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.

Generative AI is a meaningless buzzword for the same underlying technology, as I kinda ranted on below.
Corporate enshittification is what's demonic. When you say fuck AI, you should really mean "fuck Sam Altman"
I mean, not really? Maybe they're both deep learning neural architectures, but one has been trained on an entire internetful of stolen creative content and the other has been trained on ethically sourced medical data. That's a pretty significant difference.
I think DLSS/FSR/XeSS is a good example of something that is clearly ethical and also clearly generative AI. Can't really think of many others lol
What? An AI that can "detect repirstory ilnesses in xrays and MRI scans" is not generative. It does not generate anything. It's a discriminative AI. Sure, the theories behind these technologies have many things is common - but I wouldn't call them "the same underlying technology".
It is litterally the exact same technology. If i wanted to i could turn our xray product into a image generator in less than a day.
Because they are both computers and you can install different (GPU-bound) software on them?
It's true that generative AI is uses discriminative models behind the scenes, but the layer needed on top of that is enough to classify it as a different technology.
No, I mean fuck AI. You can be included in that, if you insist.
