Rec | NO IT'S PSYCHO ACTUALLY

🤪

yesterday my coworkers said they were gonna translate a bunch of materials using chatgpt into like 4 other languages and all i could say tactfully was uhhh maybe use google translate instead. openai has done such a disturbing job of convincing people that ai is capable of critical thought when it absolutely is not and is inherently incapable of generating information as reliably as a person can. you can tell chatGPT that the sky is red enough times and it'll start regurgitating that as fact. you can tell me the sky is red once and i will go outside and look at it and know you're an idiot

learning about ai hallucinations

people need to learn about hallucinations if they are going to use ai generated content. especially ai generated content for the purpose of learning. things like chatgpt may seem to output legitimate answers, but it does not understand what it outputs. it does absolutely no thinking at all! each word after the other is generated because STATISTICALLY it is most likely to be the next best word. chatgpt is not trained to respond "I don't know" and will just try to respond with an answer that statistically makes the most sense in response to your prompt! leading to sometimes bs responses! fact check everything!

Feeling unthreatened by ai

I know people are going to be using it a lot maybe for dumb menial stuff, but I have not had a moment where it felt compellingly as though it was going to “take over”. Everybody I’ve seen who has made that argument is somehow relying on it to be true, so I can’t trust them. I immediately judge anybody who tells me they use chatGPT for something related to their work. And I don’t think I’m being unfair. At best, something like chatGPT is a tool that people can use for brainstorming, but directly using chatGPT output is just pathetic to me. I dunno.

not using chat gpt

Actually I have another hater take. Sorry but I do judge you if you use this (or any other AI chat bot because apparently there are others?) and treat it as a source of truth.....very strange behavior. I thought we all thought it was dumb but I now hear people reference it's use in common conversation/at work as if it's not weird? Why are you all feeding the beast? Can we please use our brains? Use it or lose it, baby!
