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.

It's got what corporations need!

You walk into the pitching room, and say "by AI, with AI, for AI". All the investors instantly cum
I'm likely less against AI than most of the people here, but I've seen whole pitches were "detail proposal" was rejected because the counter proposal was "AI agents... Somehow". So now we need to fucking cram AI agents on top of the actual work because else we just lose the projects.

Looking for a new job. Tried out Indeed’s new “Career Scout powered by AI.”
It’s not AI. It can’t even maintain a conversation. It just responds with canned responses.
Indeed has something like that now? It's bad enough that empolyers use this shit to write the job descriptions, then use it to reject our resumes without reading them, but now the job hosting site itself is shoving it down our throats.
"Hey, I got an idea how we can stop this worsening of the already inherently flawed job market. Let's fight fire with fire, grease fires with water, and napalm with more napalm! Works every time."
It’s not even that. They just wrapped what could be some buttons in a chat interface.
