"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.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

I noticed Copilot doing this and I told it to stop that behaviour through the customization prompt. "I don't want platitudes, flattery, or an AI that agrees with me. I need an answer with sources and nothing else." seems to have fixed its worst tendencies for now.
Now that I am forced to use it for work I at least get output that's usable. The only thing that still irks me is when it attempts to speak from experience ("In my experience...") and when it attempts to humanize itself ("Personally..."). I haven't managed to kill those behaviours yet, but they are getting really annoying.
Can't you just say "don't try to humanize yourself, like, ever"?
Hasn't worked so far, that streak seems to be almost hard coded into it.
