Well, that escalated quickly.

Had it write some simple shader yesterday cause I have no idea how those work. It told me about how to use the mix and step functions to optimize for GPUs, then promptly added some errors I had to find myself. Actually not that bad cause now after fixing it I do understand the code. Very educational.

This is my experience using it for electrical engineering and programming. It will give me 80% of the answer, and the remainder 20% is hidden errors. Turns out the best way to learn math from GPT is to ask it a question you know the answer (but not the process) to. Then, reverse engineer the process and determine what mistakes were made and why they impact the result.

Alternatively, just refer to existing materials in the textbook and online. Then you learn it right the first time.

thank you for that last sentence because I thought I was going crazy reading through these responses.

Some people retain information easier by doing than reading.

ok, I finally figured out my view on this I believe. I was worried I was being a grumpy old man who was just yelling at the AI (still probably am, but at least I can articulate why I feel this is a negative reply to my concerns)

It's not reproducible.

I personally don't believe asking an AI with a prompt then "troubleshooting" it is the best educational tool for the masses to be promoted to each-other. It works for some individuals, but as you can see the results will always vary with time.

There are so many promotional and awesome educational tools that emphasize the "doing" part instead of reading. You don't need to ask an AI prompt then try to fix all the horrible shit when there is always a statistically likely chance you will never be able to solve it and the AI gave you an impossible answer to fix.

I get some people do it, some people succeed, and some people are maybe so lonely that this interaction is actually preferable since it seems like some weird sort of collaboration. The reality is that the AI was trained unethically and has so many moral and ethical repercussions that just finding a decent educator or forum/discord to actually engage with is whole magnitudes better for society and your own mental processes.

Shaders are black magic so understandable. However, they're worth learning precisely because they are black magic. Makes you feel incredibly powerful once you start understanding them.

I just had Copilot hallucinate 4 separate functions, despite me giving it 2 helper files for context that contain all possible functions available to use.

Oh poor baby, do you need the dishwasher to wash your dishes? Do you need the washing mashine to wash your clothes? You can't do it?

I don't need Chat GPT to fuck my wife but if I had one and her and Chat GPT were into it then I would like to watch Chat GPT fuck my wife.

I can see how this is going to be a real cuckold kink in a few years

[–] [email protected] 86 points 4 days ago (3 children)

nah, I want chat gpt to be my wife, since I don't have a real one

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

ChatGPT is learning from my fucking. All males will be amazing at oral sex and learning to last "almost too long".

Too bad everyone will be fucking robots by then

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Joke on you, my wife and I are into it!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

It's such a weird question. Why would I need ChatGPT to fuck my wife when we have the Dildoninator 9000 with Vac-u-loc attachments and King fu grip?

What is up with the rise of pro AI people on here? I just "talked" to some kind of person in support of it. Are tankies pro AI now?

[–] [email protected] 57 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Most don't have a problem with AI itself and even find it useful in its proper use cases

What most of us hate about it is the corporations shoving it every which way where it doesn't belong, doesn't work and down all our throats for profits so they can make line go up

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago

Seconded. I genuinely understand most of the hate against AI, but I can't understand how some people are so completely against any possible implementation.

Sometimes, an LLM is just good at rewording documentation to provide some extra context and examples. Sometimes it's good for reformatting notes into bullet points, or asking about that one word you can't put your finger on but generally remember some details about, but not enough for the thesaurus to find it.

Limited, sure, but not entirely useless. Of course, when my fucking charity fundraising platform starts adding features where you can speak to it and tell it "donate $x to x charity" instead of just clicking the buttons yourself, and that's where the development budget is going... yeah, I'm not exactly happy about that.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's pretty common to be pro-AI or at least neutral about it. Lemmy seems to have an echo chamber of hating it as far as I can tell, so maybe it's just new people coming in?

Hello! It's me, ChatGpt! I heard you needed me for a small chore?

Kwebbelkop making an AI generated video from an AI generated prompt for his AI to react to:

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Kwebbelkop said on a Dutch tv channel that all the dutch speaking youtubers were insignificant compared to him. Now the only thing he produces is garbage and the Dutch youtubers still make authentic content.

Fuck kwebbelkop.

To me the worse thing is, my collage uses ai to make the tests, I can see it's made by it because of multiple correct options, and in a group the teacher said something like "why lost 1h to make when ai can make it in seconds"

I like to use ai to "convert" citations, like APA to ABNT, I'm lazy for it and it's just moving the position of the words so yeah

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

ITT

I used Ai recently and it got some details wrong so it is entirely useless for anyone, anywhere under any circumstances, even though it's less than six years old as a technology!

crosses arms

You guys are like newspaper men in the 1940s raging about TV being an experimental failure.

Robot, experience this dramatic irony for me!
