Dear Fedi friends,
I'd like to put together a list of people who are publicly resisting / calling out LLMs and AI slop.
Why? I enjoy reading my Fediverse feed in topical lists and I need something to counteract the unrelenting AI hype I see in the media.
Do you have any recommendations?
So far, at the top of my list I have:
@timnitGebru @emilymbender and @alexhanna of @DAIR
plus @cwebber @jaredwhite and @tante
Anyone else to recommend who advocates for #NoAI?

in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂ • • •@trezzer
The #NoAI tag is common enough that it's a good candidate for setting up a filter to turn any post with that tag into a CW post.
I'm a fan of standard tags instead of CWs for things that are not violent or sexual but a decent sized group would want to hide since they give people the power to control their own timelines more effectively.

in reply to George B • • •@gbargoud
Same!
I also use content warnings when I answer to a 'puzzle' to not give away the answer 😀
And then: as a teacher of Adobe software, I usually start the first classes with 'We won't be using AI, what's more: I will show you how to hide all their AI options. You can make them visible again once you have enough skills and knowledge to evaluate their results. You need to learn how to do it first, before you let AI do this automatically."

I did start an English version years ago, when the Big Thing was still techbros being techbros, but I had to suspend after just a few episodes, the production effort is not manageable. I keep wanting to return to it, though, in one form or another (mabe just publish the English script), especially when I touch a topic that is passing unnoticed.
Wait, I'm forgetting! I could *use AI* and have automated translations in 5 billion languages!

in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂ • • •Christine Lemmer-Webber
in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂ • • •I would clarify also that I am not quite #NoAI in terms of AI tech, but I am definitely opposed to the *AI industry* and this hype wave. There may be various useful things from this tech, but the net version of things with it being forced upon society right now in this hype wave is that everything is getting much worse, and sickeningly so.
Several more pieces need to be added to the puzzle to make "AI" tech more useful, and I'm also simply opposed to a direction in society that dismisses and devalues creative endeavors, which a lot of this hype is putting at the center of itself. Creativity is what makes life largely worthwhile. I'm not willing to give that up.
I have no problem with OpenImageDenoiser in Blender, which speeds up renders through machine learning, and in no way devalues creativity. But something which made it so I just typed a few words into Blender and it did all my artwork for me, I would oppose.
Elena Rossini ⁂
in reply to Christine Lemmer-Webber • • •thank you for that nuanced explanation Christine! I am 1000% aligned with you.
Of course I'm all for technology helping with medical breakthroughs, but I oppose the pillaging of creative output without consent, the erosion of critical thinking and the mass surveillance facilitated by these initiatives (amongst other things)...
poleguy looking for lost tools
in reply to Christine Lemmer-Webber • • •I have been appreciating your well considered takes!
I hate the AI hype. The bubble is bad. The effects on creative work and the environment is depressing.
But I am not looking for strict #NoAI content, but well reasoned and researched critical content. As an Electrical Engineer my interest is in understanding the state of the art. I can't learn this from those who refuse to look behind the veil.

Republicans vs Democrats, Linux vs Windows, Android vs iOS, Packers vs Bears, Catholic vs Protestant, US vs China, Choice vs Abortion, Immigrant vs ICE, you name it... we pick a side, we find a cult leader to follow and we blindly glom on. Our side becomes the good side, the other side becomes the evil side.
Then we comfortably memorize 15 second talking points from endless tik-tok reels.
And we retreat into our bubbles. Sad.

in reply to Christine Lemmer-Webber • • •@_elena @timnitGebru @emilymbender @alexhanna @DAIR @jaredwhite @tante
This is why it's so important to specify things like generative-AI. AI on its own is a meaningless nothing-word with how much it's shoved in everywhere and anywhere. Yeah, faster denoising with machine learning is great! But a slop machine that pollutes the environment and steals people's jobs and work for the purpose of deceiving others for capitalistic gain? Not so great.
I love the AI that detects cancers better than doctors can, I love the AIs that automatically remove pauses from audio recordings, and I love the AI that automates boring, tedious sh!t that humans hate doing such as spreadsheet organizing. I just fucking hate generative-AI specifically.
trissc̈hen
in reply to Luigi.exe (Dragonheart System) • • •@Eeveecraft
That 'help detect cancer better' doesn’t actually work all that well though, as it worsens doctors’ ability to detect/confirm cancer, gets worse over time as it can’t adapt to subtle outside changes, and has huge issues with biases. So while it might be slightly better for the standard-case of an average white man, it’s worse for everyone else.
Also at least your 'remove pause from audio' example sounds way more suited for relatively simple algorithms than statistical models to me.
(I do agree though that there are some cases where things that would be called 'AI' nowadays can actually be good)

'Data privacy expert Em (she keeps her last name off the Internet) called AI assistants the “archnemesis” of data privacy because their utility relies on assembling massive amounts of data from myriad sources, including individuals.
“AI models are inherent data collectors,” she told Ars. “They rely on large data collection for training, improvements, operations, and customizations. More often than not, this data is collected without clear and informed consent (from unknowing training subjects or from platform users), and is sent to and accessed by a private company with many incentives to share and monetize this data.”'

in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂ • • •I hate LLM powered genAI because of how it was developed, why it was released, and how much environmental damage it causes. I hate the racism, sexism, and classism built into it. I hate how much the people funding it and championing it deride and belittle human creativity. I hate how they humanize a statistical token prediction engine while simultaneously demuhanizing actual people.
Other types of "AI" are not burdened with the same existential baggage even if they are used for the same types of war crimes. Machine learning, expert systems, neutral networks, all that other "AI" didn't take exploitation to the same level genAI has. They were always biased. That's documented. But the scale and the speed of genAI, the money being burned just as much as the fossil field, is almost unprecedented. Bitcoin and NFTs couldn't do it, but this bubble just might accelerate us over enough climate tipping points that we kill ourselves and 90% of the rest of all life. We are an extinction level event thanks to genAI.
