"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.

oh please. How is it any different from scrolling through Google Maps or whatever other research tool? Also you assume that person in question has no struggles of their own - what if they're autistic or in general very poor at planning and need assistance? Clearly they didn't have a malicious intent even from the accusers pov and clearly tried.
emotional labor? this is first date, they hardly know each other. They are clearly older people too so this is not a highschool romance. Absurd.
sorry for calling out lunacy but all it takes for rational people to say nothing and allow these extremist lunatics to take over culture. And for the record I like cancel culture, I like social justice, I like ethics and responsibility but this is nothing of the like - this is just incels.
If I'm asking somebody out on a date I've got at least a vague idea of what that date would look like.
Great me too. I can also reach the top shelf, but that doesn't give me the permission to shit on short people. Some people have social and planning difficulties and we shouldn't shun and shame them but educate, encourage and even accommodate them especially when it was clearly a good faith attempt.
Your version of accommodation is removing the human element in the one thing that should be most human. The fact you cant see the difference between asking AI and using google maps tells me you are struggling with this concept. That you think first dates dont carry emotional weight sorta seals it.
what are you even on about? how is querying "date places" in chatgpt any different from typing in "date places" in google maps? just because you get text output instead of a visual one? it's just a computer my dude.
Oh please. Here you go assuming that a widow of 12 years has no struggles of her own. Why are you so fired up? She found ultimate love, lost it. Tried to venture out and date again and she didn't like it. She returns to her peaceful life.
Why do you need her to date her AI dependent classmate so badly?
Her being a widow of 12 years is completely irrelevant.
But the imaginary autism you concocted is?
