I don’t hate AI (specifically LLMs and image diffusion thingy) as a technology. I don’t hate people who use AI (most of the time).
I do hate almost every part of AI business, though. Most of the AI stuff is hyped by the most useless “luminaries” of the tech sector who know a good profitable grift when they see one. They have zero regard for the legal and social and environmental implications of their work. They don’t give a damn about the problems they are causing.
And that’s the great tragedy, really: It’s a whole lot of interesting technology with a lot of great potential applications. And the industry is getting run to the ground by idiots, while chasing an economic bubble that’s going to end disastrously. It’s going to end up with a tech cycle kind of similar to nuclear power: a few prominent disasters, a whole lot of public resentment and backlash, and it’ll take decades until we can start having sensible conversations about it again. If only we would have had a little bit of moderation to begin with!
The only upside AI business has had was that at least it has pretended to give a damn about open source and open access to data, but at this point it’s painfully obvious that to AI companies this is just a smoke screen to avoid getting sued over copyright concerns - they’d lock up everything as proprietary trade secrets if they could have their way.
As a software developer, I was first super excited about genAI stuff because it obviously cut down the time needed to consult references. Now, a lot of tech bosses tell coders to use AI tools even in cases that’s making everyone less productive.
As an artist and a writer I find it incredibly sad that genAI didn’t hit the brakes a few years ago. I’ve been saying this for decades: I love a good computerised bullshit generator. Algorithmically generated nonsense is interesting. Great source of inspiration for your ossified brain cells, fertile grounds for improvement. Now, however, the AI generated stuff pretends to be as human-like as possible, it’s doing a terrible job at it. Tech bros are half-assedly marketing it as a “tool” for artists, while the studio bosses who buy the tech chuckle at that and know they found a replacement for the artists. (Want to make genAI tools for artists? Keep the output patently unusable out of the box.)

I’m hopeful that when the bubble pops it’ll be more like the dot com crash, which is to say that the fallout is mostly of the economic variety rather than the superfund variety. Sure, that’ll still suck in the short term. But it will ideally lead to the big players and VC firms backing away and leaving behind an oversupply of infrastructure and talent that can be soaked up at fire sale prices by the smaller, more responsible companies that are willing to stick out the downturn and do the unglamorous work of developing this technology into something that’s actually sustainable and beneficial to society.
That’s my naive hope. I do recognize that there’s an unfortunately high probability that things won’t go that way.
VirtuePacket@lemmy.zip 4 hours ago
I don’t hate AI. However, I:
- Am concerned about the labor displacement it may cause–though I am skeptical it will be as widespread as currently feared.
- Am convinced that the massive, circular investment in this technology has produced an economic bubble that will burst in the coming years. Because we have so little insight into private credit markets, we don’t know to what degree retail and commercial banks will be exposed, and thus can’t anticipate the potential damage to the broader economy.
- Am fatigued (but unsurprised) that the US government is not considering thoughtful regulation that anticipates the disruption that AI is likely to cause.
- Am cognizant of its current limitations.
- Do not currently believe that AGI is imminent or even guaranteed. I think elites peddling this notion may be captured by highly motivated reasoning. In some cases, it seems like a bit of a belief system.

Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Also not a tech person, but I am an artist. I used to consider going into digital art, but now I’m grateful I didn’t and instead have honed … I guess you can call it “manual” art? As a way to say things I make with my hands? Maybe “analog” or “traditional” art?
Point is, I haven’t seen an AI create a pencil drawing or an acrylic painting. I get the feeling that as people tire of AI generated images, they may find renewed interest in these distinctly human-made art forms. I suppose we’ll have to wait and see. For now, AI may try to steal forms and ideas, but picking up a pencil or a paintbrush and creating something on a canvas are still out of its reach (thank goodness.)

