Re: Tell HN: I'm sick of AI everything
#22I took compliance training today and the "actors" and voices were AI.
After watching the GPT images release video, it reenforced my skepticism that society will adapt. Then I thought about AI analysis of people's movements in public and realized that governments already capture everything, and now will be able to use infinite AI surveillance agents to watch all things all the time.
Any disobedience or crime (but really only against the government and gentry) can be instantly investigated by asking AI to analyze the behavior of all people and vehicles in the days prior to and after the incident. That's if they can't identify you immediately at the time of the crime.
When the time comes that civilian disorder is required to change the behavior of government, it will be impossible.
AI is the destruction of individual freedom. It is the destruction of citizens' ability to rebel against power.
We would be far better off without it.

#23What's "AI"? (I'm going to guess you mean generative AI such as image/video/text generation used to create slop on Facebook, but I really wish posts like this would clarify.)
Use the ample context clues or have AI explain it to you, but either way we don't need useless comments like these.

#24I think after the initial euphoria dies down, and the models reach a capability plateau, the use cases will start to come to fore.
I am an experienced developer, and, if I know what I am doing, then AI tools are an average junior programmer that I can beckon.
I have also dabbled in music creation with AI, first generating the lyrics, and then the music with vocals. Is it good. Nope. Is it average, some might say so. Is it a great use of my time, sure. Like a paid video game.

#26One problem is that when people delegate tasks to AI, they don't themselves learn anything from doing the task -- not just in the general sense of personal improvement, but in the very concrete sense of "what is it that was produced". Before AI, when someone showed you a presentation or an Excel sheet, even if it was complete horseshit that they had made up, they knew what was in it: they knew more about it than you,…
This drives me absolutely nuts.

I have a tech support buddy who, while good, allows himself more arrogance than his skills deserve. I asked him what CRC errors, and he said to ask AI, kindly providing me its output:
> CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) errors on Wi-Fi indicate that data frames were corrupted during transmission, often caused by high electromagnetic interference (EMI), physical layer issues, or faulty hardware. They cause packet loss, slow speeds, and intermittent connectivity. Common solutions include replacing cables, reducing interference, updating drivers, and adjusting radio power
This is all well and good except: read the prompt carefully. It never actually says what CRC errors are. This is the average AI user: literally work on, build, and fix things without the slightest clue about what it is you're actually working on.
He makes >6 figures lol

#28I think this is a problem unique to facebook / meta. I mean the camera roll has a dedicated "ai images" at the top instead of... your active camera like every other app.
This all started with zucks obsession with virtual avatars and you can really see this in VR.
