      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 !

        Ok, yaml is fair game for a LLM. Whitespace sensitive language should die in a fire, markup or otherwise.

      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

      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.

        Regular search engines did that 20 years ago, without blowing out the power grid.

        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.

        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 ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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.

      “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

    • henfredemars@infosec.pub ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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.

      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

        I’ve yet to detect even a hint of right-wing / nazi bias on Grok. I get that it’s a popular narrative but it simply just doesn’t hold true according to my experience. It’s not that much different from ChatGPT really - just slightly less restricted.
