AI SUCKS
FREEDOM LOVERS UNITED
AGAINST ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
AGAINST ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
AI sucks property by scraping the internet of billions of copyrighted words and images. AI sucks resources by requiring obscene amounts of electricity and water to perform its most basic tasks. AI sucks jobs when corporations use it to reduce human staff and eliminate crucial entry-level positions needed to train the next generation. AI just… sucks.
To gently (or not) slap some sense into our fellow humans and show them the emperor has no fucking clothes. To celebrate achievements by real humans. Brainstorming using real brains. Real photos & video of real people with the correct number of fingers and no vacant, uncanny valley soullessness. Real illustrations without that golden, urine-y sheen.
The future does not belong to the AI tech bros.
It belongs to us.
Welcome to the human resistance.
Say FU to AI.
The AI tech bros make sure the average person doesn’t know any of the negatives about generative AI, so we mostly want to get people thinking about how it sucks, why it sucks, and the sucky consequences of using it so they can hopefully reject it as well.
We’re all about responsible technology that’s created ethically, doesn’t drain resources, and isn’t built by stolen goods. But the folks who make that stuff need to call it something else. The term “AI” is tainted meat. There’s a reason nobody has named their kid “Adolf” in the last 80 years.
Fuck those guys.
Nobody has ever actually asked us any questions.
Who are you, the acronym police?
No more questions.
Our “Human Made For Human Use” badge features the FUAI brandmark that combines the spark of human creativity with the upward EKG spike of a healthy, beating heart. By downloading and displaying it, you’re telling the world you use your brain to storm and your skills to “generate” original work. And that you believe AI can get fucked.
For simpler layouts, please enjoy this FUAI button that gets straight to the AI effing point.
The resistance is growing, and we’ve got a pitchfork in one hand and a box of popcorn in the other. Here are some helpful links for inspiration, entertainment, and information (since we can no longer trust The Washington Post and The New York Times is real touch and go these days).
With a mission to “protect, preserve, and proclaim the value of human creative work,” Human Intelligence® is where you’ll find our favorite LinkedIn agitator, Jim Amos.
A digital zine (there’s a print version, too!) brought to life by Bart Fish, who channels the fire and rage of Reagan-era DIY design into an aesthetic that’s too provocative to not be fully authentic.
This nearly 15-minute video by Emmy-winning, nonprofit newsroom More Perfect Union zips by with style and urgency, though what’s with the sloplike vibe of the out-of-focus bookshelf background?
More and more humans are hating AI! Who knew? Futurism.com sure did/does!
“I am here to be rude, because this is a rude technology, and it deserves a rude response. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance.” All kinds of gold can be found in Anthony Moser’s anti-AI manifesto.
McSweeney’s is The Onion with a Master’s Degree. And like their pungent bulb brethren, America’s descent into authoritarian rule has sharpened their satirical knives to cut quick and deep.
“Luddite” has been a pejorative for so long, it’s mindboggling to discover it’s a result of more than a century of propaganda leveled against a workers’ movement fighting soulless corporate greed.
It’s only one modestly-sized paragraph, but the TLDR from Cornell University is that ChatGPT is making people dumb.
