Robot, experience this dramatic irony for me!

If only I’d programmed the robot to be more careful what I wished for!

I want to ask a chatbot for an AI slop picture, then an essay, then to fuck my wife.

I just had Copilot hallucinate 4 separate functions, despite me giving it 2 helper files for context that contain all possible functions available to use.

AI iS tHe FuTuRE.

Even if it IS the future, it is not the present. Stop using it now.

I can't draw as good as AI can and I don't care enough to learn.

I can write a lot better though.

I generally use local LLM's and Image generators for role playing though. (Yes that kind)

What is up with the rise of pro AI people on here? I just "talked" to some kind of person in support of it. Are tankies pro AI now?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

It's called astroturfing.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Most don't have a problem with AI itself and even find it useful in its proper use cases

What most of us hate about it is the corporations shoving it every which way where it doesn't belong, doesn't work and down all our throats for profits so they can make line go up

It's useful. I ain't letting it write software. But I can let it write my stupid report and paperwork while feeding him the important bit. Because I really don't want to bother.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Pretty much how I use it. Unimportant waste of time tasks like forms from HR and mandatory "anonymous" surveys. Refuse to do it until told directly and then get AI to write the most inoffensive and meaningless corporate bullshit.

Of course not having to do the task at all would be a more efficient use of my time but we get ignored when we say these forms are pointless. Not heard any one day anything positive about them in over a year.

If that report and paperwork is inane, rat race stuff, i won't be as hard. But if that is part of school work, you're mentally cooked then.

Ho no, I used the reformating and rewording machine to do something that I was doing for years and still suck at doing. I can't write a legible well formated sentence to save my life. I just feed it whatever it needs to say, it plays it's magic and get something that looks understandable to my coworkers.

Okay I am exaggerating, but I really struggle to be either concise and this helps me.

If the ubiquity of LLMs kills the MLA essay, it'll be worth the price.

I haven't encountered an English teacher that knows how to teach someone how to make an effective argument or state a compelling case, what they know how to do is strictly adhere to the MLA handbook and spot minor grammatical pet peeves. From high school to university I've never had an English teacher call me up to discuss my paper to talk about how I could have more effectively made a point, but I've gotten commas written over with semicolons.

I mean, its great finding me sources of information.

Could google do it? Not as good as it used too or as good as ai, but yes.

I also use it to format my brain storms.

Or where it’s located or what the name of the function i need.

Or if i want info on items i am looking to buy, like what the benefit of waxing my bike chain is over oils. That sort of thing

Converting technician to HR

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I just got a high priority request to write a couple of VBA macros to fetch data from a database then use it to make a bunch of API queries. I know VBA about as well as I know Chinese or Icelandic. I figured out the query and told Chat GPT to use it in a macro. It wrote all the VBA code. I went through a few rounds of "fix this bug, add this feature" and now my client is happy and I didn't have to think much about VBA. I knew what and how to ask it for what I wanted and it saved me days of searching google and reading about VBA. That's high value to me because I don't care about VBA and don't really want to know how to use it.

It's pretty common to be pro-AI or at least neutral about it. Lemmy seems to have an echo chamber of hating it as far as I can tell, so maybe it's just new people coming in?
