Continuously?

“Liver is in, Bob, go fetch the next one. I’ll take this one out.”

Should only be necessary if one of your family members looks away. Should save you a little bandwidth.

I also apologize.

I guess we have to agree to disagree and agree to agree? LLM design happens to be my area of work for the last 4 months or so and I tend to agree that it’s a hateful domain without much to offer. That said, my ability to do my job is extremely enabled by perplexity.ai. I think about 95% of regular people’s queries to generative AI of any kind is a waste of effort an active pursuit of brain atrophy, but there is definitely some upside.

I don’t think that sentiment is echoed by the original post. I also think that with the overwhelming number of anti/fuck ai posts it’s worth highlighting upside when there is upside. Last, I just don’t in any way think that someone who writes a full bore “ai is evil” post has left any space to discuss any sort of benefit. So that’s my main disagreement with you. I think “AI is stupid” is implied if there’s no single positive mention.

I can honestly say perplexity.ai has saved me hours of technical research debugging, and I’ve got a PhD in rocket science and Ive been programming since 2003. By and large it’s totally stupid, but if you know what you need and what good answers look and feel like, it’s hard to be like “AI BAD!” which is the majority perspective of this type of thread.

Let me try again. I also try not to be rude, but a one word “huh?” answer rubbed me the wrong way. Clean slate is fine by me.

Top Level Comment: “[I found a use for AI.]” My response: “[Although it sounds like you’re responding to what OP said, that doesn’t really contradict OP since they never claimed it has no uses. They are objecting to AI on different grounds entirely.]”

I take issue with this bit:

that doesn’t really contradict OP since they never claimed it has no uses.

Which is the source of your “forest for the trees” comment.

I don’t think that a reasonable person can, based on the reading of the OPs “AI is everywhere and evil” post, presume to say that the OP believed there are good uses for AI. I will probably edit this post for your particular wording. Since in voyager I can’t simultaneously reply and look at the comment chain.

Edit: having read the rant now several times, and in no way is it ever implied in any way that there’s anything good about AI. Sure, there’s no phrase that you said, or that OP says, that imply that it’s explicitly NOT useful. That, however, I would say is the “miss the forest for the trees” part. It strikes me as totally justifiable to say “I have found some uses for AI” in light of a blanket negative OP post. I don’t think the guy you initially replied to is missing anything.

Hopefully that fully articulates my position.

Considering the blanket negative post by OP, it’s weird to think that OP thinks there’s some utility. There’s no question of forests or trees, just you putting words in the mouth of the poster.

“Ah yes, AI has many very reasonable use cases and is often quite useful, but is also super evil. I will avoid it and make posts about avoiding it.” - you know, a forest of people

What?

OP wasn’t saying it’s never useful, I think you may have missed the forest for the trees.

- you

You have no evidence to back this claim. OP makes no claim AI is in any way useful at any time. Basically, it seems like you’re talking out of your ass. And also apparently too lazy to reread a comment chain? Or do you usually just grunt at people?

Exactly. There’s some value to AI,but ai would say it’s 85% hype and inflated bullshit. People though spend a ton of calories complaining about AI and how inescapable it is, while I find it more difficult to escape people complaining about AI than AI itself.

Yes it hallucinates, yes it makes you dumber, yes it’s actually a blanket term that people really say when they mean LLMs, yes some people do get some utility from it. But mostly, jesus, your opinion has been expressed on the Internet already, STFU.

I didn’t defend anybody or anything. Generally I agree, but I don’t need to post about it when every third post on Lemmy is the same old shit with the whole comment section clapping and shaking hands.

Luckily, hating Tesla and AI are now personality trait, right, wrong, or indifferent.

The whole premise is about avoiding it at all costs and that being difficult to do. Where in that ranty wall is a statement about the utility of AI?

I’m more concerned with the partials on the scale. 3 legs, maybe slime, and 0.25 house?

I was first in line.

Bro, that’s a regular old house.

She crossed her arms under her breasts, then tugged her braid.

And then we ban the rest of the ads! I like it. Write that down.

I think cats are cute and babies are cute, and never once has it occurred to me to role play as one? Or to actually invest in roleplaying as one?

I won’t yuck your yum, but I think “there are more dimensions”, doesn’t mean it’s NOT a common dimension.

My grandma had that same couch.

I’m between 1 and 2 years older than you and I just found the song. As far as I can tell I’ve never heard it or anything about that dude before.

Not sure where I would have heard it… But I am pretty good at guess that tune from about 1970 to 2010 when I switched to streaming my own playlists.

Would have been better if it were just a hand drawn picture of dickbutt or a rock roll QR code or something.
