I saw the AI derangement syndrome thread, but I noticed a counter thread doesn't exist, so I made this thread to talk about all the reasons you hate AI. So all doomers, gloomers, programmers, arthoes, etc. are welcome to join the AI-hate bandwagon and post in this thread.
 
I'll be watching this thread closely.
 
"So I saw a thread that praised AI and I felt obligated to spend time and some effort to counteract that"

Where do you fucking think you are? Reddit? I see that bullshit happen all the time.

One post praises something, then some asshole HAS to go and make a post directly countering it.
 
But who else would remind us, that things are

Not A.

Not B.

But C.

And give us a conclusion of what does it serve as and what should we think about it?
 
I'll actually say something productive for the thread:
My game design teacher's incessant urge for us to use generative AI software seriously makes me question why I'm still taking this class. All he does is state the most obvious things (e.g. nobody in their right minds will publish Kindergarten Killer 3D because it's too edgy) and then shill Ai tools for the rest of class by typing shit into the engine and making us watch and wait, all the while glazing and going on about how it's the future and we'll be so ahead of the curb for shitting out the most generic Ai slop over our cucked peers who actually have skills and know how to make original content, and you know what, why throw in an unwarranted and snide comment about Trump every now and then for no reason. It's such an insult to my abilities and potential. Ultimately, the professor is an archetypal lazy boomer who doesn't possess the skills nessecary to create games, so banks entirely on Ai to do the job for him. It's demoralizing to hear him talk about how skilled artistry will be outsourced to Ai and how *some* jobs may be lost in the process, but it'll be a good thing because muh bottom line. Dammit, if I see any product using Ai then I'm going to assume the product is shit and whoever made it put the bare minimum into by cutting out all the in-between and creative processes, and I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. And I know some clanker-loving traitor to the human race is going to chime in with the false pretense that only troons and lazy, entitled diaperfur "artists" who charge too much for commissions hate generative Ai, but please don't act like Ai isn't used to make just-as-lazy slop (that people charge for) and bizarre pornography all the time. TL;DR my professor is a hack, his class is phony and I would much rather know how to actually make 3D models and sketches (and truly make them original and my own while increasing my skill level) rather than know how to type stuff into an Ai tool, and if you can't model or sketch than wtf would you have the job of providing those to begin with?
 
I hate the AI slop that floods search engines. Both the articles and the terrible art.
 
I’ve stopped using it. But it has both helped and hurt me.
 
I appreciate that AI helps people's productivity with coding, creating spreadsheets, and researching diseases, but what I absolutely hate is the decline in quality of every single thing AI is pointlessly shoved into. Search engines? Bullshit AI overviews prioritized first over actual results. Just need to read some information on a website real quick? Here's a useless AI chatbot trying to grab your attention like a fucking pop up ad from the 2000s. Getting a job? Your interviewer might be an AI that doesn't know what it's doing! Just want a washing machine to wash your clothes? The prices on a lot of them are now marked up because they have the luxurious AI buzzword label on them (wtf? why does a household appliance need AI?). And that's not even taking the huge fucking elephant in the room (RAM, HDD, SSD, and general computing component prices) into consideration. It's all just gay and retarded, and something has gone horribly wrong here if we're all looking forward to a giant bubble pop with severe economic consequences to solve it.
 
ai is very good at coding simple things quickly. its really bland at writing and easy to tell from normal humans. dont see what's there to hate other than making slop more common than it was before

llm slop turns everything it touches to garbage

it doesnt turn everything it touches to garbage, only content below a certain quality. if ESL got filtered through LLMs before being posted to the Internet it would be a positive
 
Overreliance on LLMs is sort of a systemic incentive towards brain drain. It provides an easy way out for amateurs and those lacking real motivation to not need to ever develop meaningful skills, and acts as a temptation for everyone else to go down that vicious road.

It's such a shame, because if you keep it at the right arm's length as an accessory to learning (IE as a glorified search engine that you can ask followup questions to for clarification and challenge when skeptical), rather than a replacement for your thinking, it can be a force multiplier for learning and not being stuck spinning your gears, but only if you fight against the siren call to replace your actual labor, thinking and effort with it. You have to insist on making up the distance yourself, because even merely asking it for solutions rather than getting data and making the conclusions yourself removes an essential mental friction that is necessary to developing an intuition. It's tutorial hell by a different name.

The fundamental issue is just that humans instinctively want to take the least effortful route to a given solution, and the only reason one might insist on taking the hard road is a principled stance and desire for true mastery. Perhaps we'll learn the value of insisting on thinking our own thoughts rather than outsourcing them a few years down, once everyone's patience has eroded and their willingness to afford the effort of actually reasoning has atrophied to nothing, and colleges have put out only a generation of drones whose entire skillset is dictating instructions to a machine about how to ply a craft that they themselves don't understand and never bothered to learn.

The only thing I know is that I have never been prouder as a coder than I am now, sticking to my guns and insisting on writing every damn semicolon in my own code while watching everyone else race to the bottom.

I don't hate AI, it's just a tool.

But I may hate how this tool is used, designed or implemented by someone.

no it would be horrible because it would obfuscate and hide the true nature of the poster behind the content.
if you see esl shit right now it's an instant giveaway that you're likely dealing with a low iq retard who doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about, which lets you immediately ignore the post and saves you from wasting time and attention on worthless content.
different patterns of esl speech can even allow you to roughly identify what kind of poster you're dealing with (for example, russian esl reads quite different from german esl) which is information that can be useful in determining whether a post is worth reading or not.

if everything is laundered through an LLM instead, this goes out the window. now you don't immediately realize that you're reading a post from rajesh out of mumbai, and you have to waste valuable time and effort reading through the post for much longer before you realize that the content is still worthless dogshit and not worth considering.
