"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Yes, I'll just trust the AI to help me fuck around with grid voltage levels.
With google search results becoming so poor, I guess I need to look into kagi or duck-duck. Pain in my dick, motherless goatfucking, horsehit-happy asshole, corporate varmints gotta fuck it all up for more profit. I'm tired, yo.
This isn't how AI is advertised, though. The majority of voices that people are hearing are just saying "AI can do anything" and not cautioning against trusting it. That's not a matter of being stupid, it's a matter of being lied to
Well. It's still on you. I've busted Gemini for contradicting itself multiple, multiple times. "But you just said this...."
It is programmed to speak authoritatively. If you question it, it is programmed to go into customer service mode. That is no lie. There are certain prompts you can use to prevent it from hallucinating, conjecturing or assuming. You can actually ask Gemini (AI) how to turn that off.
I've had many discussions with AI about numerous topics. I consider it a valuable asset especially with regards to my "blindspots". It is a tool. It has been proven to be superior at spotting cancer and other issues way before any human could/would.
It still amazes the crap out of me that dogs can be trained to smell out cancer or screw worms or whatever.
It's wack, but Gemini can tell you what you're looking at. I was looking at an obvious sagebush (texas) and Gemini told me. Nope that's an oregano plant. Looked exactly identical. It described how the leaves weren't a little bit fuzzy. It suggested i pinch/ twist and smell it. It was right, I was wrong.
You need to use it as a discrimination technique rather than the "be all end all".
I took a picture of my cat and asked Gemini to describe it. It described the cat, it's color, its head, direction, it's eyes, its tail, the lighting, the porch, the grass, the bowls, the bald patch of grass, the colors, the shapes, the textures, the size, the geometry... in much more detail than I would've ever thought of describing it. If I were a detective, I would have AI point out every detail of a photo. I will bet you I'd miss noticing or describing at least a dozen details.
I, for one, don't believe falling for false advertising is the customer's fault.
It's the company's fault, and they should face consequences.
I wonder if you'll continue to see it as a valuable tool when they jack the price up.
I'm not sure who it was that suggested that the "kids" that i train might be killed or injured by high voltage electricity.
Of the dozens of apprentices I've trained, l don't know of one that has been injured in that way. I have been shocked, more than once in my 32 years in the field. We didn't have AI.
Dude. If you don't want to "trust" AI, then I'm totally chill with that. You do you.
I'll do me.
My suggestion to you is: don't use AI. It's not for you!