I don’t hate AI, LLMs are incredibly powerful tools that have an incredibly wide range of uses. The technology itself is something that’s very exciting and promising.
What I do hate is how they’re being used by large corporations. A small handful of big tech companies (Google, Microsoft, Facebook, OpenAI, etc) decided to take this technology and pursue it in the greediest ways possible:
- They took open source code, built on top of it, and closed it off so they could sell it
- They scrapped all the data on the internet without consent and used it to train their models
- They made their models generate stuff based on copyrighted works without permission or giving credit. thus basically stealing the content
- But that wasn’t enough for them so they decided to train their models on every interaction you have with their LLM services, so all your private conversations are stored and recycled even if they’re private
- They use the data from the conversations that you’ve had with the chatbots to build customer profiles about you that they sell to advertisers so they could send you hoards of personalized ads
- They started integrating their LLMs into their other products as much as they could so they could artificially increase their stock prices
- They aggressively campaign for other companies to buy and integrate their models so both parties could artificially increase their stock prices
- In order to meet their artificially induced demand, they sucking the life out of the electricity grid, which is screwing over everybody else
- They’re also taking over the hardware industry and killing off consumer electronics since its more profitable for manufacturers to sell AI companies than to consumers
- They’re openly bribing, lobbying, and campaigning governments to give them grants, tax breaks, and keep regulations at a minimum so they could do whatever they want and have society pay for the privilege
- They’re using these LLMs to cut as many jobs as possible so they could penny pinch just a little more, hence the massive waves of recent layoffs recently. This is being done even if the LLM replacement is far worse in performance than humans.
- All of this is being done with zero regard to the environmental damage caused by them with their monstrous data centers and electricity consumption
- All of this is being done with zero regard to the harmful impacts caused to people and society. These LLMs frequently lie and spread misinformation, they feed into delusions and bad habits of mentally unwell people, and they’re causing great damage to schools since students could use these models to easily cheat and nothing can be done about it
When put all of this together, then it’s easy to understand why people hate AI. This is what people oppose, and rightfully so. These corporations created a massive bubble and put our economy at risk of a major recession, they’re destabilizing our infrastructure, destroying our environment, they’re corrupting our government, they’re forcing tens of thousands of people into dire financial situations by laying them off, they’re eroding our privacy and rights, and they’re harming our mental health… and for what? I’ll tell you, all of this is done so a few greedy billionaires could squeeze a few more dollars so they could buy their 5th yacht, 9th private jet, or 7th McMansion. Fuck them all.
pulsewidth@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
When people say “I fucking hate AI”, 99% of the time they mean “I fucking hate AI™©®”. They don’t mean the technology behind it.
To add to your good points, I’m a CS grad that studied neural networks and machine learning years back, and every time I read some idiot claiming something like “this scientific breakthrough has got scientists wondering if we’re on the cusp of creating a new species of superintelligence” or “90% of jobs will be obsolete in five years” it annoys me because its not real, and it’s always someone selling something. Today’s AI is the same tech they’ve been working on for 30+ years and incrementally building upon, but as Moore’s Law has marched on we now have storage pools and computing power to run very advanced models and networks. There is no magic breakthrough, just hype.
The recent advancements are all driven by the $1500 billion spent on grabbing as many resources they could - all because some idiots convinced them it’s the next gold rush. What has that $1500 bil got us? Machines that can answer general questions correctly around 40% of the time, plagiarize art for memes, create shallow corporate content that nobody wants, and write some half-decent code cobbled together from StackOverflow and public GitHub repos.
What a fucking waste of resources.
What’s real is the social impacts, the educational impacts, the environmental impacts, the effect on artists and others who have had their work stolen for training, the useability of the Internet (search is fucked now), and what will be very real soon is the global recession/depression it causes as businesses realize more and more that it’s not worth the cost to implement or maintain (in all but very few scenarios).
devedeset@lemmy.zip 10 hours ago
I’m really split with it. I’m not a 10x “rockstar” <insert modern buzzword> programmer, but I’m a good programmer. I’ve always worked at small companies with small teams. I can figure out how to parse requirements, choose libraries/architecture/patterns, and develop apps that work.
Using Copilot has sped my work up by a huge amount. I do have 10 YoE before Copilot existed. I can use it to help write good code much faster. It may not be perfect, but it wouldn’t have been perfect without it. The thing is I have enough experience to know when it is leading me down the wrong path, and that still happens pretty often. What it helps with is implementing common patterns, especially with common libraries. It basically automates the “google the library docs/stackoverflow and use code there as a starting point” aspect of programming.
But yeah search is completely fucked now. I don’t know for sure but I would guess stackoverflow use is way down. It does feel like many people are being pigeonholed into using the LLM tools because they are the only things that sort of work. There’s also the vibe coding phenomenon where people without experience will just YOLO out pure tech debt, especially with the latest and greatest languages/libraries/etc where the LLMs don’t work very well because there isn’t enough data.

