If you really felt that way you wouldn't talk about it.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight_Club

People complaining about AI are flooding the zone together with all the people who switched from NFT to AI, the "I vibe coded something and it almost works" crowd, etc.

Be careful what you vote up, also keep an eye on the /new page and vote things up that aren't about AI, also feel free to submit things that aren't about AI. If you look at the difference between the home page and the /new page, you can see the supply of bad articles about AI far exceeds the demand, keep holding the line against it.

I didn't recognize that expression, so to save other's the search: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(franchise)#The_Butlerian...

> As explained in Dune, the Butlerian Jihad is a conflict taking place over 11,000 years in the future[7] (and over 10,000 years before the events of Dune), which results in the total destruction of virtually all forms of "computers, thinking machines, and conscious robots".

and thus if you use "luddites" to describe people who push back against LLMs being the second coming, and further suggest that those folks want all computers thrown in the trash, then you are deeply unserious and I have fed the troll

This sums up my feelings exactly. The future is going to be so much more boring than the past, as we (society at large) dislocate our Understanding to LLMs. Without Understanding, there will be no Beauty, only Pleasure.

I'm tired of hearing about people who are tired of talking about AI - is there a place on the Internet for me?

I am not. It reinforces my belief that this phase of bullshit will wear off one day which I can’t bloody wait for.

AI has its use, but the ecosystem is filled with scammers selling snake oil and a few people who are fed up but completely overreacting like this blogger.

I guess giving a fair assessment covering both pros and cons neither generate clicks nor money these days.
