So be rule, never accept the AI answer with verifying it. But you know what, if you have to verify it, what’s the point of using it in the first place? You just have to do the same work as you would without it.

Exactly

"If you have questions, take it up with your manager h00min.

Also, I am your manager h00min, we are entertaining no questions today.

Nao pets and treats."

Yeah wtf

All systems Go

Hence the feeling of creeping insanity. Yeah.

It literally has no other way to judge

It literally does NOT judge. It cannot reason. It does not know what “words” are. It is an enormous rainbow table of sentence probability that does nothing useful except fool people and provide cover for capitalists to extract more profit.

But apparently, according to some on here, “that’s the way it is, get used to it.” FUCK no.

But it is a fascinating technology that can do a lot of neat things if applied correctly.

Great so it should disappear entirely from every aspect of technology where it is not applied correctly. As the rest of the world has more or less worked since the dawn of history. And yet somehow it’s in everyone’s face every goddamned day and we Do. Not. Want. It.

Having alpha-level product thrust into each and every process and being told “that’s the way it is” is utter insanity. Not to mention the entire concept is flawed as a business tool. FUCK THIS.

If plastic was released roughly two years ago you’d have a point.

If you’re saying in 50 years we’ll all be soaking in this bullshit called gen-AI and thinking it’s normal, well - maybe, but that’s going to be some bleak-ass shit.

Also you’ve got plastic in your gonads.

Did you notice the alt text?

Yeah, and I noticed it didn’t describe the image at all - unless one had already seen the image and knew what it was. So for visually impaired users (i.e. one of the main groups who would benefit from alt text) it is insufficient at best.

Griping over AI, however, isn’t adding anything that isn’t posted frequently around here

Specific to the OP the issue is those of us who know gen-AI is an enormous piece of shit with only downsides for things we care about like culture and learning, we might feel like we’re going a little crazy in a culture that only seems to be able to share love for it in public places like work. Even public criticism of it has been limited to economic and ecological harms. I haven’t seen that particular angle before very much, and as someone else posted here I felt recognized by it.

So your comment isn’t about AI at all, but rather the “bubble” mentality of online discussion spaces?

Doesn’t surprise me. I think if OpenAI or any of the usual suspects stuck to the data aspects and didn’t blanket the globe in gen-AI bullshit this situation would be much, much better. But then, they wouldn’t make nearly as much money. Which, after all, is the only thing really driving the insanity.

Probably how people felt who were against the development of the printing press or internet.

No. No, it’s such a weird take. No.

Good points, but I think the anti-AI position is not an anti-technology position.

I think the people assuming it is are naïve. It’s an anti-hype position. We’ve seen bullshit waves before, but nothing like this tsunami. When previous bullshit waves broke, there wasn’t so much destruction we couldn’t recover.

I totally appreciate that. ML, imo, is not “AI” as advertised. Go you.

I appreciate the optimism.

Luckily, defending Tesla and AI are now personality trait, wrong or indifferent.

Wait . . AI didn’t make it good? Or even better?

WELL THEN WHAT THE FUCK WAS ALL THAT THREE HUNDRED BILLION BULLSHIT FOR THEN??

Srsly, if anyone has a position open lmk kthx

Anyone who is anti-AI, I get it.

Clearly, you do not.

You need to understand there’s no going back. We can help control the path forward.

How fascist. Will Dear Leader help us know the way? Here’s what we’re “going back” to - no money for tech investment and US tech unemployment at an all time high. Control that path.

So hating the AI hypenukes is ‘old man yelling at cloud’ but only being allowed to grab images of text is “people” making the web worse? Point made with an image of minimal text? from lemmynsfw?

Well goddamn.

I think that’s exactly what the author was referring to.
