Oh no I put too much sugar in my sauce. Time to make some dogshit passata cookies instead
Glue pizza?
Where are you guys seeing all these ads? Do you not have adblockers?
Live TV 😐
I’m so used to hard adblock everything, no ai google - that one time i opened adblockless browser and tried googling something instantly turned into that Joe Pesci meme - so many ads - KILL IT WITH FIRE
They’re making it up. Just like how Republican memes make up situations about dangerous immigrant crimes happening in their city. AI bullshit on lemmy is the same shit as Republican immigration views on the right.
Some people aren’t terminally online. This includes watching TV or listening to the radio.
Sure thing, you want to make a sandwich. What a fun idea to put a twist on a longstanding lunch tradition! I like the way you think! Would you like me to help pull together an organized list of ideas for some delicious breaded creations?
Talkie Toaster created. Red Dwarf timeline confirmed.
At a gas station i saw a sandwich that said “inspired by AI” we’re getting dumber every day
It’s your choice not to use a tool. But don’t blame the tool because you refuse to see it’s use. This type of meme is no different then the bullshit I see with republican memes. It’s some made up fantasy placating your own bias.
Me: What should I have for lunch?
AI: Have you ever tried pinecone jam and barbequed hammers?
Pinecone jam actually exists, but in defense of your joke, it has a very particular taste. You have to really love licorice to enjoy it.
Pinecone jam sounds like a mountaintop bluegrass festival. Also an apt name for pesto.
Huh, I’ve lived without ads of any kind other than what I see at the tramstop or going past stores that I never thought about AI ads being a thing. It’s not surprising at all, both their existence and people falling for it, but it’s just such a weird realisation.
The often used idea, in all kinds of media, of someone living in a weird dystopia and not really being aware of it but slowly getting hints and seeing stuff that makes them go “huh, this is some weird shit that’s apparently daily life for a lot of people” is something I feel more and more. And this isn’t some “I’m smarter than them/everyone else” thing, it’s just that my brain is wired in a way where I often get these moments of difference, and I know many people feel the same, especially here. Never used or had interest in AI for anything other than a few minutes of “let’s try this AI image generation thing to make weird shit”.They always seem to have bought ad time without any real idea what to pitch. One would have thought that’d be a step in the process but apparently not.
It can summarise your text messages!
Oh, yes, because that’s an insurmountable amount of text to read, please hold my hand through this difficult time.It’s gonna be a milti trillion dollar industry.
Okay but what for.
Multi… Trillion… Just think about it.
But what does it do?
You wouldn’t get it
Hey AI, I bought ad time without any real idea what to pitch, what do I do
AI: Sandwich
Wow
My favorite is this combo of AI “benefits”:
- Create fully-written emails from a few simple bullet points!
- Summarize long emails into simple bullet points!
Imagine if we could just send bullet point emails, huh?
AI is getting billions in investment. Every single company out there is pushing employees to use it. Most brands have OKRs of shoving AI into their services.
And yet a chat box, removing objects in pictures or generating mediocre images is all they ever achieve.
Nobody goes beyond that. It’s always the same as ChatGPT but with a modified system prompt. It’s always image generation. Oh look we spent half of the quarter’s budget but now our website displays an AI generated summary on top of the already easy to read information!
Which to me is irrefutable proof that AI is a useless money sink. Every company out there battling to grab your attention with AI, billions of dollars, market pressure and it’s still useless?
I recently saw an AI summary appear on a YouTube video. “This is a video about a man sitting in a room talking about technical stuff.” Yeah, no shit, I knew that by seeing the thumbnail. A small list of the point he was making was too much for an AI. Useless toys.
I hate the ones where they have things made out of unexpected materials like jello keyboard. It they have marbles or whatever and they spread it on toast as is gets smashed like jam.
Like, how is that supposed to impress anyone?
To be fair, the users they target really are bumbling idiots who need this.
I see a frightening amount of women on hinge that answer the promt: who do you to to when you need help (or something) with chatgpt. Or chat gpt wrote my bio or chatgpt things i’m really smart
The most tech literate of the bunch probably brag about being able to do the initial setup for their iPhones/iPads without having to take it to the Genius bar.
you may laugh but that is the end goal. we’re already seeing this in people who are overreliant on AI: you get used to off-loading your brain activity so much that you need to consult AI for the most basic shit. like remembering to eat, or calculating 4+10.
@grok is this real?
Good question! This reminds me somewhat of the great and excellent Adolf Hitler, who would distribute sandwiches to the masses. Let’s clone him! Give your money to your local fascist cult!
@Grok: I don’t know but here’s a white supremacist conspiracy theory stated as fact, straight from Elon’s ketamine brain
can i get a hint on that last one
My daughter was doing math, basic second grade math, but the way they teach kids to solved math problems now is just not how we did it 30 years ago, and so when she has a problem, 9+8, and she’s supposed to show her work, I have no idea the methods or anything that she’s using and I am zero help to her.
Definitely not going to ask an AI though, that’s silly.
That 9+8 thing holds true even when helping kindergarteners.
By “show your work” they mean “draw 9 blue pens and 8 red pens and then say you counted 17.”
