Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
For actually-good tech, you want our NotAwfulTech community
Dude. I will never buy anything from and ad You fucks have been trying for 30+ years and not once had it worked.
Know what I would pay you for? A functional fucking search engine you fucking dirty myopic shit cabbages.
Fuck the whole fucking lot of you
Money is so incredibly devoid of creativity it hurts. They see it as nothing more than an extension of the ever present algorithm. It's so fucking sad. I get that a lot of money is spent on making these systems but why can't it be for anything more than printing more money. (Yes capitalism, comrades, I get it)
I'm sleep deprived and have only thought about it for 10 minutes but here's some ideas off the top of my head..
Use AI to assist in reporting the disgusting content that's pumped out for kids on YouTube. You don't want to pay people to review every video so at least get it to report suspicious content.
Train it to spot the signs of fraud to help prevent people falling for scams or identity theft
Specialise it rather than some generalised system that spurts out bullshit. Actually give it roles. A purpose to exist. ChatGPT is not a personal assistant, it wasn't designed to be one. It cannot function reliably as one. If you want to sell it as that then make it do that reliably and nothing more.
Train AI to assist in accessibility broadly across the internet. A page doesn't have TTS no problem our AI was made for this purpose. The images have no meta description? It's all good our AI will interpret what it sees for you. Unable to pass this captcha because of impairment? no worries our AI will deal with it.
For fuck sake design it to want more than immediate satisfaction from the user. I don't want a one stop solution to an issue I want to discuss it and figure it out. Let it think for more than one second. Let it contemplate over the broader discussion rather than just my last response. Let it speak not simply respond. Let it speak honestly when it does not know an answer or is uncertain. It is merely glorified I/O in its current form. Useless for anything more than asking it which side to butter my toast (and 50% of the time it'd confidently declare that I should butter the crust). If you must burn the climate and doom our children in order to operate a b-movie skynet then please at least let it have the decency and respect to tell me it's as ignorant as the apes that funded its existence.
"whats my purpose?"
I wonder how many returns there will be because the AI imagined something
Ads. It's always ads. The festering pile of digital excrement that refuses to be cleaned up. It reproduces instead.
Just remember, it can, and will, always get worse!
The internet just gets worse every day.
