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.

Is there a term for people who only get answers from Ai?
Like some AI cuck?
I've seen cogsuckers used before.
Ah yes, those people with brAIns
And hence why we call it "métrage" in French, as in "un long métrage" (a feature film) and "in court métrage" (a short film) ; because we measure in metres !
Sadly I have generally watched in horror as my friends quote Gemini slop as fact checking on the regular, because it's the default search result.
I speak up about it, and explain why it's problematic. Doesn't matter. It's convenient.
Convenience always wins.
We're cooked.
I know people that will complain about the crappy results but then not use a different search engine. Like it's too much cognitive load to go to duckduckgo or qwant or whatever
Hmm, makes me wonder if a big factor is that it reads the first couple of results and summarizes it. Like if it was turned off, people wouldn't bother clicking through and reading, so they just leave and and "fact" get saved in their brains. If they were really motivated, they would click through and read and come to the same incorrect conclusions but most don't bother so the misinformation doesn't propagate as easily
ROFL I always wonder if we are totally cooked as a society, if the billionaires are going to get what they want. Sometimes, I think so. However, there are enough people that thing LLMs are total bullshit and won't be lured in. Good on Merriam-Webster to clap back on grok induced stupidity!
Merriam Webster is my least trusted dictionary. Meanings and words I've looked up in the past have been either inaccurate or biased to a North American understanding. I use English English, and prefer Cambridge and (secondary due to online paywall) Oxford (UK ver.).
Merriam-Webster is a source of factual information. Factual information is woke or something. Elon doesn't allow grok to consider anything woke in its answers. Therefore grok doesn't get the info from Merriam-Webster.
@gork is this real??2?
There are many different tiers and types of AI users. Anyone who uses Grok might not be eligible for the death penalty in the US due to diminished capacity.
They would in a type of society where it's considered evidence of imperfect genes.
We have "Schadenfreude". We're gonna need a word for physical pain caused by witnessing such stupidity.
@grok how do i wipe my ass after poop?
GROK: Go waterskiing naked & sitting down, only do it on a road with a car.
USER: Sounds fun, thx!
To be fair, I wouldn't expect grok to be using actual facts and reputable sources as its baseline knowledge, given its owner.
If you're lucky, this is where it gets its info.
@grok explain this I lack braincells
i'd always thought it had the same root as "photograph"
