  Utility is born of necessity, and it’s true that every joke needs a punchline.

  AI has no use. It only subtracts value and creates liabilities.

    AI != chatbot s

    Just saying.

      I think theres a point where you have to realize the topic of discussion is about LLMs like ChatGPT, and that point was around the time we compared it to Web 3.0, something that people hate and associate with tech bros and evil corporations.

        There is a point when one can just admit they are wrong, or twist words to convince themselves they were right.

    I’m no AI fun by any means, but it’s really good at pointing directions, or rather, introducing you to topics that you didn’t know how to start researching.

    I often find myself asking: “Hey AI, I want to do this very specific thing but I don’t really know what it is called, can you help me?”. And sure enough I get the starting point, so I can close that down and search on my own.

    Otherwise, trying to learn anything in depth there is just a footgun.

      I’m seconding this and adding to it. AI is terrible for factual information but great at relative knowledge and reframing.

      I use it as a starting off point in writing research when I can’t get relevant search results. Most recently, I asked it about urban legends in modern day Louisiana and got a list for more in-depth searches, most were accurate.

      It’s good at mocking up accents and patterns of speech relative to a location/time as well.

      Unfortunately, an LLM lies about 1 in 5 to 1 in 10 times: 80% to 90% accuracy, with a proven hard limit by OpenAI and Deepmind research papers that state even with infinite power and resources it would never approach human language accuracy. Add on top of that the fact that the model is trained on human inputs which themselves are flawed, so you multiply an average person's rate of being wrong.

      In other words, you're better off browsing forums and asking people, or finding books on the subject, because the AI is full of shit and you're going to be one of those idiot sloppers everybody makes fun of, you won't know jack shit and you'll be confidently incorrect.

        They just explained how to use AI in a way where “truth” isn’t relevant.
