"Hi. I hope this date finds you well" stuff. Heh, I'd cancel too.
Fuck AI
"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.
I'm always suspicious of tweets where the author defeats a strawman but this followup post has me pretty convinced of its inauthenticity

No, I have literally never done that. I have never once in my life confused the two lol
That's a really weird reason to think it's fake. There are plenty of reasons, not least that it's on the internet at all, but this describes a very normal human thought error. I understand it's not the type of mistake any individual person would necessarily make, but if you don't understand that some people definitely would, I think you could use more insight into the variety of personalities and thought processes which exist.
I was suspicious it was fake already because it's written like an attention-seeking LinkedIn post. Then the followup reads like a "oops, I didn't mean to post that picture...but since you all liked it..." post everyone sees through on Myspace. Who writes like that to their friends?
Just talking with someone the other day and in the conversation they said “I asked ChatGPT…” about something being discussed. I immediately ceased to give weight to their input. Either they thought they were flexing by namedropping AI or too lazy to do their own thinking. Either way, they instantly lost me.
Three years ago when ChatGPT was starting to trickle down to the boomers, I was at a wedding where the brides father held a speech. It was the most generic nonsense I have ever heard and at the end he proudly said that this speech was written with ChatGPT. He wasn‘t even embarrassed.
My dad just used some form of AI to hallucinate a "song" for Mom and their anniversary. He got real mad when I said I didn't want to hear it. Both Mom and I have degrees in music and play an instrument or two. He still couldn't figure out why it mattered.
telling a date that u use a chatbot to decide is lame
Using the chat bot to make your plans in the first place is even more lame.
I wouldn't say "more", but it's still lame. Announcing that you used an LLM shows you're ai-pilled enough to think that's a brag
Biggest mistake: showing her you don’t care.
If you want to win anyone’s heart you gotta be vulnerable, put in some effort that comes from within yourself. And that’s scary, because making the wrong choice can backfire.
But flat out saying “have some fancy schmamcy chatgtp on the house ma’am” is the equivalent of “personality? Me? Nah.”.
Using AI for stuff like this => IS <= disgusting, most people just haven’t caught on yet.
