Fuck AI

My wife just hit similar, Google AI result invented a dish that didn't actually exist for a local restaurant. She was half ready to go until she went to the actual menu and figured out the described food didn't exist.

My brother in Christ, they're giving running away for free out on the sidewalk.

Your not wromg. The investors class want ai because that is what they belive will be the future. If the ceos don't add then the investors pull out. Even when most feedback is negative, even woth ai companies saying they don't have a path to profitability

I'm in tech, and yeah, while we actually do have a couple helpful (nothing revolutionary, just smoothes over some of the drudge work) use cases for Gen AI, we identified those use cases pretty quick and leadership's been grasping for more ever since.

I was sitting in a meeting yesterday that basically was exactly this.

So yes. very much.

This is hardly the first, and definitely not the last corporate fad. We should have just about finished moving everything to the block chain by now.

It's almost as if CEOs are just regular schmucks that fall prey to BS advertising.

Because the places that already had AI before the recent surge just called it something else.

Was at a whisky&rum fair a couple weeks ago. A bunch of brands had very AI looking designs on the bottles.

And that included Bottles of whisky that cost 200+ bucks.

I mean, who doesn't associate the name "whisky" with "woman in spacesuit tentacle porn" and "sexy woman santa"?

Exactly, except the company is Facebook fucking up the advertisements.

If you use an ad blocker, there are filters for ai slop such as https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist

?

Didn’t zuck say recently that he’s gonna make ai friends for people bc most people want like 15 friends and only have like 2? So I’m assuming he’s just training the ais to make them more human sounding so that he can sell people friendship subscriptions

They've been faking their userbase numbers for ages now. They don't care about actual user engagement.

How are they supposed to fire us all if no ai?

No. Not everyone hates AI. I hate the douche shit and I'm tired of being asked how AI fits into my products. But literally everyone I know uses chatgpt for work.

The budget reconciliation bill has a line in it that will make regulating AI illegal for a decade. Presumably this will mean that if they cram AI into a product it gives it magical protection.

We have invested in this!

So sick of this environment killer software being crammed down everyone's throats because the sunken cost is too great (and political nastiness).

You are not interrupting the market, just the customer base.

They "have" to put them to use, or they can't justify all the money they spent developing them. And they've realized that most people aren't interested, so they're starting to force it on people.
