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.

They should ban that shit until you graduate college.the kids who are nerds will always figure out a way. The rest who are not into computers and such definitely should stay the fuck away. If you're not careful you'll become a zombie that works to pay for access to his brains as a rental subscription.
That's just so messed up. It should not just be banned but down right illegal to sell an AI subscription if the data used was stolen from the public in the first place.
The health of the nation requires a citizenry capable of critical thinking to draw upon to manage and direct the fate of the nation. Now, obviously, the wealthy don't want anyone but themselves to be capable of such a thing. So here we are.
Then teach them media literacy and critical thinking skills.
I remember having study hall twice a week in high school and wondering why I didn’t just have a block of time like that every day to complete my assignments. It seems that having something like this with faculty supervising may be the only way to ensure AI isn’t being used.
Or assignments where you need to give a presentation (where you can use bullet points but need you put it in your own words on the fly) followed by Q&A. Could help with the crippling social anxiety that seems to be getting more common, too, if it was regular enough.
One generation from "don't trust wikipedia" to "just ask chatGPT."
It's a start.
Indeed. Teal'c impression.... Stargate TV show for those unsure, watch it if you enjoy sci fi and scenery from BC, not the best scenery for bc of course you gotta visit or watch Psych for that stuff, though different genre but you get few comedy detective 40min episode series in general, plus who doesn't love Shawn and Gus? For those that watched it.
From what I can tell, students need to learn online searches are tools, but you have to still understand why they give the correct answer. Or not (give the correct one), I've googled same issue but worded just slightly differently and got the opposite answer (usually after seeing the first response was incorrect, then I reword and gives me the opposite)
Mean I learned how to use searches, be specific only include relevant words....been doing it for decades now. Nope one slight change in my search gives the opposite ai answer. Fuck that technology is limited, opposite answers other day with similar but not exactly same query. If anything it's making people stupid. Kids need to learn critical thinking, why I know answers are incorrect when I see it, can bring in knowledge to determine if it fits other facts.
If only all places made sure to not let kids using it until they got proper skills to parse their results in a mindful and logical way.
Otherwise you get people believing the first result, and for anyone say over 35(ish) early Internet you had to try many times and go to past the first page of results to find shat you were looking for.
The fact that this phrase is revolutionary and newsworthy makes this world so dystopian that it's hard to believe.
