  • That reminds me of an article I read on mental floss the other day. It talked about dime novels back in the 1800s. There was a hype that dime novels, or short and effortless written novels were corrupting the market. They eventually passed some law that outlawed them. But all they were was poorly made novellas. This could be what happens to AI when bots start writing and possibly publishing novels. People would argue they are corrupting the market. But it’s gonna take some really good lawyers to go up against big AI.




  • These are weak points to me. I could care less about more than half of these. The only one I am concerned now about is the psychological one. That you have made a good point. Though, trying hard in workplaces is now almost effortless for me, my brain might eventually stop working as hard and that is a good point. Thao makes me want to use AI less at work knowing that my mind isn’t really being exercised ass much. You could have really had a good debate about that but the others are flumadiddle to me so I won’t debate them.




  • All AI. There are a group of people. It’s always at least one or two when I post something AI related and people complain about it. I find AI answers interesting. I post it on Lemmy and someone has to type away and put me or it down proving no point. I would have to say if I were to narrow it down to LLMs. Any and all of them. I mean there are open source ones not owned by the rich. I have played around with them. Would people spread much hate if I posted the results of a inquiry from an open source AI?


  • I’ve used it in my work and it feels like I haven’t done any work. Other coworkers ask me for prompt engineering techniques because I happen to read books about this all the time. I have it do deep research, a paid feature, and it is surprisingly accurate. It is now accurate about 80 percent of the time which is a big improvement form about 60 percent in the inception of ChatGPT. It hallucinates a lot less. I test it’s answers based on duckduckgo searches and I usually scroll down long enough to find the confirmation. AI companies sometimes hire experts to rate answers. Although AI is still in its infancy, it seems to do basic tasks with ease, medium tasks with least trouble and the paid version you can upload a PDF or a csv file and ask it about it. It rarely fails to answer basic lookup queries with these files. And this definitely saves a lot of time. There is a right and a wrong way to use AI. But I definitely can see where you are coming from.


  • Why do people hate them? Just because they are rich? I won’t defend them but it doesn’t change the usefulness of AI. I have run into so many people who now use AI in their jobs and it makes working ten times easier. They feel like they haven’t done much work and still get paid a full salary. What’s wrong with that? Of course the rich are corrupt. Money corrupts everyone, eventually. People hate AI thinking it will one day go away. LMAO. It ain’t going anywhere. They can hate all they want. It’s not going to change anything.




  • I mean I am not against AI. I pay for ChatGPT plus. My brother and I have gotten rogue type AIs off the dark web and mess around with them locally. I use Gen AI for reference images to look at when I draw. They are also for inspiration. I just feel it is an injustice to artists. If it were somehow possible for Gen AI to credit the sources of its generations, which I don’t believe is possible since the training is baked into the AI. That would be advantageous. Regardless, I don’t have any real strong opinions for or against it.
