovely slop!
Waitress: …or Lobster Thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce served in a Provençale manner with shallots and aubergines, garnished with truffle pâté, brandy and a fried egg on top and slop.
Wife: Have you got anything without slop?
Waitress: Well, there’s slop egg sausage and slop, that’s not got much slop in it.
Wife: I don’t want ANY slop!
Man: Why can’t she have egg bacon slop and sausage?
Wife: THAT’S got slop in it!
Man: Hasn’t got as much slop in it as slop egg sausage and slop, has it?
Vikings: Slop slop slop slop (crescendo through next few lines)
Wife: Could you do the egg bacon slop and sausage without the slop then?
Waitress: Urgghh!
Wife: What do you mean ‘Urgghh’? I don’t like slop!
Vikings: Lovely slop! Wonderful slop!
Waitress: Shut up!
Vikings: Lovely slop! Wonderful slop!
Waitress: Shut up! (Vikings stop) Bloody Vikings! You can’t have egg bacon slop and sausage without the slop.
Wife (shrieks): I don’t like slop!
Man: Sshh, dear, don’t cause a fuss. I’ll have your slop. I love it. I’m having slop slop slop slop slop slop slop baked beans slop slop slop and slop!
Vikings (singing): Slop slop slop slop. Lovely slop! Wonderful slop!
Waitress: Shut up!! Baked beans are off.
Man: Well could I have her slop instead of the baked beans then?
Waitress: You mean slop slop slop slop slop slop… (but it is too late and the Vikings drown her words)
Vikings: (singing elaborately) Slop slop slop slop. Lovely slop! Wonderful slop! Slop slo-o-o-o-o-op slop slo-o-o-o-o-op slop. Lovely slop! Lovely slop! Lovely slop! Lovely slop! Lovely slop! Slop, slop, slop, SLOOOOOOOOOOOP!
I’m still waiting for it to appear and then lets ask them how they like it. Its not like the garbage we have now is really AI.
Anything the billionaire cabal pushes on us I automatically hate. Don’t even need to know what it is. If they are pushing it you know there is some nefarious shit under the hood.
AI is only looks good if you’re an outsider to the profession. The moment you’re even an amateur, you’ll see all of its faults. It’s just a plagiarizing machine with a built-in contextual search function (any AI model that runs as an actual contextual search instead of a wannabe assistant with a flattering personality?), that can make some crappy looking and weirdly specific clip art, stock music with funny-sounding gimmicks, and buggy code you’d better plagiarize from public domain licensed code from Github.
my take on the problems of AI from what i can remember:
- Destroying the environment/Draining water(is that only chatgpt?) faster
- Increasing ram prices
- costs Jobs
- Training On everything without respecting the original license/creators
- does not respect robots.txt
- sometimes not reliable source of information
- destroying creativity/oversaturating the market
- its not that reliable to replace as your assistant due to hallucination so its better to research the answers the AI gives you.(i hate how sometimes i feel like its easier,safer,less ethical and faster to ask AI then to look up the answer or maybe thats just me)
- Censoring Topics (is that only palestine genocide topics and is that also only chatgpt?)
ofc am not stopping anyone from using AI,but the ethics is the elephant in the room with AI as listed.
sometimes not reliable source of information
Let me fix that!
usually not reliable source of information
It’s just good enough for some shallow searches, especially with Google and internet search in general being poisoned with SEOed garbage floating to the top, which nowadays is SEOed and AI generated slop. I often have to go to sites that are old enough to be sure they’re not AI generated, or are vetted that they’re not made by some AI bro, as a side hustle towards their first million. One Linux article I no longer able to find made a Linux installation of mine borked, had to reinstall my Raspberry Pi, and the then new installer really didn’t want me to let set a different region and language at first, so I had to switch back to English after finishing the setup.
I don’t hate it, just how it’s being used.
Then again, proper use of AI, if even achievable would most likely result in disaster in some way.
The way “AI” is marketed today isn’t real AI, it’s just a lazy source copy-pasting bot made for our convenience.
