Can we leave it that way?
No, fuck off. Don't use it if you don't like it.
whats the matter? need the computer to think for you? need it to fuck your wife? is babys toy broken?
Aw looks like somebody's cranky because they can't ask chatbot how to wipe their butt.
Hopefully they'll get your nanny online again soon.
Oof what's your deal
its a matter of scale and social responsibility. you may have just accepted total environmental destruction as a basic fact of human existence. thats your own problem, more like your children's problem. but I would love to hear you defend data centers
Fuck you hypocrite. How much pollution do you put in the sky driving or riding in cars? How many kids died making your smartphone?
ChatGPT must really be on the fritz. This dude is having to write these responses by himself lol.
Can't do better that huh? Pretty fucking pathetic, dude.
Harming the environment to warm your family or earn a living wage is one thing. Harming the environment to commit mass plagiarism is another.
"It's ok when I do it because I'm a fucking hypocrite".
It's not "mass plagiarism", you fucking morons continue to display your ignorance.
What, then, do you call taking and manipulating the creations of many others and passing them off as your own?
How are those of us taking a principled stance against theft the morons?
Weird that you need a digital dumbass that's constantly wrong to help you out with your life...
Couldn't be more obvious you don't know what you're talking about. It's hardly "constantly wrong". Childish hyperbole.
Weird that you give a fuck what I do to improve my life, you arrogant prick.
literally every time I gave one of these things a shot they gave me at least one blatantly wrong answer. considering by how animated you got from the get go about the mere idea of having it shut down, you're probably not the type that would notice.
The ectoplasm is angry.
Well maybe the ectoplasm should chill out
Yeah, you probably should.
Lol, any actual reason for calling me "ectoplasm" or did you pick a random word or something?
Pointing out me being angry isn't answering the question I posed.
You’re defending slop, reacting like the slime in Ghostbusters.
I’d usually call you a slopvangelical LLM thumper, but I’m trying to branch out.
No, I'm defending a useful tool. I don't use it to make "slop", I use it to help improve aspects of my life. Fuck me, right? How fucking dare I do that UNLESS it's by a method you approve?
You're the ignorant one that thinks the only use is to make AI art or whatever.
Dig up, mate.
None of this AI grift is meant to be treated as serious.
The very foundation it’s built upon is energised sand performing explicitly and purposefully inaccurate and imprecise calculations in an explosively cascading sequence.
How better to describe the result of this than as slop?
Much like any other religious adherence, I don’t care what you believe and subject yourself to personally, but my threshold for calling out and ridiculing is the same. When those beliefs and impositions are forced on non-believers without consent, which is what’s happening from this hype cycle.
hear here
If you think it's only ability is "making slop", that means you're ignorant and proud of it
It's also really good at making humans dumb. Can you tell us more about that aspect?
These fools are all just trying to look good for each other.
It's pretty sad.
These threads are always a massive circle jerk
Tell the people using it ON us to stop then.
I'm not using it ON you. Also, I don't control other people. Nor am I acquainted with everyone who uses it.
Others are using it on us. Can you understand why we prefer it stays down?
That's kinda not his problem though
Who is using it on you? What does that mean?
It hasn't been down all day, by the way, and none of my chats were deleted.
I don't care what you prefer, mind your own business.
Here's what I mean, in an excerpt from the Internet Manipulation section of Wikipedia's article on Disinformation.
That's everybody's business.
While we may weigh up the pros and cons of these tools, it's a start to recognise that there are significant social risks here that shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.
Oh you mean the thing that has existed long before chatGPT... that's chatGPT's fault now?
You're a fucking joke.
ChatGPT and other LLMs allow the manipulation to exist in an unprecedented volume. When you have actual people making posts, there are limits on how fast a person can make them and high costs to hire more people which limit resources. LLMs let you make a script and crank out thousand of posts in minutes, each unique and able to bypass spam filters more easily.
Gotta love how the Reddit and now Lemmy community is constantly against every single kind of technological advancement and they constantly end up being wrong a few years down the line.
technological advancement is supposed to be for the better. chatgpt is not advancement.
Chatgpt brings a lot of help and happiness to people you just need to be realistic and sensible with it
Nothing but misinformation, hypocrisy and insults. This place is an echo chamber where not they're not used to being challenged.
That's not really true.
You came off combative with an attitude right from the start.
You got smacked back down repeatedly.
Certainly some of it is because of your opinions, but mostly it was because you're a jerk.
