I’ve seen a lot of articles and posts about AI that use the term “like it or not” as in “like it or not, AI is here, and we might as well get used to it” and that is such bullshit.

@rasterweb public opinion does actually influence how companies decide product lines, at least when the company isn't all in cultists about the technology. And they are noticing the anti-AI backlash.

[thomasjwebb@mastodon.social]

@rasterweb it's also just lazy. I don't think neural net-based technologies are going away. But there are a million different ways it being "here to stay" can look like, not all of them are most of the population being underpaid maintenance workers in server farms while a few privileged white collar workers get to play LLM roulette all day.

Has the progress of humanity (less disease, poverty, war, etc.) all been because of the tiny minority of people who actually try to make the world better? What would happen if even half of people actually tried? (2/2)

[nwd@mastodon.online]

@rasterweb I’ve been thinking about this a lot the past few days, that people accept things because they think they’re powerless as an individual against a big corporation or government. It’s crazy to me how the internet made it easier for people to network, but it’s rarely used to unite people to push to make the world better, even for things that the vast majority agree should happen. Instead, it’s used for memes and harassment. (1/2)

@jesse @arclight @rasterweb Bugs can be tasty, and thus already have a huge advantage over anything AI generated.

@rasterweb
The death knell for AI is that everyone's electricity bills are going through the roof for data centers that produce AI child porn. A rebellion is brewing.

@rasterweb "like it or not, AI is here to stay"...well, that is until the investor money runs out. and at this point, everyone who's dependent on AI tools will be utterly fucked.

[lexinova@cyberplace.social]

@rasterweb to be honest those article also completly miss the point as many AI hater do.

In some case AI is there and will not disapear (Millitary, grammar correction etc).

It's the generative par in Gen AI that is a thing that must disapear.

Because when it come to analyse existing data AI is a god, when it come to generate new data it's shit.

@rasterweb Like it or not, asbestos is here, so we will continue putting it in your walls.

[tippitiwichet@mastodon.social]

@rasterweb Like it or not, paint has lead in it and it's here to stay. Like it or not, the coke in Coke is here to stay. Like it or not, women will never be allowed to vote. Like it or not, eh you get the point.

Paedophilia is here... might as well get used to it.

Not resisting means giving up your mental skills and faculties.

How can we build a better world without racism, fascist and AI replacement of humans?

[berniethewordsmith@neopaquita.es]

@rasterweb It always gives me chills how close the AI bro terminology tends to fall from the language used by abusers

@rasterweb herpes is here to stay, too. One just needs to learn to spread it responsibly.

[sandriver@zoner.work]

@rasterweb@mastodon.social also, it's beyond liking or disliking, and the tech leaders framing it as simply aversion and distaste are either disingenuous or completely out of touch. due to the culture I was raised in, I don't "dislike" the planet burning and the violent pollution of people's air, it's a violation of my most deeply held values about our bond with the land and duty of care to other people; and of course there are many more just like me that must wear this terrible sadness and anger at the callousness on display.

@rasterweb When Putin used those words for Ukraine, everyone called it out as rapey language! Well, I am tired of being raped by LLMs!

@rasterweb

Whenever anyone says "like it or not" it usually means you should NOT.
