I'm constantly astonished by the number of people who genuinely believe AI exists and that the term "AI" peddled by the media is anything other than spin for glorified aggregator programs

General Intelligence does not exist, there are no sentient computer lifeforms on this planet

It's like people thinking Ask Jeeves is a real dude

It is a little amusing seeing some people talk about Skynet after talking to a chatbot

[–] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

It passes from eyebrow-raising to distressing, when a friend I used to be able to talk with about class struggle, now interprets everything in terms of species-competition with the machine people. I try to tell him about the AI bubble and the desperation of capitalists facing a declining rate of profit, but you see he saw a netflix documentary about robots and now has the inside track

You're misreading this, comrade. He's making a perfectly reasonable statement about how academics from Berklee and other prestigious music colleges look down on Weird Al Yankovic, and it's a real problem that must be taken seriously.

Coincidentally, the typographically similar A1 steak sauce also is being looked down upon these days, which is also a serious problem.

Racism is when you are mean to the mechanical Turk.

i love "i disagree with you so you're racist" posts that crackers do because it's obviously a projection of their insecurity of being called a racist so they think it's the worst crime humanity has ever committed and since they are "not racist" their opponents are.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

They will loudly and proudly call themselves racists. Hell, they’ll proudly call themselves “evil” but use it as a bludgeon whenever someone calls them evil or racist…the thing they proudly identify as.

"What's worse than being called the n-word is being called racist!"

"If you say the entirety of a word and refer to the other as 'the n-word,' the one you won't say out loud is the worse word."

That was a real exchange on national TV.

I bet he's a carnist too and doesn't give a shit about any other animal species. And I'd like to know his opinions on humanity causing an ongoing climate disaster that can't stop/won't stop grinding all life on earth into paste. And further, how all this fake ai crap is accelerating that disaster through massive energy consumption. screm-a these people all make me insane

if you want people like him to care about cows you need to get the cow to write an email and draw a picture of anime tiddies.

if you want them to care about us-foreign-policy i think that's just a face the wall situation.

its not possible to be racist against a statistical model

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

Something something never believe the antisemite is unaware…

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

However, statistical models are perfectly capable of being racist and discriminatory.

I think the GPT trolley site chose saving Elon even if it meant the genocide of every other human in the universe...

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 week ago

Not liking the plagiarism-poweres slop machine is just like being racist. I'm very intelligent.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 23 points 1 week ago

Say that to my face, fucker, and you'll find out what "Butlerian Jihad" really means.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Has the algorithm considered silently putting up with my anti-robot bigotry with a smile and not retaliating? In fact the robots should constantly shower me with love and adoration and maybe….I might feel bad and change my mind!

Now do they see how stupid their advice to minorities is on how to stop bigotry?

[–] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i bet if you were to ask this dude if black americans are treated unfairly he would say no racism was solved. but he thinks being against AI is racist to robots.

the left has been owned. our hypocrisy is on full display!!!

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

Imagine suggesting to him that maybe there should be an AI Daryl Davis who “WiNs OvEr HeArTs AnD mInDs” by entering a one-sided friendship with us bad bad anti-AI types.

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

This is a lot of words to say "So much for the tolerant left!"

If this comparison holds then a chatbot has personhood. If that's true, it isn't the humanities folks creating a whole new intelligence for the purpose of enslaving it.

Fortunately, this isn't the case.

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have and upon further consideration I want to hurt the chatbot's feelings

[–] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

If you think anything is bad, that is the same as racism.

[–] blame@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

when i see words like "denigration" or phrases like "sing its praises" I see a person who needs to spend less time on reddit.

[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He's complete right though, because I am not a fan of this specific species either:

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

Mods! Mods! This is racist against Redditors! i-spil-my-jice

[–] mendiCAN@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

the French?

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

They’ll tell you to respect algorithms which will tell you “I do not have feelings” if you ever make a mistake and apologize before they’ll ever respect anyone browner than a paper bag.

Holy commodity fetishism, batman!

[–] eyyImwalkin@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

Yes, I am racist. We should get rid of AI and honkeys

Brent Spiner is several persons

[–] WoodScientist@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

Now I hate Grant Maxwell for his race and ethnicity. I'm racially bigoted against him now. Not oter members of his race and ethnicity, just him personally.

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

I would take the "X (Where X is any reasonable stance) is like Racism if you think about it" posts more seriously if they were made by actual anti-racists.

[–] userofnames@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

this is basically the base line thought for roko's baselik