I think it’s interesting, that they can steal all this stuff and yet be unable to figure out how to sell it.

Of course it’ll be shittified by commericals in and out of the content, and of course that will lead to paid models, but it’s not going to be very profitable, because nobody _really _needs bad intelligence. “Oh, it costs something? No thanks then, we already have intelligence at home.”
Yes yes, the users are the product, yes, but who then is buying that user data? Commercials and stuff yeah yeah, but at what point does any of this manifest itself as a single fucking sales transaction where a real person pays a company for a real product? Fucking never.
The whole thing is worthless.

Ohh don’t worry, that’s not how this works :)
We’re still in the venture capital stage. The companies are circle-jerking, paying each other off with venture funds and stock splits. They don’t need to be making money at this point because they’re already getting everything they ask for.
Those $50-$200 packages from all the big companies are just there to get people used to the idea. They’re making all their money on selling each other useless support chatbots and horrible phone systems claiming they can reduce their staff by half. Well, they could always reduce their staff by half, customers have had to deal with shitty wait times for years.
You’ll pay for AI by the prices of your software rising. Those costs are absorbed and passed on to you as micro-transactions inside your actual subscriptions and payments.
Once they managed to get the AI intertwined in every system out there, they’re free to collude as a market and raise prices slowly. AI will be the cost of software inflation and hardware shortages that make anyone with a datacenter or enterprise hardware manufacturing capacity very, very rich.
It could even be that in the end, this isn’t a bubble, it’s just a grift and it never pops, but because so expensive that your average person can barely eat if they expect to use software tools for their work.

my take on the problems of AI from what i can remember:
- Destroying the environment/Draining water(is that only chatgpt?) faster
- Increasing ram prices
- taking Jobs
- Training On everything without respecting the original license/creators
- does not respect robots.txt
- sometimes not reliable source of information
- destroying creativity/oversaturating the market
- its not that reliable to replace as your assistant due to hallucination so its better to research the answers the AI gives you.(i hate how sometimes i feel like its easier,safer,less ethical and faster to ask AI then to look up the answer or maybe thats just me)
- Censoring Topics (is that only palestine genocide topics and is that also only chatgpt?)
ofc am not stopping anyone from using AI,but the ethics is the elephant in the room with AI as listed.

Let me fix that!

It’s just good enough for some shallow searches, especially with Google and internet search in general being poisoned with SEOed garbage floating to the top, which nowadays is SEOed and AI generated slop. I often have to go to sites that are old enough to be sure they’re not AI generated, or are vetted that they’re not made by some AI bro, as a side hustle towards their first million. One Linux article I no longer able to find made a Linux installation of mine borked, had to reinstall my Raspberry Pi, and the then new installer really didn’t want me to let set a different region and language at first, so I had to switch back to English after finishing the setup.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
AI is only looks good if you’re an outsider to the profession. The moment you’re even an amateur, you’ll see all of its faults. It’s just a plagiarizing machine with a built-in contextual search function (any AI model that runs as an actual contextual search instead of a wannabe assistant with a flattering personality?), that can make some crappy looking and weirdly specific clip art, stock music with funny-sounding gimmicks, and buggy code you’d better plagiarize from public domain licensed code from Github.

