Funny how AI has supposedly surpassed the greatest scientists, yet the greatest scientific discovery here is always announced by the guy selling subscriptions. If it really is that smart, perhaps it could explain to Sam the difference between a peer reviewed breakthrough and a product launch.

High-fiving AI. i'm done with this fucking place.

To be fair to AI, the problem with Sam and OpenAI was always PEBKAC.

I'm sorry, Sam. I can only explain it to you. I can't understand it for you, as well.

You can lead a man to knowledge, but you can't make him think.

Somehow I’ve not seen this before. Love it!

Love it but still using "horse" for a more gender neutral jibe.

You can lead someone to knowledge, but you can't make them think.

We have a grammar for that.

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Horse is more derogatory

[–] logi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Sure. But that wasn't the stated goal.

So can man be

I feel like if sam just fucked off. Ai would be smarter, more useful, and less problematic basically over night.

Maybe it could explain to Sam how a statistical model cannot approximate 101% accuracy to the sample data.
