Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

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.

I was in a group chat where the bro copied and pasted my question into ChatGPT, took a screenshot, and pasted it into the chat.

As a joke, I said that Gemini disagreed with the answer. He asked what it said.

I made up an answer and then said I did another fact check with Claude, and ran it through "blast processing" servers to "fact check with a million sources".

He replies that ChatGPT 5.1 is getting unreliable even at the $200 a month model and considering switching to a smarter agent.

Guys - it's not funny anymore.

fuckin Sega Genesis genius over here!

I both hate and love that some folks are that checked out from doing their own thinking

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 55 points 2 days ago (2 children)

people actually pay $200 a month for that service?!

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 2 points 23 hours ago

Supposedly, OpenAI is losing money on every subscriber even at that tier.

only that guy and 4 other people i think

Why do stupid people have all the money? I'm stupid. Where's my millions of dollars?

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

You are self aware and thus not stupid enough for this to apply to you.

You have to be stupid and lack empathy.

And have been born to the right parents.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's a decent chance it's on credit.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

Lol, Klarna for ChatGPT.

I think the more likely answer is (hopefully) they're talking out of their ass. But who knows. Somebody is paying for that $200 tier. At least one person has to be.

It’s not that they’re stupid - it’s that they’re completely unscrupulous and unethical. If you gave up on being a decent human being then I’m sure you’d think up loads of ways of making those megabucks. How about slavery! Hmm, too on the nose. How about we insert ourselves as rent-seeking middlemen in a stable industry, taking a fee from customers and only giving tasks to the workers who generate enough profit for us. It’s not slavery, it’s just the gig economy! And when we say “people are happier not being employees under our system” it won’t be because we’re stupid, it’ll be because we no longer care about inconvenient truths that get in the way of our profits.

Please don’t do any of this, kind lemming.

The best way to make money would be to get into "spirituality" By selling Chakra aligning stickers or somesuch. Or even better, getting into hifi audio, and selling empty boxes you can plug into a wall to "harmonize" the electrical waves of the wiring in the house. 😂

PS. These were actual products being sold.

[–] Silic0n_Alph4@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Ok, how about Chakra-aligned 5G-blocking ~hifi~ MaxFi audio cables? It’s a niche demographic, but it’d be like shooting tinfoil-hat-wearing fish in a barrel.

[–] kboos1@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago (2 children)

From my experience they are really good at blending in and going with the flow, so in companies this means that they are like minded and team players. If you want to move up and make more money you just need to become a yes man and stop making waves

[–] the_artic_one@programming.dev 14 points 2 days ago

See: Bighead from the show Silicon Valley.

And SlopGPT is the ultimate yes machine, and that's also why so many blindly follow its commands

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Thanks, I hate how true this is

[–] BossDj@piefed.social 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Stupid people have blind confidence and take more risks

It really helps gathering capital if you're too stupid for empathy.

He replies that ChatGPT 5.1 is getting unreliable

But he still pastes its output without even reading it first.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 42 points 2 days ago

His brain doesn't work anymore.

My library card was free of charge. (:

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 57 points 2 days ago (1 children)

$200 a month

Life is fucking unfair.

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Here I am trying to scrape by with 200€ for the entire month :]

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's super easy. First, you get a loan with a bank, then you get another loan with a different bank to pay the first, on and on

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

How haven't I thought of that

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 32 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The one thing that I appreciate about people pasting screenshots of AI answers is the notice that it is an AI answer and I can ignore it. I hate it when people copy paste the text and you start reading it only to realize that they wasted your time by giving you shit that you didn't consent to

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago

I had someone do this to me in a professional setting "I asked ChatGPT and it gave me a good answer. I'll forward it to you so you can read it."

Are you shitting me? If you want to use an LLM to start your thought process or start your research, fine. That's probably the best use case for LLMs. But don't claim you did something valuable and then pass the task on to me to do because you couldn't be bothered to assimilate, internalize, and contextualize the information during the meeting where that was the whole friggin' purpose.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's a really good perspective. I shouldn't get angry, I should see it as the red flags that it is. Thank you.

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Sometimes the trash just takes itself out

[–] gratux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You need to be more creative. Say something like "I asked Gemini to fuck my wife for me because I don't have time to do it myself"

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

I can imagine the other going "chatgpt said that's a good thing to do to spice the bedroom"

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

200 a month? Damn, that’sa lot of money to waste. :O

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nononono... That money goes towards a similarly made up model to justify to people that buy and sell stock to give them more money to buy all the ram and hdds. So it's not being wasted, it's actively perpetuating the bullshit machine that's fucking us all and going to either make a massive breakthrough and change life as we know it, or much more likely just crash the entire economy and require the biggest bailout in human history just to soften the blow.

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

Damn, I’m sold! I’ll pay $200, no, even more!!!
