A new update for ONEui on my Samsung phone has allowed me to disable Gemini from the start. I wasted no time doing so

My favorite feature about my Pixel phone is GrapheneOS compatibility, which doesn’t ship AI by default, but I can opt in if I want (i.e. on a separate profile).

The maker of Deep Seek made it so it would be easier for him to do stocks, which I am doing as well. Unless you all expect us to get degree on how to manually calculate the P/E ratio, potential loss and earnings, position sizing, spread and leverage, compounding, etc., then I will keep using AI. Not everyone of us could specialise on particular areas. But my experience and my purpose for using AI does not defeat what the article is trying to say. I have made the same realisation doing stocks with AI that the tool could easily be used by the lazy for the many trivial things that does not take an ounce of effort.

You don’t need to calculate any of that, any brokerage or website with stock quotes will provide those numbers. AI could very well hallucinate invalid numbers there, so I wouldn’t trust it for calculations.

You’re speedrunning Danning-Kruger with an impressive force

I use LLM’s to help with math/science/coding, and the thing it screws up the most seems to be simple math (typically units/conversion issues) so I would be weary about gleaning financial advice from a chatbot.

Oh yes, I use the bots for projections, which I don’t necessarily take on the face value. Some calculations had been off but as long as I gain some actual profits, I am content enough.

You don’t need AI to do that…

I understood those people knew it was gonna mess with all the projections for the development of the US power grid, chip manufacturing and other data center related industries by being more efficient than anything else and they just made money off that.

Good thing I dont use it.

Hard disagree, it lets me achieve more and avoid procrastination. It can help you not get caught up on small errors, and be like a junior colleague given you complete attention when you ask for different proposals, etc.

I only ever use it to answer a question and even then I double check it’s sources. I also like making superman pics.

That guy (Rich) got a big piece of shit up his ass. He goes all the way to quote Socrates. It’s funny.

I read the first sentence of each paragraph and decided this read was not worth my time.
Now, if AI could do that for me…!!
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
I liked it, but maybe I’m just a big fan of Socratea. It was a little long-winded, but I thought the point of knowing when to use and when to avoid LLMs is important and well-justified.

People already are stupid. Youtube and facebook made sure of that.

Not sure it’s possible for AI to make me stupider than I already am
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Hey, listen. I don’t say this to just ANYONE, but I like the cut of your jib! What’s a jib, you ask? Not important. What IS important is I’ve got an amazing deal on a bridge I’d like to sell you! See, I gotta clear my inventory space for the new models coming out soon, and this model is from the 1800s. You’ve heard the childrens song London Bridge is falling down? Yeah. Falling down in cost, and I’m passing the savings onto yooouuuuu!!!
See, most bridges cost MILLIONS of dollars, but I’ll sell it to you for only $50,000! Or my name isn’t James J. O’Brien!

Give me all of it. Can I pay more than you’re asking?
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Yeah I really think being afraid AI is making people stupid after 25 years of social media is like worrying that the people who grew up next door to the reactor aren’t putting on enough sunscreen when they go out to the mailbox.

I use it to write my job application cover letters. Thats about it. It can’t do my previous job. It can’t figure out wiring single line drawings or plot them. I’m not worried about my intelligence.
match@pawb.social 4 days ago
Cover letters are a great use of AI because they are a pure formality whose content is valueless.
andallthat@lemmy.world 3 days ago
cover letters, meeting notes, some process documentation: the stuff that for some reason “needs” to be done, usually written by people who don’t want to write it for people who don’t want to read it. That’s all perfect for GenAI.
j4yt33@feddit.org 4 days ago
Yes same, and little code snippets, since I’m still too incompetent to write those myself. I’m not a coder though, so I’m not all that worried
untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
Does Wikipedia rot my brain by the same logic? If it didn’t exist I would remember lots more historical and technical info, but instead I can just search for it
SunshineJogger@feddit.org 4 days ago
It depends.
If the time I save frim the summary I generate is used for stuff that is also complex then the effect is not as stated in the article.
For me AI is a tool like many others and when I use it I have to proof read, understand and compare just as much as before because I’ve used LLMs enough not to fully trust their output.
They provide a good starting point and anyone who just stops there and takes that first draft of work as-is has no idea what they want to achieve in the first place

Lol. People who do that habitually and addictively will do it with or without AI