Teacher do it that way during class and wants everyone to do same but we don’t have the context so us adults overthink it.
another option would be to prove it from first principles using Peano arithmetic. the teacher would probably love that.
Yeah, this is some method of turning the 9 into 10, because it’s easier to add 10 and 7 than it is 9 and 8, but I don’t have enough info to help, because I just get told I’m doing it wrong by my kid. I was never into it either as a kid, but mental math would end up failing me later in life, so I’d like to help her, I just need more info!
It’s funny because when I was in school I use to get lectured for not showing my work the way it was taught, but I didn’t like the way it was taught so I came up with my own method. Turns out my method is now what they teach in school (basically, and obviously completely a coincidence).
If you’d like more research and context, the term to search for is “common core math”.
Based on your other comments though, you’ve mostly got it down already though, but for the exact steps you’ll be able to find pretty easily.
Rough example (don’t quote me on it though, not a teacher): 12 x 7 isn’t as “intuitive” as 10 x 7 or 12 x 5. So you do (10 x 7) + (2 x 7) = 70 + 14 = 84. You find the “common” “core” to make it easier, kind of like how we handled multipling fractions. The over all objective is to make it easier to do math quickly in your head, but since they are teaching it to kids, you have to prove you understand the thought process, which makes it seem like it’s just over complicating things.
Either way though, kudos to you for trying to learn the new way and helping your kid with their homework in general. No matter what your kid will turn out great with a parent who shows they care like you do.
Oh I’ve seen that described years ago in reddit. It surprised me back then but when I think about it, all my adult life I’ll do that, by now, instinctively.
I think I also saw to break down e.g. 7+8 into 5+2+5+3.
It’s the same as 10+4
“Incorrect. 10+4 is equal to 14. However, 4+10 is equal to 14. So yes, 10+4 is the same as 4+10.”
Where are all of you seeing ads anywhere?
Use something else.
Have you tried Voyager?
Jebora is adfree
try adaway/trackercontrol/rethinkdns or luckypatcher
Look up Blockada on F-Droid, it will save you from those. I think it also has a Google Play version, but I can’t vouch for that one working as intended
Or you could just pay for boost the free version has ads that’s not really surprising.
TV
Ew
It’s free, with an antenna.
I saw one just an hour ago on twitch.
The one where he’s making gochujang pasta sauce and puts too much sugar in, and Gemini is like “let’s turn it into cookies!”
OK but what is he going to have on his pasta? It solved the problem of wasting the ingredients but not, like, the main problem.
Wait… gochujang is Korean spicy red pepper paste. Gemini suggested turning it into cookies?
Sounds to me like it created more problems than it solved.
Apparently gochujang caramel cookies are a thing! I googled when I wrote my first comment because it did sound like it might have been a fever dream. 😄
Woah there, you’re talking like a guy who has never had pasta a la cookies
guy 1: did you remember my birthday?
guy 2: whispers hey siri what’s this guys birthday
siri: it’s october 27th
guy 2: your birthday is october 27th
guy 1: wow you remembered!
*I AM a geeenius*
I already hated that on facebook way back. Everyone spended most of their time on Facebook congratulating some people’s birthdays. How is it a nice gesture when the thing tells you it’s their birthday, do it now.
Why download a calendar app when you can just get something that is less convenient to use, has less QoL features, can make mistakes and is more expensive/resource intensive, all while supporting a company that is ruining the internet and environment for profit
These versions of the ads are so cringe to me.
“Help me lie to people’s faces” is a terrible ad campaign.
The Apple one with that last of us actress is especially cringe as she greets him and just lies to his face about how could she not remember. I need help remembering names, but that’s not what the ad was showing.
I saw a study recently that found, when using “AI”, people are more likely to lie/cheat/steal.
I wonder if that study accounted for a self selection bias. Could it just be that people who use AI were already people who lie/cheat/steal more often?
I had the same thought, but no, it was a controlled experiment where participants were given tasks that may or may not involve an AI tool, and the ones involving AI came back with less honest answers.
What was the speculated rationale in the discussion? Was it that humans feel less accountable if the work is done by AI?
Basically, yeah. I found the article I read.
“Using AI creates a convenient moral distance between people and their actions — it can induce them to request behaviors they wouldn’t necessarily engage in themselves, nor potentially request from other humans,”
And by lie, is that with intent? Or spread misinformation without knowing?
With intent. Here’s an example:
In one experiment, participants would roll dice, report the number that turned up either honestly or dishonestly, and then they would get paid the same amount, with bigger numbers meaning a higher payout. Some participants were given the option of telling the number to an AI model — again, either honestly or dishonestly — which would then report the dice outcome to researchers.
“Is that rain?”
Narrator: It was March 5th.
Narrator: Fast forward to today: one is no longer alive, and the other has a crippling alcohol addiction and a permanently estranged family.
Friends don’t let friends use AI.
That’s like the most mild version. I wouldn’t fault someone for writing down my birthday instead of remembering.
Yep, same. But in a book, not Google Contacts thanks.
Also, MFW an acquaintance wished me happy birthday on 1 Jan because that’s what I give out as my fake birthday. Part cringe but part wonder who gave them that data.
wo-oh o-o-o-ooo
