I don’t hate AI itself, but the amount of AI slop ruining the internet gives me a negative feeling about it whenever I see it. I used to enjoy fucking around with the early pre-2021 GANs, diffusion models and GPT3 playground before ChatGPT was around and actually liked the crazy dreamlike nonsense they made, but now it all feels like dead soulless crap getting used to replace humans. Probably going to get super downvoted for admitting to ever liking AI image gens lmao
The term AI has been poorly defined for a long time, technically ChatGPT and a chess bot probably count as “AI”, but of course most people outside CS know AI to mean a sentient computer or something similar. IMO this made the AI marketing hype 1000x worse
It’s even worse if you’re in data security and auditing a supplier - people advertise “AI features” without much description and you have to contact them to see if it’s just a fancy algorithm they’ve actually had for ten years or a scanner that sends everything to some random LLM in the USA
