#chatgpt don't know shit

[a-candle-maker]

not tagging the person bcs i don't want to call anyone out but like,,,, saw this one girl and her post formatting made it even look like a chatgpt generated thing... checked her other stuff to see and they all had that one formatting... thought i'd tell her and like. babe. you turning off asks just about confirms it for me, i mean imma just guess that you noticed lots of asks telling you the same and decided we're sooooooooo mean!! and ignored it

Yikes! ChatGPT will get special access to the reactionary sensational rightwing shitrag network with an actual bodycount that has been stoking the flames of anti-palestine sentiment in germany for decades (it's in Springer's foundational declaration) and combats any political event even slightly left of the christian democrats. And that's what all kinds of other publications will replace their journalists with.

Once I was working a shift with my coworker who I'm not particularly close with and I was telling him about how I was struggling a bit with this assignment for my script writing class and he dead serious said "you know you can use chatgpt if you don't want to do it" and never before have I had to utilize so much restraint not to insult someone after they gave me what they thought was kind and helpful advice.

i have learned today that people are sitting their kids down with voice mode on chatgpt so it can be the thing to talk to them/"teach" them because "chatgpt won't get annoyed with my kid like i do!" and using it as a replacement for interactions...

im sorry but the kids are gonna be so fucking cooked

'help me with this ai thing'

i cannot explain to you how little i want to do that

live footage of me telling AI my twilight opinions so it can remember them and push them to other ppl

[gender-euphowrya]

tv's on and it's the news and they're doing this report like "people are using AI to find christmas gift ideas :)" and. God. Fuck you.

i am so sick of people using chatgpt to generate descriptions for ebay items ughhhh

[lookninjas]

Every time I see someone talk about using ChatGPT to finish unfinished fics, I imagine someone trying that with my LOST/Glee crossover that I never wrote the fourth part of, and I almost want to see what would happen with that, I'm not going to lie.

My old PCP was incompetent enough that a part of me is grateful I got covid in 2021 because it put me in the ER and the doctor there found a whole fucking tumor in my neck before it y'know. Cut off my breathing more than it already was. The fucking thing went from the size of a dime to a walnut in 4 months.

I'd like to not make that bullshit any worse than it already is k thx

"i don't care if they make their whole way though uni with chatgpt" i think you guys are so internetpilled that you have forgotten there are actual jobs out there that require people to know what they are doing in any way possible or else people die

[flamewyrmz]

very tired of people using that fucking "omg you people can't do anything" tweet screenshot re: gen ai like i wish i could specifically remember the original context of it but i do remember that it was ableist and 90% of the time i see it used is ableist. and actually surprise! making fun of someone for struggling to write a 600 word essay is still ableist

[beyourghost]

well yeah the lowered reaction time associated with sleep deprivation is bad in a you're gonna get hit by a car kind of way. but also. i'm an hour later realizing i sat completely numb through an entire conversation about how no yeah ai is definitely a problem with kids but as adults we totally use ai responsibly and we just have to learn to see it as a tool and not a crutch and we don't have to worry about it replacing anyone. i'm only now fighting about it in my head. so if you think about it. sleep deprivation good actually

[original-begay-docrime]

all my homies hate generative ai and this included Character AI bots too

me and my homies support real artists who put their passion into their pieces instead of a machine who rips off the hard work of talented peeps

AI hasn't improved in 18 months. It's likely that this is it. There is currently no evidence the capabilities of ChatGPT will ever improve. It's time for AI companies to put up or shut up.

I'm just re-iterating this excellent post from Ed Zitron, but it's not left my head since I read it and I want to share it. I'm also taking some talking points from Ed's other posts. So basically:

We keep hearing AI is going to get better and better, but these promises seem to be coming from a mix of companies engaging in wild speculation and lying.

Chatgpt, the industry leading large language model, has not materially improved in 18 months. For something that claims to be getting exponentially better, it sure is the same shit.

Hallucinations appear to be an inherent aspect of the technology. Since it's based on statistics and ai doesn't know anything, it can never know what is true. How could I possibly trust it to get any real work done if I can't rely on it's output? If I have to fact check everything it says I might as well do the work myself.

For "real" ai that does know what is true to exist, it would require us to discover new concepts in psychology, math, and computing, which open ai is not working on, and seemingly no other ai companies are either.

Open ai has already seemingly slurped up all the data from the open web already. Chatgpt 5 would take 5x more training data than chatgpt 4 to train. Where is this data coming from, exactly?

Since improvement appears to have ground to a halt, what if this is it? What if Chatgpt 4 is as good as LLMs can ever be? What use is it?

As Jim Covello, a leading semiconductor analyst at Goldman Sachs said (on page 10, and that's big finance so you know they only care about money): if tech companies are spending a trillion dollars to build up the infrastructure to support ai, what trillion dollar problem is it meant to solve? AI companies have a unique talent for burning venture capital and it's unclear if Open AI will be able to survive more than a few years unless everyone suddenly adopts it all at once. (Hey, didn't crypto and the metaverse also require spontaneous mass adoption to make sense?)

There is no problem that current ai is a solution to. Consumer tech is basically solved, normal people don't need more tech than a laptop and a smartphone. Big tech have run out of innovations, and they are desperately looking for the next thing to sell. It happened with the metaverse and it's happening again.

In summary:

Ai hasn't materially improved since the launch of Chatgpt4, which wasn't that big of an upgrade to 3.

There is currently no technological roadmap for ai to become better than it is. (As Jim Covello said on the Goldman Sachs report, the evolution of smartphones was openly planned years ahead of time.) The current problems are inherent to the current technology and nobody has indicated there is any way to solve them in the pipeline. We have likely reached the limits of what LLMs can do, and they still can't do much.

Don't believe AI companies when they say things are going to improve from where they are now before they provide evidence. It's time for the AI shills to put up, or shut up.

llms don't work that way. all of those redditors are dumb kids who don't know what they're talking about. there are plenty of actual problems and harm with generative ai, please don't just make shit up
