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.

The only people who think AI will ‘lower a workload’ or be helpful, are the people who don’t do any of that work in the first place.
AI has become just another bullshit buzzword for management idiots to dick around with to make it look like they’re actually doing something.
From my experience, whenever someone says they used AI to do a task, it means I need to check their work twice to unfuck it. So AI effectively ends up creating more work, not less.
Well I’m convinced. My VC firm, DipshitTechbros, LLC will invest eleventy quazillion dollars in whatever you got.
You know the really sad part? If your pitch was "it makes people work harder and less efficiently... but with AI," you would probably find some interested VCs.
I do think it has potential to reduce workload in specific jobs. E.g. in stuff like recognizing patterns in input data for data analysts. But only to a small degree and defintly not at every job.
But any company that actually uses chatgpt itself must be crazy or really not have a problem with data breaches.
