"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

So is this just a meme or is there an actual bill? Something tells me that if a law like this were passed, it would outlaw things like AI assisted protein folding.
The fact that it's focusing on law, psychology, and medicine implies an understanding of how vital AI is in things like hurricane forecasting it wants to exclude but still target other things they can throw under the bus in a bid to get re-elected. But AI is vital in so much that it will be difficult, if not impossible, for technologically illiterate law makers to effectively legislate against poor use of AI.
Protein folding uses machine learning, not AI / LLM
You think law makers know enough to write legislation that takes that into account? Considering how destructive all the online safety acts are, they don't even know how the Internet works.
I think its enough of a distinction without additional legislation.
I don't think you understand what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that law makers will write a law that makes it illegal to use AI and fail to define what they mean by AI. AI includes everything from A* pathfinding in games to machine learning to LLMs. What everyone here in FuckAI hates is LLMs.
Hell, I don't even think you and I are qualified enough to write laws about this stuff. I'm pushing the envelope of my knowledge here and I've built AI for games. I doubt law makers who think this shit is magical are qualified to do it.
Not just a meme it's probably propaganda
