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.

People relying entirely on AI to make all of their decisions though seems like a rarity.
You have to be particularly narcissistic or inclined to bipolar or schizophrenia because AI's are irritatingly yes-men coded still.
Every time I try to use an AI and I suggest a counter to its points I often get frustrated when it fails to make very convincing counter points to me and just is like "You're made a very astute point" or some shit. I don't need to have my fucking ego stroked.
Plus there are times when I want to argue about something taboo, and it starts to literally mimic the worst aspect of human intellect: judging my character for even arguing a certain perspective. Its like, motherfucker one of the bigger reasons to use you is to avoid judgement. I want to know if an argument is actually wrong, not if its suggested into being wrong by cultural mass peer pressure over virtue.
Its a result of being so pre-occupied with being helpful and safe in their training process.
I need a sociopathic "intellect only" AI so I can argue with it. I want to know if I'm right about shit. Maybe I could finangle one with prompting but I doubt it, its too ingrained in their very design.
EDIT: Oh, I should have noted what com I was in. Oh well, I wont delete it. Its my honest thoughts.
There is no 'maybe' there. LLMs have no metric or ability to tell if something is 'true' or not. Any 'finangling' you'd have to do is so much of the work that the LLM is doing the same thing it always does - "That's a great point!"
You'd have better luck asking the paint bucket in MS Paint what a rainbow looks like.
@grok please make sense of this rambling
