Fuck AI

The weird part is the AI got it right in the search I did prior to this one

Generative artificial intelligence will never completely replace us at work: it will exploit workers more effectively, a report by Data & Society shows.

The media hype surrounding AI has had three effects. First, it has helped us forget that this technology will mostly affect work rather than leisure. Second, it has exaggerated AI’s capacity to replicate the knowledge and expertise of workers. Finally, it has understated the drawbacks of AI, most notably in its potential to exploit legal loopholes – in particular in copyright law. In general terms, AI reduces human work to a collection of data points, all while it remains highly dependent on that work in order to function. To develop a successful AI, one must not only tap into intellectual property without consent, but also extract data from workers.

Recently, I saw a post on Lemmy of an article that piqued my interest, at least enough to try to validate the information in it. When I followed the link, I was greeted with a clearly AI generated image (it showed trump with an extra finger).

I immediately lost trust in the article and made a comment regarding that. (Link)

But the reaction to this was surprising to me. I got a response stating that the author has a background of being an established writer and reporter, as well as received a lot of downvotes. However, no one responded to my points on the use of AI.

My thoughts are that if you are making money on something, then you need to avoid AI when possible and reasonable.

What's going on here? Am I wrong and this is somehow an acceptable use of AI?

[Edit] side note of something that that just occurred to me: don't go to that thread to manipulate the votes or start ""brigading"" against it for the AI. I just wanted to discuss it here. Thanks.

Could things like this be what bursts the AI bubble?

EDIT: The BBC now has a continuous coverage article. Headlines:

• More than $500bn erased from Nvidia's value
• China throws wrench into AI race on a seemingly shoestring budget
• 'AI's Sputnik moment'

And of course:
