    I don't understand what people even use it for.

    I use it many times a day for coding and solving technical issues. But I don't recognize what the article talks about at all. There's nothing affective about my conversations, other than the fact that using typical human responses (like "thank you") seems to increase the chances of good responses. Which is not surprising since it matches the patterns that you want to evoke in the training data better.

      If you’re running into typo type issues, I encourage you to install or configure your linter plugin, they are great for this!

        Isn’t the movie ‘Her’ based on this premise?

        Yes, but what this movie failed to anticipate was the visceral anger I feel when I hear that stupid AI generated voice. I’ve seen too many fake videos or straight up scams using it that I now instinctively mistrust any voice that sounds like male or femaleAI.wav.

        Could never fall in love with AI voice, would always assume it was sent to steal my data so some kid can steal my identify.

          AI and ads... I think that is the next dystopia to come.

          Think of asking chatGPT about something and it randomly looks for excuses* to push you to buy coca cola.

            I know a few people who are genuinely smart but got so deep into the AI fad that they are now using it almost exclusively.

            They seem to be performing well, which is kind of scary, but sometimes they feel like MLM people with how pushy they are about using AI.

              These same people would be dating a body pillow or trying to marry a video game character.

              The issue here isn’t AI, it’s losers using it to replace human contact that they can’t get themselves.

                I kind of see it more as a sign of utter desperation on the human's part. They lack connection with others at such a high degree that anything similar can serve as a replacement. Kind of reminiscent of Harlow's experiment with baby monkeys. The videos are interesting from that study but make me feel pretty bad about what we do to nature. Anywho, there you have it.

                      People also don't realize how incredibly stupid humans can be. I don't mean that in a judgemental or moral kind of way, I mean that the educational system has failed a lot of people.

                      There's some % of people that could use AI for every decision in their lives and the outcome would be the same or better.

                      That's even more terrifying IMO.

                          I know we generally hate AI and I do for creativity or cutting jobs but chatgpt is really handy for searches like "family attractions near me". Where I live these events are sporadic and not generally visible on the likes of ticketmaster - even if they were the website is terrible for browsing events.

                              I was convinced about 20 years ago that at least 30% of humanity would struggle to pass a basic sentience test.

                                There's a few people I know who use it for boilerplate templates for certain documents, who then of course go through it with a fine toothed comb to add relevant context and fix obvious nonsense.

                                I can only imagine there are others who aren't as stringent with the output.

                                Heck, my primary use for a bit was custom text adventure games, but ChatGPT's has a few weaknesses in that department (very, very conflict adverse for beating up bad guys, etc.). There's probably ways to prompt engineer around these limitations, but a) there's other, better suited AI tools for this use case, b) text adventure was a prolific genre for a bit, and a huge chunk made by actual humans can be found here - ifdb.org, c) real, actual humans still make them (if a little artsier and moody than I'd like most of the time), so eventually I stopped.

                                    That utter-desparation is engineered into our civilization.

                                    What happens when you prevent the "inferiors" from having living-wage, while you pour wallowing-wealth on the executives?

                                    They have to overwork, to make ends meet, is what, which breaks parenting.

                                    Then, when you've broken parenting for a few generatios, the manufactured ocean-of-attachment-disorder manufactures a plethora of narcissism, which itself produces mass-shootings.

                                    2024 was down 200 mass-shootings, in the US of A, from the peak of 700/year, to only 500.

                                    You are seeing engineered eradication of human-worth, for moneyarchy.

                                    Isn't ruling-over-the-destruction-of-the-Earth the "greatest thrill-ride there is"?

                                    We NEED to do objective calibration of the harm that policies & political-forces, & put force against what is actually harming our world's human-viability.

                                    Not what the marketing-programs-for-the-special-interest-groups want us acting against, the red herrings..

                                    They're getting more vicious, we need to get TF up & begin fighting for our species' life.
