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.

It's like all these "smart" businesspeople can't read simple opinion polls.
Most people hate degenerative AI.
Most people avoid products that have it.
Adding degenerative AI to EA's games will worsen their condition, not improve it.
I suspect half of the bet is in firing programmers and vibe coding away, which is already working out super well - for "AI code cleanup" professionals
