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.

I dunno man. That's a deep dive. I'm not talking to it like it's my girlfriend, sometimes I need to make a PowerPoint and there's an image that I think would convey a point. I lack the artistic skills to produce it so I use an Ai help every once and awhile. I'm not convinced I'm as terrible and lonely a person as you make me out to be but I'll ask my psychiatrist about it just in case.
And yet some people do.
The idea that a robot which pretends to be your friend might satiate some people's desire to have a friend is not that deep a cut. It's barely even interesting.
Don't worry, we're all here to help you out.
Also, you might just find an image that is pre-generated by some douchebag and ends up in your search results. The main thing you don't want to do is generate any new material.
I wasn't worried. I would need to share Lemmy's glaring hatred for AI to be motivated to invest that sort of time commitment. At my current state of bland boredom, I'm not there. Maybe if it takes my job or fucks my wife I'll get back to you, but I'm not big into fear. Any tool can be a weapon, any tool can be misused, AI is just another tool. It's not a cancer and its not a religion.
Boredom? I'm not bored. I'm fucking terrified of the government and the people behind it.
