I don’t mean to be cutting towards AI b— oh wait! Of course I’m trying to cut AI up! Ha
Also, to be clear: when I say AI doesn’t listen, I mean it doesn’t listen to your instructions. Not that it’s not secretly listening through your phone and gathering data it shouldn’t be.
Welcome to the Official Haters of AI Club! Here, you can rant and rave about how much you hate Artificial Intelligence (AI) as much as you like. Because let’s be honest: we all need an opportunity to do so. Even the most ardent users of AI will inevitably get fed up of it. So welcome, and enjoy.
Rules:
The only rule I ask is that you obey Lemmy’s fundamental rules (I.e. no racism, no porn, etc.)
AI generated content (e.g. photos, videos, text, etc.) is allowed, but only for critiques. If the Ai generated content is explicit or inappropriate, do not post it!!! Instead, you may describe it in modest detail.
Requests:
I am completely easy: I would ask that you keep posts here relevant to the topic at hand (I.e. deriding AI) but I’m not strict about it.
Memes are strongly encouraged!!! (Who doesn’t love a meme against AI?)
Help us grow:

I agree. Civilisation is fucked up. But AI is a product of civilisation and has undoubtedly inherited the worst of us. If that’s not reason to be against it, IDK what is.
I mean that's kind of like the same as saying books are the worst of us.
Books aren't inherently good. Nothing's is really simply good. You can distill almost every debate down to good vs evil and find that both are a core part of everything. And the struggle of dealing with that and understanding it is exactly what authentic spirituality/religion was created for... But shit... Even religion got industrialized and fucked up.
The human experience and existential crisis that it basically is is what religion was made for to quell. But no one practices it authentically, so now drama just builds exponentially with no release.
A book can be written with bad intentions (Mein Kampf anyone?) as can movies (see Birth of a Nation among others) and just about any other human invention. My point is: what we humans make, we make with a purpose regardless if other’s see it. We naturally imbibe our inventions with intentions. That’s not to say every single book is written with bad intentions, or every single aspect of AI is bad; the problem with AI is it’s much broader than something that can be reduced to a simple concept as comparable to if all books are bad or not.
