Now watch the comments move the goalposts about AI because we're talking about FOSS.

What are the goalposts, so we all have the same frame of reference?

That AI is trash

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And what is AI? Is it being able to read text from images or isn't that AI anymore because it's proven to be useful?

Dude what? My point is that this community loves to ramble on about how trash AI is especially when used by big corporations. But when our beloved FOSS incorporates it, this community is head over heels with the idea.

Y'all just look for different ways to shit on corporations and AI was an avenue for that.

It depends on how it's used.

If it's being used by a for-profit company to try to get investors, there's a >99% chance that its trash.

If it's used by a FOSS project, there's a >90% chance its to solve a real problem in a useful way.
