your comment is absolutely bizarre given whoever you replied to deleted their original comment and response.

Indeed, kinda became a super meme for a bit https://youtu.be/_5YzexpX7es

I believe the bird didn’t get very far.

I think the bigger drivers behind Anti-AI is: the novelty has worn off, the upper class is shoving it into everything from the fast food intercom at a drive through to everything on the phone and OS, AI is drastically raising energy prices even without turning on a switch as power companies plan for increased need for capacity, AI has made computer parts expensive, AI is visibly making the dead internet theory a reality, and while there is more reasons left the big underlining issue is there is very little tangible benefit.

Also accepting AI requires being alright with the upper class stealing the bulk of the species intellectual property after decades of “Don’t steal music” and all those “FBI warnings” about copying movies. Further insult is the audacity to want money for rehashing what they stole.

I actually don’t mind “AI” with coding but really this is all secretly just a surprise attack from the “We don’t need to do maintenance and tech-debt isn’t a real thing” crowd.

For anyone with any professional/commercial experience knows, the auto-slop factory is a dream come true for management as they just keep pulling the techno slot machine lever over and over until it works and then ship it.

At a bigger picture, everything is or is becoming absolute shit for quality but somehow more expensive. Now software (and hardware) is falling in line and embracing entropy. Wait until that old fogey idiot Linus Torvalds passes on and we’ll get AI slop in Linux the minute after the Dr calls it.
