I had an idea for a SciFi story I wanted to write where a person’s consciousness is uploaded into a computer. Now I can’t even trito it without feeling gross because LLMs ruined everything for me, even AI scifi.
In fairness, uploading consciousness into a computer is a pretty old sci-fi trope so it would have been derivative even before the AI bubble. That being said, tropes are tropes for a reason, don’t let shitty real life “AI” stop you from writing that story. Just don’t call use the term artificial intelligence and you’re good
I hate AI. I don’t hate LLMs, SLMs, generative models, etc… but the marketing campaign buzzword that’s currently making hardware unattainable by average consumers and accelerating tracking, canvassing and profiling?
Man, I loved playing around with GPT2, I was hyped about GPT3, I paid for AI dunegon and NovelAI, I was so stoked about all of this. When ChatGPT came out, I was like “y’all are just learning about it ?” but I was so happy that this tech I loved was getting recognition.
I’m definitely in the “AI hate” camp now, this really is the worst timeline
I’ve worked with AI, off and on, for over 20 years now. The thing is, I would argue that it’s always been the same. The point of AI has always been to take the place of humans. It has always been a scary line of research with profound implications for the future.
The biggest difference now, I would argue is the accessibility. It used to be that only academics and experts could use it, but now that it uses a natural language interface, any dumb assholes and any bad actors can easily use it. And they do. In droves.
I think you’re being too literal, they mean they hate having to use it or they hate being constantly exposed to its shitty output. Obviously pretty much nobody hates, like, Markov chains.
I reserve the hate (well, severe disdain and contempt, hate is personal in my book, haven’t needed it for quite a while) for the C-Suites and owners, users get contempt if they’re using it to think for them and a pass with some sympathy if they’ve found a way to use it as a tool while retaining executive function. LLMs and broader machine learning are fine, just a tool. You can use a wrench constructively or give someone a concussion, that’s on you.
SamA is the exception, hate that market cornering fucker (and yes it’s personal, I was going to go AM5 this year).
I don’t hate AI. That’s pointless. I hate the people who use AI to ruin everything, which is the majority of AI users today.
I also hate the term AI.
And I’m not sure about the actual code either.

Something along these lines?
Reminds me of one video game,
…which is a medium spoiler for the game itself

Pretty much, but that one took it to whole new levels.
Thats Tron inspired, not AI. Boom, you are around it.

Absolutely hate it - with a vehement passion.

Yeah, it’s the latter for me. Windows adding it to Notepad was the final straw.
