Fuck AI

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

Yeah, even though pizzacake takes stances I generally agree with, her work has that "this comic only exists for me to express my social and political views in a way that amplifies my voice online" type of quality. This type of art usually is:

1. Flat or pillow shaded for simplicity, because the beauty of the image isn't relevant to its purpose, and the artist needs to produce it quickly to respond to current events
2. Depicts characters, even protagonists, in a mockingly exaggerated way, because this is the main form of stylization the comic must support in order for the author to make fun of strawman versions of positions they don't like (because anything beyond a strawman, regardless of position, does not fit in a digestible 4 panels)
3. Simple and repetitive poses with no dynamicism, often because the artist is not a very skillful artist, because they only developed the skill to make comics like this in the first place

Basically, it's visually unpleasant because the only reason this has any visual component is to make it more eye-catching compared to just text. Unlike most art, it does not need to be visually appealing, and in fact even benefits from being visually unappealing, as an art style that pisses you off a little is more likely to make you feel a vague sense of there being a problem to resolve - which the comic tells you is the issue it presents. Even advertising has to be eye-catching first, but memorable and compelling after that, because you need to take it in very quickly. Whereas this has the expectation of reading built into it, which frees it from what little need to be pleasant it may have left. The visuals are nothing more than lubricant to help the text go down.

You're absolutely correct - There's no content in your documents. 🚫📃

Would you like me to format your documents again, without actually leaving them empty this time? ✏📫

My guess is that the software or website needs access to a local temp folder to write in before handing you its work. It probably doesn't get that from the server in basic versions.

Maybe I'm using it wrong, but every task I give copilot comes back with empty documents.

I dunno about copilot but I paid for GPT to do a bunch of document migration from legacy pdfs/papers for work. Saved me dozens of hours. Still it was also prone to returning blank or ridiculously bare documents that did not match the preview.

IMO AI would more aptly called IA, or Intuitive Automation. Basically the classic genie in a bottle granting wishes literally trope, but with python.

I'm a beginner>intermediate coder. But thinking about projects and prompts in terms of, "how would I code this" helps a lot. I also try to prompt in a way that "grammatically" translates well to code concepts.

Complex projects inevitably will require multiple prompts. You'll want it to generate a downloadable document at every step and if you're working with data you need it to generate a master copy for reference.. Sometimes you need to go back several prompts and change directions.

Kinda sounds like he’s tired of being g a free consultant.

which is more important than actually solving the problem

Error. <_> I do not compute. xD

Alas still, being an expert and yet sending someone LLM response is a low blow. xD

If you send me uncurated AI output, I will just pipe it back into ChatGPT and reply the result.

Our new COO came into my office the other day and started asking some prepared questions. When we got to our MDM for our iPhones she pulled her phone out and started feeding my answers into an AI to get follow up responses for me.

Not sure how well she'll do... she is quite on the ball for a lot of stuff but I'm certain that the LLMs will rot her brain. :(

That's also how I act when I haven't been doing my job, lol.

Being confident on the spot died the moment you could look something up on the internet. LLM's did not do that.

And it was dead for me at birth, if I'm 0.1% unsure about something I'll stutter and hesitate to pull the trigger.

My boss has become the person in blue. Can't get any work done now because follow up questions are to hard for him now.
