    Wow, it turns out “Really convincing-sounding chatbot” isn’t as all-purpose as was hoped.

    I mean, legit, it’s impressive how detailed and precise (and often wrong) it can get, but impressive isn’t the same as useful.

    I guess AI image generation probably has made concept art mockups quicker for some.

      I tried to use it for help in Fallout 3 recently. I didn’t want spoilers, so I didn’t want to just use a walkthrough or wiki that often just tells you the answer and stuff you didn’t want to be told. I thought it would be clever if the bot could tell me little clues to questions like, “Is the key I need even in this building?”

      It made up such insane things! Like, “The NPC who carries the key is a ghoul mamed Chlamydia Jane. She’s located at such and such.”

      Chlamydia. Jane.

      Some robot had the key. He was in a small room I missed.

      People who can’t find any use for it are those who are determined to hate it at all costs.

      Cooking and weight loss alone is worth $20 a month for me and that’s just scratching the surface.

        I’m not sure an AI nutritionist in every kitchen is worth burning the environment/economy down.

          I am sure you’re a hypocrite when it comes to energy expenditure. My footprint is probably smaller than yours.

          Fuck me for improving in a way YOU don’t approve, right?

            Is it an improvement though? You’ve just gotten rid of cookbooks and basic nutrition and are relying on a Chatbot that’s going to lie to you eventually if it doesn’t already.

            Do you ever fact check it to make sure it’s giving you good advice?
