A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Soon Im going to become known on lemmy as the guy with -that- batshit uncle with all the stories but.

*my Uncle used to be an astoundingly intelligent man, he was a talented computer engineer who had several very high paying jobs in the 00s and 10s until his life fell apart due to being angry at the world over something and hitching his entire lifestyle to Trump.

anyway. nowadays. He cant go through the day without consulting ChatGPT at least 30 times. the man cant function. he has no problem solving skills anymore, his answer is to go to ChatGPT for everything, from researching different models of electric toothbrushes, to philosophical questions about why he keeps getting passed on interviews.

the ironic bit is that he has railed against the rest of the family for years telling us all that we're all going to be destitude and die in the IMMINENT FINANCIAL COLLAPSE, if we dont invest our life savings into bitcoin. (nowadays, he talks about it more like its going to be a collapse of society, because he thinks the US is going to have a Civil war / mass murder purge in September when the "RFK Autism report" gets released)

what the fuck do you think is going to happen to the internet, genius?*

This is good. Guys sums things up well, makes salient points. I'm sending it to a techy doofus who almost orgasms over AI.

The only time I use AI (Duck AI) is to ask a direct question. “convert 1/4 cup butter to oz, word definitions, history questions, etc. I use it because I can get a direct answer without pages of BS.

Edit: So, everything else is me. I’m comfortable writing my own messages. If the text or message is too long, I connect personally.

convert 1/4 cup butter to oz

ddg already has a built in calc for that

word definitions

So instead of using a neutral source such as the Hardward dictionary, you let fascists and Hallucinations define what you say

history questions

Lul. And, are ya already denying the holocaust?

I can get a direct answer without pages of BS.

You know search engines have been answering literally all of your example queries for over a decade now? Those are all the lowest hanging fruit ever as far as search engine queries pre "AI'" go
