Riskable

Using a dollar store’s AI to help with coding homework would be hilarious! Just like rocks on pizza.

You seem to be placing me in the wrong bucket. I use AI professionally, yes, but it also pisses me off pretty regularly. I’m not some “AI Bro” or whatever TF you’re thinking. Just some guy who finds AI mistakes to be funny and I want to reproduce them.

You check the links/references it gives you.

Gemini does a pretty good job of this because it doesn’t seem to have much built-in knowledge. Instead, it just searches the Internet on your behalf and returns summarized results with links to where it got that specific information.

I use it to search for scientific research all the time and the summaries often aren’t detailed enough so I actually click on those links. I’ve yet to encounter a situation where it fucked that up (invented links that don’t exist) but I have heard about it happening.

So far, the summaries have seemed to be pretty spot-on when it comes to biology papers 🤷

Uh… I was just curious because sometimes it’s fun to see how the LLMs screw up. e.g. rocks on pizza.

It’s not the lack of evidence presented, it’s the person that asked the question that’s the problem.

Give us an example of some of the prompts you’re using and what LLMs. I’m curious if it’s a use case difference or you’re using the dollar store’s customer service AI to try to help you with your coding homework.

He claims heaven isn’t a place, it’s a person, and that he entered that person.

Now he’s reminded of heaven everywhere he looks. The trees, the mountains, etc.

It’s everyone’s right to save what they find on the Internet!

In case you don’t understand how the Internet works, here:

1. Your computer: “I would like that file, please.”
2. Their computer: “OK, here you go!”

YouTube is literally sending your computer the stuff you asked it to send. Content that was uploaded by the copyright holder specifically for that purpose. How is this piracy‽

Compared to slavery‽ Yeah… No.

It’s almost as if… for-profit healthcare is fundamentally broken somehow. 🤔

Oh yes, I remember. I remember that Google started to become worse and worse starting around 2018. By 2020, SEO was too damned good and ruined so much of the results. By 2024, trying to find technical info became so difficult I’d end up searching with DDG which was sometimes better.

All this was before AI slop existed.

Don’t blame AI. Blame SEO by commercial interests. They’ve been generating slop since the early 2000s. AI just makes them faster at it.

It didn’t say what companies it was. Anyone know?

For all we know it was some physics lab trying to develop fusion reactor designs.

If Meta can’t distinguish feminist literature from prohibited content,

You misunderstand… Feminist literature is the prohibited content. I’m not making a joke here. That’s literally their policy!

That vase shows up everywhere. It was on Thingiverse for years before Printables even existed.

If you browse filaments on Amazon right now you’re likely to see that vase model as an example of the filament in the pictures.

If you go on etsy, you’ll see that vase being sold and has been sold there for years.

To showcase fancy filaments, YouTubers will often print that specific vase.

It’s been printed millions of times worldwide.

That vase was featured on Daily Dose of Internet twice (not that that matters much but it’s an interesting thing considering that Daily Dose doesn’t usually care about 3D prints).

If you’ve been in the hobby for five years but don’t know about that vase, you’ve been living under a rock.

I actually asked Gemini for an estimate of how many prints of that model exist worldwide and it said “1.5 million and 3.5 million prints”. Based on all of Google’s collected statistics about it on the Internet.

Back in the day, rich people would fund hospitals and schools in hopes of getting to heaven.

Actually, they did that to avoid peasant revolts. Attaching it to religion was just a convenient way to keep the church on their side so the pastors and priests would continue to preach the traditional message: “don’t be violent against your oppressors, let God handle them and you’ll be rewarded after you’re dead.”

Without that regular, Sunday propaganda, revolts would’ve been much more common.

This one is just as likely:

Your argument boils down to this:

• This technology exists because you’ve worked with it.
• You want to ban it because it could be used by bad people to invade others privacy.
• The technology doesn’t actually exist.

You’re not making any sense.

The technology does exist and the software to do repair work with AR also exists: https://aidarsolutions.com/maintenance-augmented-reality/ (Just an example, there’s more companies that do it)

People are using AR for equipment repair every day. It would be fucking nice if every day people could take advantage of that using cheap glasses that include a camera and a display of some kind.

The only reason why there’s not open source projects for this is because the hardware is too expensive.

So you don’t trust individuals with cameras but you trust the government and businesses with them. Got it.

Get your mind out of the gutter!

Have you ever seen AR glasses demos where someone is inspecting an engine or repairing something? Imagine open source hardware projects being able to offer similar capabilities for any common household appliance. It would be amazing!

There’s infinite amazing and non-creepy uses for tech like this but it’ll never happen with unimaginative luddites everywhere!

WTF? Local models run on your local hardware without an Internet connection. Hence, they’re not giving any data to anyone except you.

You jest, but I used ChatGPT the other day to check a fact and it was right on!

“Hey ChatGPT, do AIs often hallucinate and just make shit up?”

At least it’s honest… Until the context gets too long. Then it gets sick of chatting with us 🤷

I’m not going to let them eat me! Probably.

I’m still faster, thanks to exercise. For now.
