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.

Seriously and it will sometimes drop my name like fuck off you are not a person do not refer to me like you are
I just told Claude yesterday to never refer to me by name. Fucking creeps me out.
Interesting. I haven't had that happen.
But I found that programming it to speak to me manipulatively was demeaning and infantile, though sadly it's proven to be an excellent design decision for mass adoption. For me, personally, it's just important to keep this thing I'm forced to use in context.
Yeah that sycophantic behavior really creeps me the hell out
This kind of weird profile scanning stuff is why i refuse to use anything other than a local model. It doesnt get to know anything about me other than what i tell it, and that only applies to whatever folder/conversation im currently in
