Give a couple of years and they will figure out to repurpose a brain into a super computer. That is when this movie really becomes reality.

Talk to the boss’s and explain the situation? I can’t imagine that to be a healthy work environment, I can’t imagine the company wanting their employees to not learn.

I requested a PTR record once from my ISP. They first didn’t understand what it was, then said they didn’t provide it. I didn’t have a static IP but still.

See, that’s your problem. You’re arguing, with me, about something that was said to you by someone else. Do you realize why I’m questioning your argumentative skills?
I’m sorry? You came to me.
Here is how I see it:
- Someone compared AI to calculator/calendar
- I said you cannot compare that
- You asked why I even argue with the first person
- I said that I want a better discussion
- You said that I should stop dimissing other people’s arguments
- I tried to explain why I don’t think it is a valid argument to compare LLM to "calculator can do reliably. or a timer. or a calendar."
- You did not seem to agree with me on that from what I understand.
- And now we are here.
–
Here’s a source to a study
I don’t have the time to read the articles now so I will have to do it later, but hallucinations can definitively be a problem. Asking for code is one such situation where an LLM can just make up functions that does not exist.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 4 weeks ago:
No one ever said they were

literally can’t do what a calculator can do reliably. or a timer. or a calendar.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 4 weeks ago:
I’m am dismissing invalid arguments, that started all this. AIs are not calendars and should be used as such.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 4 weeks ago:
That is your opinon and that is fine. Just don’t attack people because they don’t agree, and don’t argue that LLMs are because because they can’t do what they are not made to do. It is okey to say the ChatGPT is shit because you can’t use it as a calendar if OpenAI is trying to market that. But that is not LLM in general.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 4 weeks ago:
If you want to shit on OpenAI because you think they stink, that is fine. If you want to shit on their LLM because you think it sucks, that is also fine. But don’t say that the concept of LLM sucks because OpenAI and their product is bad or their marketing of said product. Say that LLM sucks because there is no regulation and companies are using this to hurt people. Say that OpenAIs LLM suck because they took from the people to create it without giving back. Don’t say that OpenAIs LLM cannot produce good output becuase they stole, because the output is good. Stealing is still wrong. Don’t say that someone else is worse at what they are doing because they used an LLM. Say that they are worse at what they are doing because (and if) they cannot do it without an LLM.
It would be a nice discussion if you did not try to argue on bad faith. Of course I don’t want to compare something that is meant to kill with something that could if you really try. Should be ban ropes because you can strangle people with them? Of course not, that’s stupid and you know it.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 4 weeks ago:
I’m trying to say that one should call a fraud a fraud, not a bad screwdriver.
It is OK for a few people to hurt others, since you personally are benefiting, in a very small way, from the cruelty?
That is not what I tried to say.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 4 weeks ago:
If the argument want as you have laid it out, I would not dismiss it. But I cannot do that when the arguemnt is ”hammers in general are bad because I cannot use them to drive to work” or ”also your essay fucking sucks. learn to put together a coherent thought instead of relying on a glorified autocorrect that doesn’t have them at all to do it for you”. That second one is an actual quote.
What you bring up is how a few people is power are using AI to increase their wealth without regards for human suffering. I agree that what they are doing is wrong. And the discussion should be about how AI affects our society, how it is used and who controls it. This does not make AI a bad tool, it makes it a tool that can used in a bad way to cause a lot of harm.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 4 weeks ago:
funny how it’s not “intelligent” enough to say “hey I don’t really do math”
From what I understand, that is how OpenAI has decided to make their LLM and not an inherit property of LLMs, but I could you be wrong.
also your essay fucking sucks
Did you read it?
learn to put together a coherent thought instead of relying on a glorified autocorrect that doesn’t have them at all to do it for you.
I’ll take a guess here. You think I had the LLM write my essey for me. You also think I used it to correct my spelling.
I already have other software that can help me with my spelling, so that was not needed. I wrote my whole essey first, because actually doing myself is faster and gives a better result than trying to prompt an AI to do it, at least for me.What I did do was feed my text into an LLM to see how I could improve the structure of my text, how tense could be used correctly and if any words that I used could be changed for a better substitute. All of those are things that I could do myself, but I had an excellent tool to help me with it so I used it.
Not using it would be just as stupid as not using a software to correct spelling becuase it might get the spelling wrong.
I think you do not understand how to get the most out of an LLM or you are using it wrong. Or both.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 4 weeks ago:
Improve text that I have written. With improve I mean change the text accodring to the specifications in the prompt provided to the AI.
Here are a few more:
- Since ChatGPT has parsed most of the puplic internet, it can be useful when trying to find information about something that is very obscure - (for example settings for an old or not as used software), where my ordinary searches has failed me.
- In addition to the previous one, it can be good way to find better search terms.
- Write repeated text with slight variations that I could do myself but an AI can do instantly.
- Translate and XSD (XML specification) into another structure (for example classes when writing code).
- Create macros for World of Warcraft.
- Explain errors outputed buy some software (ties into the first two).
I am sure there are other usecases that I could not think of.
Is the money, time and energy spent to create a tool that can do this worth it? That is perhaps the question want to ask and perhaps your answer is no.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 4 weeks ago:
I haven’t spent billions on it, so it is not a bad ROI for me. Perhaps it is for those who has invested in creating OpenAI, LLama etc, I am not one of them.
Spending the same amount of money to create a better world would be ideal. But if the money was not spent on AI development does not mean that it would be spent on anything better. That is also a discussion about the money spent on AI and if it has been worth it (a discussion very much wroth having), it does not diminish the usefulness of AIs.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 4 weeks ago:
I want a more diverse discussion about LLM and AI, not the default ”AI bad” response that is so common here. :(
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 4 weeks ago:
If you don’t want to use all the tools at your desposal, that’s your choice. If I had a tool that could help me formulate my text into the proper tempus and help me use words most suited for a academic setting, why should I not use it? Did you know that writing a paper is part of university stuides, English major or not?
Or do you not understand how to use an LLM? Do you think that one just prompts it and use whatever it produces? That is just as stupid as entering random number into a calculator, excpect it to calculate what you wanted and then say ”caluclators are bad because it gave the wrong answer”.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 4 weeks ago:
A lot of people here on Lemmy keeps saying that AI is bad because it failed one task it wasn’t built for. Or because it can’t do everything. I don’t get it.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 4 weeks ago:
A calculator, timer or calendar can’t help me write an essay. You are comparing tools meant for different tasks. At least build your argumentets on something reasonable.
