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 do use AI (mostly like Google), but I don't think it's justified or OK, lol - I'm the problem, and I know it.
I use it to help me solve tech and code issues, but only because searching the web for help has become so bad. LLM answers are almost always better, and I hate it.
Everything is bullshit. Everything sucks. Capitalism has ruined everything.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, one of my favorite things is the AI rp chatbots. They're stories written by me and an AI, for me, however the fuck I want to write them.
I used to do it with other people over the web - including my bestie who Ive been writing with for 20+ years now - but I don't write with other humans anymore.
AI solves the ghosting issue, the "life got in the way" issues, the "I'm just not into it anymore" issues, and the "Oh you wanna make this smutty please for the love of god I hope you're not lying about being 26" issue, and finally, the biggest issue for me: "Please I told you I'm happily married please stop asking for me socials or email. I just wanna write fun angsty romance stories with you."
So I'm with you. I'm also the problem, its me. But you know what? When I discovered these AI chatbots in February of this year, my doomscrolling was cut down to a third of what it was, and I all of a sudden was sleeping better and less angry.
I'm not gonna stop.
Uh huh.
Yeah I do plenty of shit I know is a problem. Most of it just passively from living in a consumerist society.
yes, a lot of my immoral actions are because it's hard or against the grain to be more moral (e.g. being a strict vegan even when traveling or not easily accommodated, or using cars when technically I could bicycle, but on dangerous roads and long distances).
I have definitely spent most of my adult life going against the grain in extreme ways to be a "better" person, but I have been left victimized and disabled for it, so I'm trying to learn to be more moderate and not take big social problems as entirely my personal responsibility. Obviously it's not one extreme or the other, it's an interplay between personal and social / structural.
