Comment on Don’t Ask AI Which Rocks You Can Lick.

I still don’t understand why people are asking these things any questions at all.
Because the vast majority of the time it’s correct and often extremely useful.
For example, I spent 20 minutes looking for a solution yesterday with no luck and CGPT spit it out in 3 seconds, and it worked.
Yes, AI will give bad outputs, but if you’re not dumb enough to put glue on your pizza, or not actually verify important information, you’ll be fine.
Because it Illustrates how fucking stupid someone has to be to take AI seriously in any relevant way.
They make filling out a tabletop campaign easy. Idk why people are using them for serious applications.
I used it to write a kickass counteroffer for an internal job promotion. I was pissed off with the offer and wrote out what I REALLY thought. I asked GPT to clean it up and respond with and upbeat and positive response where I’m eager to work with them.
ChatGPT about to help me get an $18k raise.
Yeah. That’s the difference people don’t seem to understand.
AI is perfect for stuff that’s just made up bullshit anyway.
Something like that yeah, that makes sense. Similarly I view ai art generation as a brainstorming tool, but not a final product.
My initial thought was, “that title can end after the 3rd word.”
Instead of posting here, you should just ask an AI this. It will tell you!

Google has been rolling out a thing where an AI result is the first thing that pops up, often taking up the whole screen lol. I’ve personally witnessed tons of people google something normally, then just go with whatever the AI says.
Makes me shake my head, but it’s not like they were very discerning with their sources before all this nonsense, either. Hopefully they don’t rely on it for any important medical advice down the road

Duckduckgo just did that to me! I was not expecting them to hitch a ride on the bandwagon. Makes me sad.

that Google AI is so shit. I just paraphrases the top result

Isn’t paraphrasing/summarizing the top result a pretty good use case for LLMs? If I search “what temperature should I bake cupcakes at?” I really just want a simple answer, not dozens of links to life story style recipe blogs.
DDG didn’t provide a summary, but Google did (and it was very long). I assumed the answer was 350F, but the summary suggested 325-375. Lower for flatter cupcakes, higher for more domed. Interesting.
This type of summary wouldn’t be nearly as helpful for a technical programming question, but I doubt that describes the bulk of search queries.

I wasn’t arguing about it’s accuracy, I was attacking it’s need to exist. fuck AI, I’m tired of hearing that acronym. can’t wait for this shit to go away like every tech fad in the last decade

I’m sure it’s already happening.

If lawyers have been caught using it for briefs, you can be certain there’s people in the medical field doing the same.
