"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Yes, I'll just trust the AI to help me fuck around with grid voltage levels.

With google search results becoming so poor, I guess I need to look into kagi or duck-duck. Pain in my dick, motherless goatfucking, horsehit-happy asshole, corporate varmints gotta fuck it all up for more profit. I'm tired, yo.

Fuck 'gemini'. I don't trust a glorified chat bot with life and death advice. Don't be simping for a chatbot ran by an objectively evil corpo.

I don't care what the actual max voltage is. That search was a shortcut to find the manufacturer spec summary while looking at third party probes. Not 'gemini's' summary or anything else. I don't want electrical, romance, or life advice from a chatbot. I want links to relevant resources.

Bro, you use google

Can't help you there buddy.

Gemini correctly summarized the limitations of that item. If you can't read that, then that's on you. Gemini actually asked for your specific parameters. One might surmise that you shouldn't be allowed near high voltage things to begin with if you can't read basic limitations and refuse clarifications from Gemini.

I personally don't give a shit wherher you trust Gemini or not. But it seems to me that you need remedial help with basic English and IEC standards.

Sorry. That's not on Gemini. That's on you.

I don't give a fuck if it summarized the specs correctly. It's been proven to be wrong often enough that trusting it to be correct when dealing with life and death issues is foolish.

I searched a basic spec to get a link to a manufacturer spec list. The bot offfered to vet my setup for safety. It seems you're suggesting that it's a good idea to listen to a chatbot for high voltage safety advice.

I'm not the one with the comprehension issue here.

I didn't ask for high voltage safety tips from a chatbot. It offered them. If you don't think that's dangerous and wildly irresponsible, you're being disingenuous at best and willfully ignorant at worst.

It's not me that's going to be killed. it's people that don't know enough to not trust a fucking chat bot. Do you really trust a bot to explain ground loops, isolation transformers, and floating test equipment? If so, I feel real bad for any kids you might be training.

So just scroll the fuck down and click on the link to the manufacturers datasheet.

Did Gemini disable your scroll wheel?

You admit that the summary is correct. Couldn't you have found an example where it's giving bad advice?

If it kills some stupid people who are too lazy to check out other sources, who honestly cares, the world could use that.

that won't save other people. don't be afraid, OP is not fearing for himself, but he fears the safety of others. if it wasn't entirely obvious.

but probably gemini just disabled your reading comprehension, so don't even bother responding.

If it kills some stupid people who are too lazy to check out other sources, who honestly cares, the world could use that.

those people are not lazy but gullible. I don't know what to say if you don't think at least 60% of people believe gemini knows what it says.

[–] Zamboni_Driver@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

I said that the were stupid and lazy, you don't think gullible was implied there?

but probably gemini just disabled your reading comprehension

Says the person who thinks that

"but probably"

Is the way to phrase a written argument.

😭

you are batshit insane if you are genuinely arguing so confidently that OP should have just believed what gemini responded with. this is not about reading comprehension you dumbass. go see a doctor.

Gemini was 💯 % correct.

No I'm not batshit crazy. I can read a simple spec sheet. Been doing it for a few years now.
