To be honest I have less trouble with the LLM than my last Gen z assistant.

that's the problem, man. people are becoming too independent on their little bots, eventually they'll forget what they are and they will become exactly what the bot decides, (that young girl who M'ed herself) and our families can easily fall victims to these things without our knowledge and then one day they're gone. it's a poison to the mind, it makes you super lazy and keeps on giving you what you want even if it's not true, and people believe it, Imagine what would your average joe think if you brought to him a person who knows everything about everything? eventually joe will believe anything the person says.
I've used it once this year to check on its progress, never since then. But I still find it very hard to search the web without it popping up everysigletime

I've been using Lumo to ask technical questions re: Linux and it has been pretty good for that. It doesn't think or feel and I think most of us are plainly aware that it's an overgrown stats engine hooked up to a dictionary.

@jmcs Expensive toys (well, the cost for the companies maintaining them, I've never paid for anything AI related) are exactly what I've been using them as. First thing I did after finding out about the GPT 3 playground back in 2023 was getting it to write the most heinous shit, usually in the form of fake scripts for TV shows where something completely uncharacteristic that would never happen in the show does, and then showing it to a friend who wondered if I just fucking with him when I said the bot wrote it.
Honestly using ai for coding takes longer to fix mistakes then it does to just do it yourself

I've found the same to be true for many tasks. It's almost like it isn't a great tool or something.

@darkghost They could probably have made much more profit and caused far less headaches for everyone barring the art dilemma if they had leaned more into it being a revolution in the entertainment side of things like completely procedural text adventures, dynamic NPC dialogue/interactions in video games if you go off the beaten path, more intelligent enemies for training and offline modes in shooter/other multiplayer games, PLACEHOLDERS (and not replacements) for assets in games, etc. than trying to act like it'll be like a real life Halo Cortana any day now that helps you excel in everything with some amazing knowledge and advice.
And if I am talking to an AI chatbot, I'm always taking what it says with a grain of salt. (Not helping that too many llm ai stuff is rushed to crap and ends up telling you to cook something that can make you sick.)

AI thoughts and observations — Doing some research lately and I saw that the market cap of Nvidia is larger than big pharma, all 23 of the largest big pharma companies... combined. The next data point came in the form of these stats: the amount invested is 17 times that of dot-com and 4 times that of subprime mortgages. In the US it was responsible for a third of GDP growth last year. Despite that, the tech is kind of unproven with vague ways it can help the average person. Writing things with...
