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.

Ai isn't magic. It isn't inevitable.
Make it illegal and the funding will dry up and it will mostly die. At least, it wouldn't threaten the livelihood of millions of people after stealing their labor.
Am I promoting a ban? No. Ai has its use cases but is current LLM and image generation ai bs good? No, should it be banned? Probably.
Illegal globally? Unless there's international cooperation, funding won't dry up - it will just move.
That is such a disingeous argument. "Making murder illegal? People will just kill each other anyways, so why bother?"
This isn't even close to what I was arguing. Like any major technology, all economically competitive countries are investing in its development. There are simply too many important applications to count. It's a form of arms race. So the only way a country may see fit to ban its use in certain applications is if there are international agreements.
The concept that a snippet of code could be criminal is asinine. Hardly enforceable nevermind the 1st amendment issues.
