screenshot of text "Imagine appearing for a job interview and, without saying a single word, being told that you are not getting the role because your face didn’t fit. You would assume discrimination, and might even contemplate litigation.
But what if bias was not the reason? What if your face gave genuinely useful clues about your probable performance at work? That question is at the heart of a recent research"

[…]

screenshot of text "a shorter one. Some might argue that face-based analysis is more meritocratic than processes which reward, say, educational attainment. Kelly Shue of the Yale School of Management, one of the new paper’s authors, says they are now looking at whether AI facial analysis can give lenders useful clues about a person’s propensity to repay loans. For people without access to credit, that could be a blessing."

“We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!”

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as “AI” meant to increase market valuations.

Rules:

  • Relevant posts only.
  • No bigotry.
  • No misinformation.
  • No NSFW/NSFL content without being labeled NSFW or being in an appropriately-labeled spoiler tag.
  • This isn’t a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
  • Especially no AI advocacy.
  • No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
  • Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don’t aim frustration or accusations at other users.
  • These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

You can help the mod team by making your reports detailed.

Effective reports:

  • “The third image is a well-known anti-semitic trope”
  • “Claiming that ‘agentic AI’ can outperform humans at all jobs is misinformation”

Less effective reports:

  • “Breaks rules”
  • “Misinformation”
