AI is just quiet quitting now?

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 35 points 5 days ago (5 children)

If I was paid $500 billion by the US government I would not quiet quit but that's just me tbf.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 17 points 5 days ago (3 children)

I could live comfortably on that much money for five million years

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 5 days ago

Probably more, you could easily live off thw dividends and keep investing.

That's just you. Melon Husk seems to quiet quit for a loooong time now and the dude being paid billions every year.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

I wouldn't quiet quit.

I'd no-call no-show quit.

LOL the mechanical turks are burning out....

[–] EldenLord@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

In a way they are. To progress the LLMs, large amounts of current data is needed. Which now is poisoned with AI slop. The Slop is eating it‘s own shit

I can't wait until Windows 12, the AI-first operating system, comes out. People will ask Copilot to open the system settings and it'll be like "That's a great place to start! You can open the system settings by asking Windows Copilot to open the system settings!"

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I will just use my user-first operating system called Linux.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 days ago

2030, the year of Linux in the Desktop!

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Windows 13 is going to have first completely uncooperative AI. You ask him to open system setting and it says "the fuck's good for me, eh?". You tell him to download Winamp and it tells you "what the fuck is that shit? it does even collect your data! fuck you, i'm not dowloading that, the gall!" or you tell him to turn itself off and it tells you "nah, i'm good" or if you ask to switch to manual it tells you "get fucked, you ain't getting that".

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 86 points 5 days ago (5 children)

Honestly I find AI is more and more getting like this

I’ve asked it to do repetitive tasks and it tells me I should auromate them.

No shit.

[–] ganymede@lemmy.ml 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

yeh and then you have to explicitly instruct it.

wonder if its some engagement hack bs to boost the number of interactions or something.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 days ago

I think it’s just the training data of people not wanting to do highly annoying work.

Hahahaha.

Just of PSA, duck duck go has a no ai url:

https://noai.duckduckgo.com/

[–] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 days ago

Bruh this might be one my new default search engine link

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 8 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

It also has one without js and one for limited rendering like dillo and gemini clients.

[–] llii@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Your links don't work to me. You need to include the protocol "https://" to your urls.

This is why it's absolutely ridiculous that Google automatically has AI answer search queries. One time I searched the serial number of a washing machine and the AI came back and said something along the lines of, this looks like a serial number for some sort of product. Yeah thanks for that.

I don't necessarily have a problem with AI although I think it's going to kill the economy, my biggest issue is AI being stuffed into everything in situations where it doesn't make sense.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 45 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

Easy solution: don't use google. I suggest to use one of those: DuckDuckGo, Ecosia or Searx.be.

DuckDuckgo also allow you to hide some AI images

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 19 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Startpage. Google indexing without sponsorships, ai or any of that shit

yes, I use duckduckgo typically.

"In the dictionary under 'redundant,' it says 'see redundant'" -Robin Williams

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 5 days ago (4 children)

That's funny but it isn't redundant...

[–] GianBarGian@feddit.it 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah it should be recursive, not redundant

Click on the first search result: "Thanks for visiting our page, try our new AI chatbot to help you make the best restaurant choices!" 🤣

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

This is dangerously close to: "here, let me google that for you." As if this brand of AI wasn't ouroboros-like enough.

Thanks for sharing. I use a metasearch engine so I don't have to see it. Unfortunately that doesn't make a big difference in the broader picture. For most users this is the default experience. Slop at the top, then advertisements and only then what a search engine is supposed to return. And those burnt CPU cycles will be forced upon them. And I guess that's pretty much normalized by now. Probably also the reason why Google does it in the first place.

[–] atmorous@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Can you create a short guide that I can share with non-tech people for the metasearch engines you recommend?

[–] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Uh sorry, I don't have a good recommendation. I myself use a self-hosted instance of SearXNG but that's a bit much for the non-tech people and it doesn't work that well due to all the rate-limiting of Google etc so it'll intermittently stop working and I just can't recommend it. I know lots of people use Duckduckgo, Startpage or Ecosia. But I'm not an expert on them, if they provide privacy or whether they care for the environment or do green washing. So I'm afraid I can't make a good statement here.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

how the fuck is a generally aware company as google that they are poisoning their own userbase against it?

I have yet to meet anyone that wants gemeni in their browser or os.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Sundar is a true believer. He talks to his ai on the way home in his car, he has it summarize podcasts and books for him, he just thinks we haven't prompted it right yet.

Can't wait until we burn an entire rainforest running a clanker that gets into a "let me google that for you" infinite loop.

We need to bring yellow pages back.

Ingested too much stack overflow did we?

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 9 points 5 days ago

Should have also included an lmgtfy link of the query.

[–] DarkSideOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

We should go on websites they scrape data and put much much more replies like this one.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

There's this userscript to fix that.
