Comment on ChatGPT fried my drive!?
lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 3 weeks agoAre you really comparing LLM output to be on the same level of… hallucination-ness, than a Gamefaqs tutorial for a SNES game from the late 90s?
I know tiktok has deep-fried and rotten the brains of entire generations but this is just ridiculous.

Well, I can’t speak to Gamefaqs or SNES as I am incapable of gaming. However, even what I would consider reputable tutorials such as ones you find on HowToForge, sometimes don’t quite turn out as expected. There is always some config or app that the tutorial needed, but was left out by the person writing the tutorial. Or the writer of the tut, had something pre-configed or preinstalled, so it wasn’t mentioned, even when following the tutorial line by line. It’s inevitable. For this reason, I maintain a small test VPS where I can run amuck and if I fuck something up, no problem, wipe/reinstall. So, if you’re going to say don’t trust AI, then you have to also be skeptical of all tuts. I mean, that’s where the AI scrapers got the info in the first place. I’m not saying AI is 100% tho I anticipate one day it will be, or at least very damn close. There are things AI gets right. It seems very capable of writing compose files well. Just my 2p

Yes, because that’s a natural process. Most tutorial s written by users cover the experience the user had in their own use case. They don’t / can’t cover the same ground or have access to the same levels of examination that the devs can have.
Oh please. Stop licking corporate AI boot and drinking the kool-aid. There’s at least two orders of magnitude of truthfulness and trustability between “a discrete set of tutorials written to cover described use cases” and “a random mix and blend hodgepodge coke snort prisoner soup ectoplasm of all the above, fine-tuned to invent answers that produce gratification and brand dependence”. You saying that these two things are as trustable as each other suggests you have quite a misanthropic edge to your personality and/or are going through a stage of cult-of-personality (or cult-of-brand).
I trust the humans who write the tutorials that have em-dashes. I don’t trust an AI that just slurped and pirated the work of those humans to try and snake-oil me with a bunch of grammar mistakes adorned with em-dashes.

Why must you think that because I use AI that I have somehow ‘drank the kool-aid’ and am ‘licking corporate boots’? Why is that always the go to with you guys? It’s like blood in the water. Look, I am willing to accept that you vociferously dislike/hate/abhor AI. You have a definite opinion about AI. Got it loud and clear. Much like I have a definite opinion about the ‘arr stack’ which I would say that 75% of selfhosters run. You don’t hear me out here beating my tin pan every time someone mentions the arr stack tho. Why? Because I figure you are an autonomous adult capable of making your own choices, and I leave it at that. No long diatribes about copyright or theft. None of that. I let you be you, and make your own decisions…without all the browbeating.
As I have stated before, I too am fully aware, and fully autonomous. OP used AI, didn’t write down anything, lots of mistakes were made. It’s not like none of us haven’t pulled some stupid boners in our self hosting journey either. You live and learn. It does zero good tho, to brow beat OP because they made some mistakes or used AI. In fact, I would say it would drive people to use AI because of the negative reactions in this very thread.
Your unsubstantiated and unqualified psychoanalysis is way off. Maybe you’re using the wrong AI.
