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.

The ill-concieved printing press argument is a standard pro-AI trope.
Yeah, i don't know where you live but here in America our democracy is in shreds thanks to those things. They came true, just as they said it would. Environmental collapse is next, for those keeping score at home.
P.S. Characterizing my post as pro-AI is so utterly fucking stupid it speaks volumes as to the real source of your nation's tattered democracy. Just sayin'.
You had an enormously destructive civil war in the 19th century, but yes, go ahead and blame television and the Internet on your democracy being in tatters.
News flash, homey: your democracy was in tatters from the very outset. It has never not been in tatters.
Since you apparently don't live here, we'll leave it there then.
Saying knee jerk rejection of new technology is common is pro-ai?
If it's such a bad, ill-concieved notion, why don't you explain why it's wrong, instead of just saying that it's used by people you disagree with?
Maybe if an argument is used by both pro and anti AI people, it's less a "pro-ai" argument, and more a "let's keep in mind how often doom and gloom has been wrong and keep our criticism grounded"?
Again? No. Maybe someone else feels like explaining it this time.
My good dude, the sentient life on this planet is about to witness several extinction events in our lifetime because we ignored the grounded "doom and gloom" research. If you want to stand on the big red X this time while a loud whistling noise and billionaire cackling gets louder, that's up to you but as many people have tried to say before - it's a bad idea, don't do it.
Yeah, you're attacking people who agree with you, but disagree with your notion that we can ignore "reality" in describing why it's a bad idea.
Have fun with that.
