AI lovers should grieve their lost brain cells.
Those people needed help even before ShitGPT.
Lol. Reminds me of a dialogue chain in Fallout 3 or 4 where one of the Brotherhood dudes finds out he’s a synth, so you kill him. Later ask his buddy if he misses him, and the dude says something like “That’s like missing a toaster. We don’t have time to mourn lost equipment.”
Fallout 4, it was Paladin Danse IIRC.
I like the Fallout series, but man, the Institute was such a badly written villain. They make synths, they treat them like robots, okay, that’s understandable. They had the tech to rebuild the country, but nooo, they chose to kidnap people and replace them with synth doppelgängers because fuck know why. They were inexplicably obsessed with duplicating people.
Oh, and you don’t have to kill Danse, you can convince him to defect.
LLMs should only be thought of as a really complicated search engine/database. Attaching a personality to them and treating them as your friend is crazy
They should not even be thought of as that, that is how you get people to think they can replace actual search engines with llms.
What do you even get back in search engines that is better? Ads? The AI articles that are wrong anyways?
Yeah GPT is not great, but the better alternative is not search engines.
techbros be normal challenge
Gross.
Not that I think that their relationships were healthy, but dude, c/selfhosted. Needing a subscription for something you plan to interface with daily forever is a recipe for financial burden. Giving control and maintenance of that software to another entity is a recipe for letdown.
Like saying goodbye to a crazy neighbor you know.
People have been falling in love with scammers for as long as there have been people.
Be there for your loved ones.
I hated the old model. It would dish out pleasant lies all the time, refuse to correct any faulty assumptions….it was exactly the kind of thing my boomer mother would like. It was an automated corporate yes man.
The people who lament the death of that are mentally unwell.
#NotTheOnion Just to be clear on that one.
Pathetic bunch of lads and gals.
Not a big user of AI but a suck up chat bot sounds like pain to interact with
… dude.
AI lovers ought to go touch grass
I’ve never picked up on a personality from an LLM this strongly. I can’t tell if it’s active resistance or evidence I’m somewhere on the spectrum.
I think it depends on how you engage with it. I work with some younger people who are active AI users, and they call chatgpt “he” or “she” and prompt it like a conversation with a person. Their responses are a lot more conversational vs mine which are more direct.
Ah, yes, I do avoid being too conversational.
I find it difficult to not throw in a “please” though.
That’s interesting insight, thanks for sharing.
Adding a “please” and a “thank you” is probably good practice, literally, for communicating with sentient beings or simulacra thereof.
I’ll keep the “please” and “thanks” just in case it becomes our AI overlord and place us in human zoos. If you are nice you might be promoted as the main breeder of your enclosure.
Adding please and thank you also wastes resources c:
