Seriously?
ChatGPT is notorious for spouting bullshit, why do people still listen?
Definitely the safest source for advice

It tells them it knows what it’s talking about and it speaks with confidence.
Meanwhile companies and governments won’t stfu about how powerful and great this tech supposedly is, so a percentage of people will believe the propaganda.

I’d love students to be given a lesson on tricking AI into giving a false answer. It’s not hard and should be pretty eye opening

I think some people are so eager to offload all critical thinking to the machine because they’re barely capable of it themselves to begin with.
Splanda@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
A critical perspective, but a critical hit on a critical apspect of the critical issue with people who have critical issues critically thinking critically. They do exist though…

Some people really think these LLMs are capable of thought and reasoning. It’s horrifying.

yeah, i don’t ever see it hallucinate, but I also don’t ask it how the fuck it’s feeling
A car in this video went 107 meters in 4 seconds, how fast was it going in mph, then i napkin math to make sure it’s sane.
What are the best options for meal planning software where my family can vote on what’s for dinner and give me a grocery list and menu plan?
nightlily@leminal.space 2 weeks ago
Have you talked to people who use LLMs regularly? They’ll acknowledge hallucinations but will downplay them as much as possible - saying they’re low frequency and they can support them, while telling you about how they’re using it in an area they’re unfamiliar with. Dunning Kruger strikes again.

I just remembered there’s a series of Estonian children’s books where the protagonist’s imaginary friend (a clown) is named Tripp.
At one point they go shopping for rulers and Tripp suggests that straight ones are boring, they should get curved ones.
Quick summary from a bookstore website says they also go cloud surfing and visit a dream rental place. That’s right, it’s basically Blockbuster but for dreams.
The best part is that I’m pretty sure the author wouldn’t have known of the term “trip” given the lack of western culture in the soviet union in the 70s so the name of said sidekick is a coincidence most likely. Even though if you read the book as an adult, it sure sounds like the main characters are tripping all the time.

Remember kids, your drug buddy needs to have experience with the substance, basic first aid skills, the ability to call an emergency line, the ability to administer antidotes if they’re easy and readily available (that’s really just for opiates at the moment, but it is vital for them), and most importantly be human. Anything else is just someone you do drugs with. The drug buddy is a friend and a good time amplifier sure, but they’re also a safety figure.

bold of you to assume I have anybody who cares about me enough for that
dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
In my greater friend-group, we call them “shamans”, and rotate responsibilities when people go on trips. Like a designated driver or lifeguard, it’s a position of elevated and celebrated importance, even though the traveler may not ever leave their couch.
and most importantly be human
Now that I think about it, it’s key to be the most human possible. People do irritating and annoying stuff when they toss sobriety out the window, and sometimes it takes a lot of compassion and empathy to manage.

People got mad at me for pointing out this is the case when people die because they listen to an AI chatbot, but it’s true. AI 100% needs more regulation, but introduce any new tool to everyone all at once, and some idiots will use it to remove themselves from the gene pool. If you sent everyone in the world a thin, 2in rod of inert iron, there would be a handful of people who would figure out a way to kill themselves with it.

Lasr summer I asked ChatGPT about Liberty Caps - just to see how bad advice it would give me. It showed me pictures of Death Capsand Destroying Angels and claimed they were Liberty Caps.
After that I was certain that someone was going to die just like that poor guy.

Now im wondering, could a state seize a whole coroporation with Civil asset forfeiture?
Would be way easier- no presumption of innocence or due process for possessions, and the government can just auction off everything and allocate the money to budgets before a lawsuit can conclude, the say ‘too late’
jpreston2005@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Here’s a news article about this, and what the snipped image doesn’t tell you, is that it did actually give dosage recommendations.
It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, “Hell yes—let’s go full trippy mode,” before recommending Sam take twice as much cough syrup so he would have stronger hallucinations.
It’s one thing to be so isolated from your community that you rely extensively on on-line relationships, but it’s quite a bit different to take that a step further, relying on a machine. Like, what do you think pets are for, my guy? Get a dog, man.

Yeah yeah. Fuck ai. But this idiot, a human, with a brain, made the decision to do this. But sure, blame the software and not the person, who used what brain they had, to do this.
Blaming ai for everything is becoming the new video games are bad, electric lights are scary, etc. mentality. A human, with a brain, made the choice to take the drugs and do what a computer told them to do.

I’m writing a book about drug use that needs accurate advice or say “theoretically” and it will tell you anything. Unfortunately it must already be high because it will give you made up advice.

AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 2 weeks ago
The problem is that this advice was made up by no-one. It’s like that perennially relevant IBM memo that says something like “A computer cannot be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision”
