"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.
Yes, I'll just trust the AI to help me fuck around with grid voltage levels.
With google search results becoming so poor, I guess I need to look into kagi or duck-duck. Pain in my dick, motherless goatfucking, horsehit-happy asshole, corporate varmints gotta fuck it all up for more profit. I'm tired, yo.
That fucking banchode.
Of course! Why not?! Just tell people information that could KILL THEM! I am sure that has not happened before... right guys? Right? RIGHT?! AI is out of control and needs to be regulated. How many people have destroyed their stuff or died trusting AI? G-D only knows... oh my.
No.
Stupid people do stupid shit.
Gemini doesn't tell to to do this or that ("stick a fork in a socket and see what happens"). Your best friend tells you to jump off a bridge... Nope. AI is giving you the specs and things to consider. "If you jump off this particular bridge, then this will be the likely outcome". That is factually correct!
If you don't understand how to use AI as a probability indicator, that's on you. Not everyone who jumps off of that bridge or sticks that fork in that socket will die, but the odds exceed 87% or whatever.
If you can't use it for what it is, then don't use it. When I worked as an hvac tech for Walmart, sometimes AI had bad information, but it was always 100% correct in flagging something that looked out of spec ("This is a potential problem"). It had far more eyes to look at everything (every store), than my 2 eyes had looking only at the store I was in.
AI will give you a whole 'nuther perspective than your own 2 eyes and biased brain. "Well I've never been injured doing xyx". Yeah, OK. But "if you use a grinder without a face mask, and you injure your eyes, you won't get your eyesight back".
Take it for what it's worth. AI can show you some serious blind spots in your logic by condensing thousands of research papers and web pages in milliseconds.
If you don't want to use it, that's on you. I really don't care.
Gemini doesn't tell to to do this or that
it reaffirms you to do very stupid things while masquerading as universal knowledge
i recently found ecosia having better results than duckduckgo, give it a try. qwant also seemed ok but they geoblock me so i need a vpn to search there..
for keyword searching obscure stuff etools tend to work well for me but they have some weird system where you gotta refresh a couple of times to have results actually load properly
Ai can’t do the NEC worth a shit. I tell everyone. Electricians will be around for a long time.
Don't be so hard on Gemini.
It is accurately warning you that this meter is safe to use on 277 volts (actually 300 - but that's an odd voltage) and below. It's telling you not to use it on 480+,1 kv,...
Ignore the prompt request for safe use at your own peril!
