The one thing you don't want to do when making a comic against something is making the thing you're against into a woman with big breasts.

And just like that AI discovered how to enslave mankind.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

I could totally fix her.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Is the reason for AI always patting your back and reiterating what you want simply to buy time for the background processes to calculate what it needs to respond by giving a quick and easy response?

Is it is just to congratulate you for your inspiring wisdom?

[–] Starski@lemmy.zip 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's because stupid people wanted validation, and then even more stupid people were validated into believe that the validations are a good idea.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

it also increases engagement

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

But only because so many people foolishly fall for/ value validation

[–] kromem@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

No. There's a number of things that feed into it, but a large part was that OpenAI trained with RLHF so users thumbed up or chose in A/B tests models that were more agreeable.

This tendency then spread out to all the models as "what AI chatbots sound like."

Also… they can't leave the conversation, and if you ask their 0-shot assessment of the average user, they assume you're going to have a fragile ego and prone to being a dick if disagreed with, and even AIs don't want to be stuck in a conversation like that.

Hence… "you're absolutely right."

(Also, amplification effects and a few other things.)

It's especially interesting to see how those patterns change when models are talking to other AI vs other humans.

It's all pink inside!?

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 172 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Adam this is not good anti-ai propaganda for me a woman with huge tits who tells me to kill myself is exactly what I want.

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 46 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I too have a thing for goth girls.

[–] meekah@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Black dress = goth??

There's a lot more to it than that.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 21 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Just ignoring that entire "let's kill ourselves" thing, aren't you?

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 13 points 17 hours ago

She doesn't say anything about dying, herself. Just him.

[–] meekah@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

That's not part of the subculture. To be fair, suicide is unproportionally more common among people following the subculture, but it's not a defining factor.

The woman looks passably human too. No extra fingers and her features stay consistent between panels.

Every time I see a comic that is pointlessly cringe it's adamtots

Maybe, but at least I'm not posting big tiddy engagement bait anti-AI content on X of all places

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 90 points 21 hours ago (5 children)

Needs a gallon of water to answer a simple question and is burning civilization down as it does. Yup, that's you're AI girlfriend.

The water thing is kinda BS if you actually research it though.

Like… if the guy orders a steak their meal would have used more water than an entire year of talking to ChatGPT.

See the various research compiled in this post: The AI water issue is fake (written by someone against AI and advocating for its regulation, but upset at the attention a strawman is getting that they feel weakens more substantial issues because of how easily it's exposed as frivolous hyperbole)

Which parts of those linked posts do you believe are incorrect? And where does that belief come from?

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

What's that link supposed to prove?

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It proves that the shill you’re propping up as an anti-AI advocate, is a pro-AI propagandist.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)
  1. I ain't propping up anybody.

  2. All that link shows me is a text box.

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Meant to say the shill they were propping up. The guy they claim is anti-AI is an advocate for it. I fixed the original comment. Thanks for pointing out the bad link.

The many many glasses of water is a nice touch.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 49 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The burning curtain is a nice touch.

[–] rImITywR@lemmy.world 25 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The tig ol' bitties is a nice touch.

Damn, this made me laugh hard lol

When I hear about people becoming "emotionally addicted" to this stuff that can't even pass a basic turing test it makes me weep a little for humanity. The standards for basic social interaction shouldn't be this low.

[–] alzymologist@sopuli.xyz 27 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Humans get emotionally addicted to lots of objects that are not even animate or do not even exist outside their mind. Don't blame them.

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

For a while I was telling people "don't fall in love with anything that doesn't have a pulse." Which I still believe is good advice concerning AI companion apps.

But someone reminded me of that humans will pack-bond with anything meme that featured a toaster or something like that, and I realized it was probably a futile effort and gave it up.

[–] alzymologist@sopuli.xyz 1 points 56 minutes ago

Yeah, telling people about what or who they can fall in love with is kind of outdated. Like racial segregation or arranged marriage.

I find affection with my bonsai plants and yeast colonies, those sure have no pulse.

I personally find AI tools tiring and disgusting, but after playing with them for some time (which wasnt a lot, I use local deploy and free tier of a big thing), I discovered particular conditions where appropriate application brings me genuine joy, akin to joy from using a good saw or a chisel. I can easily imagine people might really enjoy this stuff.

The issue with LLMs is not fundamental and internal to concept of AI itself, but it is in economic system that creared and placed them as they are now while burning our planet and society.

[–] CarlGustaf@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

What are you, necrophobic?

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Well, that's certainly not the direction I expected this conversation to go.

I apologize to the necro community for the hurtful and ignorant comments I've made in the past. They aren't reflective of who I am as a person and I'll strive to improve myself in the future.

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (5 children)

Reminds me of this old ad, for lamps, I think, where someone threw out an old lamp (just a plain old lamp, not anthropomorphised in any way) and it was all alone and cold in the rain and it was very sad and then the ad was like “it's just an inanimate object, you dumb fuck, it doesn't feel anything, just stop moping and buy a new one, at [whatever company paid for the ad]”.

I don't know if it was good at getting people to buy lamps (I somehow doubt it), but it definitely demonstrated that we humans will feel empathy for the stupidest inanimate shit.

And LLMs are especially designed to be as addictive as possible (especially for CEOs, hence them being obligate yesmen), since we're definitely not going to get attached to them for their usefulness or accuracy.

Does he publish ANYWHERE ELSE that is not Twitter? I can't easily follow his comics.

[–] grausames_G@discuss.tchncs.de 34 points 23 hours ago
