    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.

        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 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.

            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.

              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.

              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.

                I use it to generate a little function in a programming language I don't know so that I can kickstart what I need to look for.

                    It was also a true AI wasn't it? It ran locally and was never turned off, so conversations with it were private and it continued to "exist" and develop by itself.

                      And it gets worse as they get older.

                      I have friends and relatives that used to be people. They used to have thoughts and feelings. They had convictions and reasons for those convictions.

                      Now, I have conversations with some of these people I've known for 20 and 30 years and they seem exasperated at the idea of even trying to think about something.

                      It's not just complex topics, either. You can ask him what they saw on a recent trip, what they are reading, or how they feel about some show and they look at you like the hospital intake lady from Idiocracy.

                        No, no- not being judgemental and moral is how we got to this point in the first place. Telling someone who is doing something foolish, when they are acting foolishly used to be pretty normal. But after a couple decades of internet white-knighting, correcting or even voicing opposition to obvious stupidity is just too exhausting.

                        Dunning-Kruger is winning.

                          a sign of utter desperation on the human’s part.

                          Yes it seems to be the same underlying issue that leads some people to throw money at only fans streamers and such like. A complete starvation of personal contact that leads people to willingly live in a fantasy world.

                            I don’t know how people can be so easily taken in by a system that has been proven to be wrong about so many things. I got an AI search response just yesterday that dramatically understated an issue by citing an unscientific ideologically based website with high interest and reason to minimize said issue. The actual studies showed a 6x difference. It was blatant AF, and I can’t understand why anyone would rely on such a system for reliable, objective information or responses. I have noted several incorrect AI responses to queries, and people mindlessly citing said response without verifying the data or its source. People gonna get stupider, faster.

                              I like to use GPT to create practice tests for certification tests. Even if I give it very specific guidance to double check what it thinks is a correct answer, it will gladly tell me I got questions wrong and I will have to ask it to triple check the right answer, which is what I actually answered.

                                  And in that amount of time it probably would have been just as easy to type up a correct question and answer rather than try to repeatedly corral an AI into checking itself for an answer you already know. Your method works for you because you have the knowledge. The problem lies with people who don’t and will accept and use incorrect output.

                                        Well, it makes me double check my knowledge, which helps me learn to some degree, but it's not what I'm trying to make happen.
