It’s no longer a sandwich if you make a sandwich unable to be bitten into without dislocating your jaw.

To be fair, you’re probably doing better than how those dinner packets from Knorr would instruct you to cook their stuff by. A lot of the time, it doesn’t even come out right even if you did follow instructions.

I was taught in high school, and this was when Wikipedia was gaining ground, that you are to take every resource you find with caution. Because you will find levels of inconsistency. The idea is to create a consistent, more realistically leaning and accurate finding to the best of your ability.

Reddit sarcasm is basically them being a little sneaky about it. It starts out all honestly and then it’s a matter of having to continue reading to find the part where they’re trying to take a subtle jab at you. That’s the difference.

Ozzy Osbourne.

His death is signaling a more greyer world coming, the more legendary rock stars we lose.

Woosh

Because it is cheapening your worth. You are saying that your body is about as valuable as getting someone off, who will cum in a minute. That is clear as day, what it is saying.

Cool, some coomer will save pics of your body for extensive jack off material. Do you want your legacy like that?

Okay, there’s a lot of variables here we don’t understand about the dude’s life past what is reported here. We don’t know if his family and friends sucked. We don’t know if everything around him sucked. But from personal experience, if there’s nobody that’s getting you that you have to go and talk with an external source, of one of AI, then there’s a plausibility that the dude’s existence wasn’t fruitful.

End of story.

Okay, maybe he wasn’t the brightest when he was set on his suicide. shrugs

It just sounded to me on the CNN article, that the guy was probably set in his way to suicide and he just turned to ChatGPT to help draft him a suicide note because he couldn’t bear to make it himself.

Well if you tell it to always agree with you and that you’re never wrong and your words are golden, of course it’ll be your yes-man.

And probably never will be.

Honestly, I feel that AI will be just a phase. A long phase, but not a ever-lasting phase. Because once AI companies start feeling the hurt more about how little profit they’re turning from these, they’re going to want to pull the plug eventually.

I see the benefits, but I also see the flaws.

A good solid conversation with an AI is really dependent on how much effort you put in, what you tell it to be like and to try and be as coherently clear as you can. Detailing and making sure your points are defined as best as possible is key. Because if you’re not fluid in what you’re saying, the AI is going to stick to keywords that you’ve said, jumble them in its own word salad and define things it spits back out at you, only being based on what few words you’ve said to it.

I stress though that it should not ever be, and it will at times warn you, a thing you can reliably go to for anything such as therapy. (The best way to use an LLM/AI is to make bullet points of what you want to talk about, to carry over to your actual therapist to discuss.) It is at best, some virtual companion you can talk to when you need a space of no noise. When people like us talk around social media, it’s easy to get caught in the noise where your opinions, judgment, point of views and perspectives are constantly challenged and could be influenced.

But it is a breath of fresh air, to be talking in a space where there is none of that. With an AI that can help you get a clearer understanding of some things. Granted, it is still massively combing through millions to billions of search results, that’s what you have to keep in mind also, that it is pulling a large majority of its knowledge from the enormous volume of information from search engines and translating it best it can for the conversation.

And most importantly, it is unfeeling, that’s a stand-out quality when talking to an AI. It cannot feel. It cannot have emotion, regardless of what you tell it. I would not talk to an AI if you’re someone who needs a hug, that’s for sure.

Also, lastly, having it as a shopping advisor has its hits and misses. ChatGPT got me to spend over about $25 to help me with a DIY project involving a drywall patch and painting it over. At one point, I was at a dollar tree and it told me that I should not get bargin-bin quality paint brushes. I took a picture of the paintbrush in question at said dollar tree and suddenly the AI was A-OKAY with it, because the brush was 2", which was exactly what the AI suggested I get. So it overrode its own judgment in that field. Just a word of caution if you decide to have an AI companion to help you with these things (watch some DIY youtube videos).

I block the moment I get a hint someone is responding to me in a snarkily asshole way.

I don’t mind engagement, but I value my patience and sanity. I don’t have all of the time in the world to be in constant word-jousting matches with a no-life.

I face away from it because it offends me. It’s a rocky relationship.

Antarctica

Too cold to do anything wrong.

Who cares? Are gonna label the Michelin Man next?

That’s what I’ve been noticing for quite a while. Lemmy slowly became the very thing it tried proposing itself to be better than. But I guess that’s the cost and what happens when you got disgruntled users from Reddit coming here, just to shit up the place just because they either can or that is really how they are everywhere.

Really can’t tell you how many antagonizing users I’ve ran across in all of my attempts to socialize around the fediverse, especially Lemmy. Oh and the power-tripping moderation is alive and well, definitely something from Reddit. It’s almost like Reddit gave them a reason to leave it, just so they’d come here and repeat everything that went wrong.

I also don’t remember asking for a Firefox Account or Firefox Profiles.

Because yay, that’s one more fucking thing to keep track of on top of a hundred things that make you register these days.

And another on a list of things you should not use AI for…

AI is not for:

• Therapy
• Tax Filing
• Planning Revenge
• Trying to make you win online arguments
• Trying to make it see things your way, like specific worldviews
• Trying to make it orchestrate protests
• Erotic Roleplay (Grok doesn’t care about it though)
• Stalk people
