      Don‘t let the door hit you on the way out. I thought it important to tell you that as you seem incapable of functioning without your stochastic parrot.

    Friendly reminder: LLMs will never be able to reliably generate factual information, no matter how good they get. The best they can do is point you to primary sources who can actually gather information about the world. It is not a source of any information; it is only a language machine.

    Some anti AI people are so corny. Like there’s so much to hate about AI. It’s evil in tons of different ways. But this just comes off as ignorant.

      You still have to meet a chatgpt relay drone then. I’ve met some. The conversation with them is basically you asking them something (usually about their assumed field of expertise) and them relaying to you whatever bullshit the chatbot vomits to them. Especially fun when you meet them in a working context where they are supposedly an “expert” that comes to solve an issue for you.

      It cuts to ONE OF the roots of the problem. It’s just not the “evil gigacorp” problem.

      It’s the problem of the effect on the user, regardless of how evil or altruistic the AI and its creator are.

      I have lamented in a few comments recently about how many people seem to think the purpose of technology is to make it so they don’t have to put effort into their life. They don’t need to learn, and they don’t need to create. They just need the right technology and a good enough bank balance to pay for it.

      I’m a tech person but for the last couple years I have made my hobbies and home life as much about nature and life sciences and physically interacting with the outdoors, building shit, taking care of my animals, etc. It has been very very good.

      Nah it’s pretty funny, this accurately describes a bunch of people (as accurately as a meme can or should, anyway)

        Many studies have been released recently about the rapid loss of cognitive abilities and skills due to the use of AI. It’s like how driving everywhere causes your muscles to atrophy, except it’s your critical thinking and reasoning skills, and it starts to happen within days or weeks of relying upon AI to do the work for you. Programmers who use AI and then stop have been found to write worse code after they stopped using AI than before they started, even for basic tasks. Reliance becomes dependence as you can no longer do the work yourself.

        This meme is quite literally true.

          And those studies are very context dependent and type of tech dependent etc etc etc, but because it fits your preconceived biases because you dislike AI generally you parrot it blindly. Kind of ironic don’t you think?
