Not a ragebait post.

I started thinking why I hate AI and it’s mostly:

  • It is pushed down my throat very hard for what it does;
  • The unauthorized use of content on the internet;
  • The worsening of the environmental crisis;
  • The content it generates is shit.

I am wondering do you have other arguments against it?

    Might be an unpopular opinion. I don’t hate AI as the technologies like LLMs and ML, the possibilities are limited but when used consciously with the drawbacks and faults in mind it can be useful. If you want to hate anything, hate the players, not the game…

    • People who sell LLMs to customers under false pretenses
    • People who force the use of LLMs for tasks they are objectively bad at
    • People who build massive datacenters, ruining the environment for their dubious claims.
    • People who feed the LLMs with a massive amount of stolen training data
    • People who release those LLMs to customers who are not educated to deal with them (causing AI psychosis and general brainrot)
    • People who sell that stuff as if it was magic instead of what it really is. A sophisticated autocomplete.
    • People who sell that stuff as if it was close to being a superintelligence and therefore dangerous. Which is bullshit. The dangers lie in LLM chatbots being confidently wrong, persuading unsuspecting users to believe the hype
    • People… i think there is a pattern here.

      I generally agree with some asterisks.

      It is not people, my neighbors do not trying to sell me AI it’s the capitalist class looking to make a buck at the expense of workers.

      And another thing is that LLM in their current form require massive data and data centers. So hating LLM and hating the infrastructure here I think is the same thing.
