AI needs to stop

One of the leading sources of enshitification.

I hated it when everything became 'smart'.

Now everything has 'AI'.

Nothing was smart. And that's not AI.

Everything costs more, everything has a stupid app that gets abandoned, IoT backend that's on life support the moment it was turned on. Subscriptions everywhere! Everything is built with lower quality, lower standards.

My thermostat hides no brainier features behind an "Ai" subscription. Switching off the heating when the weather will be warm that day doesn't need Ai... that's not even machine learning, that's a simple PID controller.

I got a christmas card from my company. As a part of the christmas greeting, they promoted AI, something to the extent of "We wish you a merry christmas, much like the growth of AI technologies within our company" or something like that.

Please no.

I was trying to take a photo of piece of jewellery in my hand tonight and accidentally activated my phone's AI. It threw up a big Paperclip-type message, "How can I help you?" I muttered "fuck off" as I stabbed at the back button. "I'm sorry you feel that way!" it said.

Yeah, I hate it. At least Paperclip didn't give snark.

All this needs to be a shit post is an AI watermark

they don't care. you're not the audience. the tech industry lives on hype. now it's ai because before that they did it with nft and that failed. and crypto failed. tech needs a grift going to keep investors investing. when the bubble bursts again they'll come up with some other bullshit grift because making useful things is hard work.

I kind of like AI, sorry.

But it should all be freely available & completely open sourced since they were all built with our collective knowledge. The crass commercialization/hoarding is what's gross.

Forcing AI into everything maximizes efficiency, automates repetitive tasks, and unlocks insights from vast data sets that humans can't process as effectively. It enhances personalization in services, driving innovation and improving user experiences across industries. However, thoughtful integration is critical to avoid ethical pitfalls, maintain human oversight, and ensure meaningful, responsible use of AI.

According to some meme I saw, it's gonna fuck your wife in 2025.

You're fooling yourself if you really think everyone hates it.

It's the fucking touch screens again.

Containerize everything!

Crypto everything!

NFT everything!

Metaverse everything!

This too shall pass.

Instructions uclear. AI in healthcare treatment decisions.

AI is one of the most powerful tools available today, and as a heavy user, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative it can be. However, there’s a trend right now where companies are trying to force AI into everything, assuming they know the best way for you to use it. They’re focused on marketing to those who either aren’t using AI at all or are using it ineffectively, promising solutions that often fall short in practice.

Here’s the truth: the real magic of AI doesn’t come from adopting prepackaged solutions. It comes when you take the time to develop your own use cases, tailored to the unique problems you want to solve. AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all tool; its strength lies in its adaptability. When you shift your mindset from waiting for a product to deliver results to creatively using AI to tackle your specific challenges, it stops being just another tool and becomes genuinely life-changing.

So, don’t get caught up in the hype or promises of marketing tags. Start experimenting, learning, and building solutions that work for you. That’s when AI truly reaches its full potential.

The problem isn't AI. The problem is greedy, clueless management pushing half baked products of dubious value on consumers.

But then we wouldn't have to pay real artists for real art anymore, and we could finally just let them starve to death!

Was shopping for a laundry machine for my parents and LG, I shit you not, has an AI laundry machine now. I just can't even

I saw an advert on the side of a truck the other day for an AI enhanced mattress, of all things!

At this point, I'm full on ready to make "though shall not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind" global international law and a religious commandment. At least that way, we can burn all AI grifters as witches!

But the poor shareholders!

I think we're running out of advancements that make life better, now all technology does is make production cheaper/increase shareholder value.

But, but, but they want to sell as much of it as they can before the bubble bursts.

Am I the only one who hates the way there's text that follows a circle but there's two of them and they don't follow the same circle?

real

I hate what AI has become and is being used for, i strongly believe that it could have been used way more ethically, solid example being Perplexity, it shows you the sources being used at the top, being the first thing you see when it give a response. The opposite of this is everything else. Even Gemini, despite it being rather useful in day to day life when I need a quick answer to something when I'm not in the position to hold my phone, like driving, doing dishes, or yard work with my ear buds in

But the companies must posture that their on the cutting edge! Even if they only put the letters "AI" on the box of a rice cooker without changing the rice cooker

"AI" isn't ready for any type of general consumer market and that's painfully obvious to anyone even remotely aware of how it's developing, including investors.

...but the cost benefit analysis on being first-to-market with anything even remotely close to the universal applicability of AI is so absolutely insanely on the "benefit" side that it's essentially worth any conceivable risk, because the benefit if you get it right is essentially infinite.

It won't ever stop

Plot twist: this image was generated by AI /j

The Imperium of Man got this right.

It literally makes my job easier. Why would I hate it LMAO 🤣

CEOs get FOMO. They can get funding for their companies if they share "new, exciting innovations" for their products and AI is that - even if it's forcefeed in fit.

I think I see people complaining about ai more than I see ai actually in anything other than promo material.

Complaining over nothing.

"AI" is really ANI - Artifical Narrow Intelligence.

Like language models, spewing BS all the time.

AGI - Artificial General Intelligence, however... maybe that would actually be useful... maybe...

Its not really targeting the consumers here, its just to impress investors with it

Please tell this my simulation group members. I told them, but they won't listen.

Yes. Microsoft Recall were a great idea..

Sarcasm

yes, we need to ask for AI's consent first!

I don't blame them, they have to compensate their organic intelligence somehow.

The only AI I care about is Neruosama, that shit is funny as fuck. Roasting people left and right.

Rule 34 clearly states everything on the internet must fuck everything. No exceptions! AI will be forced into fucking everything!

AI needs to slop! Embrace the slop! And give us money for more slop!

Is there a way to fight back? Like I do t need Adobe in my Microsoft Word at work, can I just make a script that constantly demands AI content from it that is absolutely drivel, and set it running over the weekend while I'm not there? To burn up all their electricity and/or processing power?
