A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

For me AI has become the new 3D movie. People generally don't want it but they just won't stop pushing it. Exhausting.
My dad wants it, badly it seems.
I doubt he's alone.
My wife was gifted an old pre WW2 Hitler related coin and i got curious so i started to research it's value and origin, my dad kept trying to get me to install some AI app to ask it about the coin.
I stumbled on some very old local currency (1625, from the city i was born in) which was absurdly expensive and from a very specific time in the history of this city when another country occupied it. They were square coins and as it turns out my city has loads more of interesting history that i found through finding other old coins online...a beautiful journey that would've never happened if i took it to AI.
Personally I prefer those 5D movies
I was watching Despicable Me with my daughter yesterday and was struck by how we will never see much variation or artistic style in animated movies ever again. They all just look like Pixar/DreamWorks now.
"What's a dimension?"
"You know like a graph? There's the X-axis and the Y-axis. In 3D there's a Z-axis, so things will appear to pop out of the screen."
"That sounds terrifying! Who would wanna see that? It would scare the audience and cause a panic!"
