"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
Inception Point AI CEO Jeanine Wright told the Hollywood Reporter that “people who are still referring to all AI-generated content as AI slop are probably lazy luddites.”
Fellas, is it lazy to do your own work instead of outsourcing it to the slop machine?
Working in general is lazy. Labor is for people too lazy to be CEOs. You could be hanging from your bootstraps already.
She's acting like an LLM; just stringing words together in a grammatically plausible way, with no regard for what the words actually mean.
The luddites were proud artisans pushed too far by capitalists refusing to negotiate in good faith and governments refusing to take measures to ensure that technology was deployed in a pro-social fashion. So, yeah I suppose we are.
Luddite? Yes?
Lazy? That's some projection from someone heading LLM business.
Who even is the focus group for clanker podcasts?
Who has the time or energy?? I can’t even listen to human-led podcasts I don’t like or find boring.
Other clankers review it for accuracy of course, way faster than humans ever could.
Don’t worry no one will notice any minor, major, or biased mistakes. My system prompt specifically instructs agents towards my understanding of the truth.
Trust me bro
Highly skilled technology worker here. It's fucking AI slop.
I'm extremely okay with being labeled a luddite. I occasionally refer to myself as such.
I thought it was some kind of slur for the longest time I won't lie. If it's to begin being one I'll happy get slurred out
I was very against the word, and hated if someone would call me that, until I've learned what they actually were and why did they do their acts.
I am absolutely a proud Luddite. The proper, historical ones, not the straw Luddites of the ignorant set.
Nothing to see here, Negative attention is probably the only attention they’ll ever get.
She was Amazon’s head of Wondery, Amazon’s podcast division.
You know… Wondery… 🦗 🦗
They say the opposite of hate isn't love, but apathy. I'm going to put that to the test by completely ignoring whatever this is.
I have invented an innovative Shit-Force-Feeding Machine.
Because it's an innovative invention, anybody who refuses to use that machine or criticizes it is against Innovation, or in other words, a Luddite.
Leaving aside the obvious AI slop arguments... text-to-speech just ain't that good. Nobody's gonna listen to an entire texty-speechy podcast.
Bots will summarise it for stupid people to then skim