rumba@lemmy.zip 8 hours ago
It COULD help the average person, but we’ll always fuck it up before it gets to that point.
You could build an app that teaches. Pick the curriculum, pick the tests, pick the training material for the users, and use the LLM to intermediate between your courseware and the end users.
LLM’s are generally very good at explaining specific questions they have a lot of training on, and they’re pretty good at dumbing it down when necessary.
Imagine an open-source, free college course where everyone gets as much time as they need and aren’t embarrased to ask whatever questions come to their minds in the middle of the lesson. Imagine more advanced students in a class not being held back because some slower students didn’t understand a reading assignment. It wouldn’t be hard to out teach an average community college class.
But free college that doesn’t need a shit ton of tax money? Who profits off that? we can’t possibly make that.
How about a code tool that doesn’t try to write your code for you, but watches over what you’re doing and points out possible problems, what if you strapped it on a compiler and got warnings that you have dangerous vectors left open or note where buffer overflows aren’t checked?
Reading medical images is a pretty decisive win. The machine going back behind the doctor and pointing out what it sees based on the history of thousands of patient images is not bad. Worst case the doctors get a little less good at doing it unassisted, but the machines don’t get tired and usually don’t have bad days.
The problem is capitalism. You can’t have anything good for free because it’s worth money. And we’ve put ALL the money into the tech and investors will DEMAND returns.
Perspectivist@feddit.uk 9 hours ago
It’s more like the opposite. There’s not much evidence if it saving money or increasing productivity for companies to the extent that it covers the cost of running it where as for the general population it can be helpful with stuff like writing assistance but I bet most people use it like I do which is entertainment. ChatGPT has 800 million weekly users - people clearly are getting some value from it.

Lol. For me I just get impatient with AI. Most of the time the things I tried to use it for, it either couldn’t do, did poorly or did wrong. It was simply easier for me to do the shit myself instead of burning the planet by doing 50 prompts to get one useful result.
I tried it, learned about the environmental costs and then I stopped using it. The only thing its good for is for super basic bitch translations like that one time I didn’t know what a particular mathematical formular was like in English and I couldn’t find an answer after searching manually for awhile.
That’s the only time AI was helpful to me.
And honestly, I just don’t trust that is can help me with what I need it for 99% of the time because it just makes shit up constantly. I can’t justify using this tool when the only useful result I ever gave me was the correct way to say a mathematical formulae in English. That is just too fucking weak. I am much better at looking for answers myself, writing and drawing things than any AI will ever be because I know what the fuck I want and I can make it myself while the AI has no idea what it’s doing and only looks good to people who has zero reading comprehension nor visual literacy.
Like, I think AI music can be pretty good but I’m also a musical retard and I have no idea how to listen to music like a real musician, so to me it sounds good, but to someone who knows what they are doing, I’m sure AI music sounds like ass.

Job loss: were all told the “knowledge market” is where you deserve a good salary. AI threatens a lot of that work. Blue collar factory work will go as soon as AI can be properly integrated with nimble robotics that aren’t quite there yet. With how disgusting our society is (in the US) there will be no consideration for the people who can no longer find work.
Wealth built on theft and gambling: people like Altman become fabulously wealthy with a system that makes 0 profit and has been built off of the stolen works of millions of people.

I dunno who’d ever want to use that font as an override for the default.

maybe its a genuine question… maybe theyre asking why do you hate ai, not why do you hate ai

It’s built on ‘slave’ labor, illegal use of content and additionally using unbelievable amounts of power so the environmental concerns go right out of the window at a time where we should do everything to not do that.
Also, AI, even if it’s the currently established term has absolutely nothing to do with neither intelligence nor sentience but is being sold as AGI (overpromised).
This has caused huge masses of investment to gather which will pop at some point, causing all of us massive issues due to the missteps of a few.

It poses a threat to the freedom of the people, as well as to human life. Just watch the interview what billionaires say.

Why do you keep making and deleting so many accounts?
If you kept the same one, a lot of people would block you and stop down outing every post you make from a new account

I don’t. All the anti-intellectual technophobia we’re seeing right now will be a small footnote in history.

Don’t hate it but think it is ultimately wasting to many resources. And was over hyped we should have general AI now according to Sam Altman. If search was better I wouldn’t use AI but now I use it to replace search and yes it can be wrong but so are so many search results.

I hate AI because it’s replacing jobs (a.k.a, salaries) without us having a social safety net to make it painless.
