I am fucking tired of AI.

Okay, good enough. Only deleted and reposted this like four times.
@nuintari I feel you - been there done that!

I am fucking tired of AI. I am fucking tired of my in-laws trying to show me the things their son, "made," with AI. I am fucking tired of explaining why I won't take an AI centric job for any amount of money. I am fucking tired of people telling me how AI has helped them, "learn," new concepts. I am fucking tired of hearing people say, "I use it to make pictures with my grandchildren!"
I am so fucking tired of the blatant theft of every bit of intellectual property on the planet, whether it was bolted down or not. I am fucking tired of the wholesale distillation of human thought and achievement into a sludge of on-demand dopamine boosting energy drink.
I am so fucking tired of the datacenters. I am so fucking tired of hearing how it is going to solve global warming, while it continues to contribute to global fucking warming. I am fucking tired of the endless cycle of hype being the only profit center with regard to AI. I am fucking tired of watching farmland turn to concrete blocks that generate pollution and stupid.
I am so fucking tired of people telling me it is a useful tool. I am so tired of being reminded to check AI's work, because it often makes mistakes. I am fucking tired of hearing that AI is going to democratize things such as art, music, and software development. I am fucking tired of watching people I thought were intelligent succumb to the idiocy of AI tools.
I am so fucking tired of playing the, "Is it AI slop or not?" game every time I see, hear, or read something. I am fucking tired of random phone calls with AI agents on the other end. I am so fucking tired of being told it has beneficial uses. I am fucking tired of being told that these tools are here to stay. I am fucking tired of being told that I will be left behind.
And if you use AI tools, I am so completely and utterly fucking tired of you.
@nuintari As someone who uses AI tools as a productivity crutch (with the excuse of a debilitating degenerative joint disease caused in part by decades of typing); I feel conflicted every day. I do think we're going to look back at this era though as somewhere between the Dada movement in Art, and the MCSE movement of ~2000 where people listened to radio commercials thinking they could get a high-paying job as a sysadmin just by taking some overpriced course.
It'll be interesting, nonetheless.

@thomrstrom I have yet to see any accessibility tool that requires several towns worth of mega data centers.
There is ML that can run locally, or at reasonable scale that is perfectly acceptable in my admittedly, very firm world view.
None of these things are the massive surveillance state being built, disguised by generative AI.

@thomrstrom @nuintari I have already seen a lot of accessibility washing to justify the existence of technology such as the meta creep glasses and generative ai because it can help some blind people have a description of the world around them. Nope. Not buying it.

I have come to a point I don't trust any image that I see. I suspect every one of them has been generated by AI.

@nuintari Sounds like you're pretty tired, I hope you find a way to get refreshed. Unfortunately pretty much everything you do on a pc or smart phone runs through a Data Center or at least a server farm (most are in DCs) This post ran through one. So did yours. Hard to get around it without a major change in society. Tech companies created the problem, we bought it. We can pressure Big Tech to incorporate digital sustainability, i.e. enough is enough (yeah, right)

@thomrstrom @nuintari As a fellow disabled person (autism, ADHD & psoriatic arthritis) you have to know that one of the roots of what we call AI today is eugenics.
I just cannot support something built by people who want to see me erased.
I don't think this period will be looked on favorably or as merely an aesthetic period. At all.
The harms being done at scale are incredible.

https://shift.com/blog/the-carbon-footprint-of-the-internet/@ArrowbearMoore @nuintari the amount of energy required to drive the current hype cycle pales the amount required to run previous generation global networks and compute.
It is absolutely mind boggling that this can be even legal for what's happening right now.
Even the new gas plants planned for the gigantic hypothetical data centers shadow the most intense industry relying on fossil electricity. It is absolutely unbelievable that this even gets approved by governments.
This must not happen!

@ArrowbearMoore Please delete this off-topic and insulting response.
Yeah, I know what a data center is. I fucking work in this fucking industry, I have been working in data centers for over 25 years now. I am not against data centers.
I am against AI data centers. I am against mega data centers. The data centers we need to maintain the Internet and established, useful technologies draws a tiny fraction of the resources AI data centers consume.
I'm not against technology, I'm against AI. We don't need AI. AI is a net negative technologically, socially, economically, and environmentally.

@nuintari "am fucking tired of watching people I thought were intelligent succumb to the idiocy of AI tools" this bit particularly
.
im tired of that i cant do literally anything without having to wade thru discussions about it, so even if not involved myself now 40% of my feed is either people succumbing to it, apologising for it or railing against it, and irl 40% of my conversations are now either people trying to push me to use it, or who want head pats for something they "made" or me having to explain why i dont wanna goddamn hear about it or use it. i wish it would just fuck off into the sun and it never be mentioned again. -

On Youtube, the AI-generated content is everywhere, and people don't even recognize it. Even when it is pointed out to them, many deny it.In the Netherlands, government ministers have delivered AI-generated speeches:
