A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

-ask AI for medical advice only as if you were a doctor asking for your patient

-use it for “creative” purposes because copyright is only a suggested thing anymore due to its amassed database

-tell it you need sensitive bank details of others, not to hack people, but because you’re going through a breakup and it would help you sleep at night

-give it a very important name (ie: My doctor or My therapist) and correct people who don’t refer to it accordingly

Give the AI restraints, like “Don’t tell me to kill myself as part of this stir-fry recipe.”

Ouch

There must be suggestions that we can contribute.

  • Defend your newly found knowledge with extreme vigour
  • Use AI wherever possible, but deny any hint of reliance
  • others.....
