Salt detected

I don't have access to it, still hate it.

Wilful ignorance is the worst ignorance.

I think people hate AI because:

• it's trained on their stolen works
• they get no credit or payment when derivative works are made
• it let's business owners threaten to dismiss more workers (who need to work to live, since there are no safety nets in place)
• when workers DO get displaced by AI, the AI does a shoddier job (enshittifying products and processes)
• further enables and accelerates the concentration of capital to the absolutely-most-wealthy-people

I could go on and on.

Loss leaders are a thing. The problem is the ai companies don't have the high margin alternative products to offset the losses.

These are implementation critiques

Sure, it's always good to check if my blocklist is up-to-date and working.

I can't afford a cybertruck; I still don't want one and think they are stupid as fuck. AI would be the same.

I also need to ask: Are you hurt? This is the kind of showerthought one would have after slipping and hitting their head in there.

We most certainly do. Pharma work pays big, for example.

This is what people know as "AI" right now (because it's being shoved down their throats that way)

Naoh

Additionally, many complaints center on environmental concerns that are also implementation issues. Relatively few people are content creators.

Your entire argument is nothing but an implementation critique.

You can remove the "ish" from your username

I think the only salty person is you

People don't hate food, air, and water because they have access to it.

This argument is beyond stupid and classist af.

We have access to it, so we can see that it's shit. Yes.

If we didn't have access to it, and didn't know anything about it, then we couldn't have a fair opinion on its quality. And, yes, by definition it would be seen as luxurious.

I'm not sure what your point is.

People hate private jets too.

You sure? I think it has something to do with the mind-boggling amount of ecological and economic damage it has done to our world.

Do pharma need LLM chuds though?

Data centers needed for AI are driving up electricity costs to surrounding residents, they use ungodly amounts of water to cool the systems and dump that now hot water back into the ecosystem, causing ecosystem collapse or into the municipal wastewater process, overloading treatment plants, children are using it to do their homework, potentially harming their ability to critically read and write (this is still being studied, and most evidence is anecdotal or still in review).

You forgot the environment and the energy prices.

You need a plumber, your shower is broken

No plumbers available. AI is now responsible for fixing the shower.

Exactly

Electrolytes are good for you but you mighr be over doing it.

Spell much?

Sorry, ill run it through an llm

And we know how principled the average person is

I dont see how its shit. Maybe its shit if youre using it to do slop creative works. From an it perspective its game changing.

You eating prime rib tonight?

What high dollar scotch you cracking into?

Wowo interesting, describe to me how a closed loop cooling tower works.

What's so salty about me?

Yes, but the sad thing is if it weren't implemented as a resource for all it wouldn't carry the same anti weight.

You should add me to that

Sounds like a problem for ai companies to solve unless your concern is their success or larger economical impacts. Not a real critique of the technology itself.

Seriously, you should work on that

I'm having cereal for dinner, and I too hate AI

Sounds weird. Hope you feel better.

And hastening Dead Internet.

Though that one was already in the works. But Ai is certainly fast tracking it.

I respectfully disagree but I upvoted because it is a quality shower thought

It is almost like it was conceived in the shower

No, I think I'd actually hate it a lot more like that

Nah.

I look at the people letting LLMs do all their thinking for them and think "what the fuck are they even doing?". I want none of that shit.

I slipped with the salt shaker, oops.

This is called a scarcity mindset. It's the same reason that luxury brands can charge ridiculous amounts of money for shit that looks ugly as hell.

Yes, a good number of people have this mindset.

And yes, they're all wrong.
