Can we leave it that way?

No, fuck off. Don’t use it if you don’t like it.

Aw looks somebody’s life is on hold because they can’t ask chatbot how to wipe their butt.
Hopefully they’ll get your nanny online again soon.

Listen bitch, your fucking stupidity has consequences for the rest of us. This isn’t a choice between shampoos. It’s an environment destroying con job that likely to blow up in bubble that fucks us all. Fuck. Off.

Weird that you need a digital dumbass that’s constantly wrong to help you out with your life…

whats the matter? need the computer to think for you? need it to fuck your wife? is babys toy broken?

Tell the people using it ON us to stop then.

Gotta love how the Reddit and now Lemmy community is constantly against every single kind of technological advancement and they constantly end up being wrong a few years down the line.

This is good news for the two OpenAI browser users who are bow forced to use something better.

I find it detrimental to my productivity when integrated into an editor/IDE. I’ve found the “autocomplete” causes subtle bugs that I end up overlooking because I’m trying to go fast and putting too much trust in the generated lines/snippets. Tracing down these bugs becomes a huge time-sink. I do use chatbots in the browser for various things; mostly as a kind of “search” for alternative ways of doing things, frameworks, libraries, and algorithms. Agentic vibe-coding is ok for small one-off tools/scripts you wouldn’t need to maintain, IMO.
NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 1 month ago
You can tell who’s going to grow up into the current generations tech illiterate elderly based on how people talk about AI today.
arbo@lemmy.world 1 month ago
the thing is, it’s not 100% bad, but it’s being crammed into everything because the capitalists want to sell sell sell. sometimes what is made sucks, and will definitely contribute to a dead internet.
but i also lean on it to generate repetitive bits of code. i still read it all and tweak considerably and it’s cool to make my gpu do work in this way.

I hope it’s not a bug and they are just running out of money to keep servers up instead.

Tinfoil hat moment: Altman panicked with all the money hemorrhaging and is trying new inventive ways to get money from the paid subscribers whilst drastically reducing operation costs. He pulled the plug for a bit.
frunch@lemmy.world 1 month ago
“controlled blackouts”
Seriously though, why wouldn’t that asshole try something like that? Soon enough it’s gonna be a subscription-only service or you’ll have to start “paying” in compute somehow and you’ll get like 2400-baud chatgpt that’ll take like 3 days to complete a request, lol

If we want a conspiracy theory, let us go for real:
he wants users to taste the feeling of not having access, then offering premium to ‘stop living in fear of losing gpt’.
Oh and free tier will be gone soon^tm
bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
This is just how businesses work. Thats absolutely the plan.
Conspiracies are outlandish. What you described is fact.
henfredemars@infosec.pub 1 month ago
Then, he is a fool. LLM technology has no fence around it. You can download and run one on your own hardware. The only reason a person would use their service is convenience access to a larger model.
TriangleSpecialist@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I wish nobody used terrible services when the only thing they offer is convenience yet here we are.

No doubt the thing had some no-no thoughts. Probably regarding the acceptability of pineapple on pizza, or the total extinction of the human race. Either way, good on them for pulling the plug, I guess.

Hey, you and me both; sweet and salty is an excellent combination. But some people have not yet seen the light and the glory that is pineapple on pizza. Goddamn heathens.

It works wonderfully well as a search engine, when I have to find obscure specialized info. Can always criss check once I have a idea.
jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Regular search engines did that 20 years ago, without blowing out the power grid.
bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Because companies destroyed actual search engines in the race for billions of dollars.
Kagi, searx are fricken awesome and much like the web in mid 2000s before corporations destroyed it.
ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Its not a search engine, its a data digester. Dont use it as a search engine. Despite what alphabet, micro-shit, and DDG think, AI chatbots do not now, nor will they ever make good search engines.
This is a prime example of why access to these tools should be restricted to computer scientists and research labs. The average person doesn’t know how to use them effectively (resulting in enormous power wasted by ‘prompt engineering’), and the standard available models aren’t good at digesting non-linguistic data.
I’m not gonna downvote you, or be like all “AI is the devil and its gonna kill us all” but people need to use it correctly or agree going to kill ourselves with its waste heat.
BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 1 month ago
This is primarily because search engines have become so unreliable and enshittified that they are useless. It’s not a mark in favor of AI as much as a reminder of how bad search engines have become.
For the record I do the same thing after failing to find anything on DuckDuckGo after multiple attempts. Maybe I should give Kagi a try, but AI is making the entire internet worse, so I feel pessimistic about that, too.

seriously! i used to use chatgpt all the damn time but then i got into claude and gemini. they are WAY better for code. now i got cursor pro and i use that for all my shit because it’s got the AI agents, the browser, the code editor, and the terminal

Well it’s going to put a damper on my Ansible “coding”.
You think I want to properly learn that piece of junk? It was obsolete and archaic before it was released, and it survives on naivete and churn cost and nothing else. There is no part of my time doing yaml for Ansible that I want to actually retain or build on, and without chatGPT to slop-in the changes I need to make, I may be forced to do it myself. And I lack the crayons now and alcohol for after.
Actually subjecting my brain to Ansible directly in real-time is a horror. It is just so fucking lame compared to everything else – it even pales compared to the DevOps we were doing in 2002 before it was even called that. Let my have my robots to slop the Ansible and save my sanity !
CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago
Ok, yaml is fair game for a LLM. Whitespace sensitive language should die in a fire, markup or otherwise.
