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.

Lots of reasons.
It's yet another thing that is only going to benefit corporations. Because they get unsleeping workers that don't get sick or talk back or strike. They get to charge us for the benefits.
It's built entirely off of everyone else's work and content.
The servers that house the AI are draining water sheds and power grids and in the case of Elon Musk and Tennessee literally poisoning people.
It sounds way too much like a cult. Promising the sun and moon on essentially a chatbot.
It looks way to much like a bubble, our stock market is currently going up because of Nvidia largely.
AI taking over is literally one of the main plot points of Sci fi.
It's infuriatingly blameless. If the AI therapist says "try meth" you can basically only sue the massive faceless organization that built it spinning your wheels for possibly nothing.
Driving people manic by feeding into delusions
It's a God send to scammers, trolls, propaganda, sexual harassment, people in college just for the paper degree at the end, teachers who can't be bothered to write, upper and middle management who can't be bothered to write. Lots of just terrible people.
And for every new protein and material that's discovered because of it. (Some of the most useful and least destructive uses of it) They are immediately gobbled up by patents for a corporation that now has even more control of the universe and everything useful in it. And no human can decide to just open it for the world like vaccines.
