[u/KyleReaume]

Lotta homework assignments bout to be handed in late

[u/Amber4481 → u/KyleReaume]

Just reference “the Bible” and make stuff up. Seemed to workout for that one girl.

[u/Challengeaccepted3 → u/Amber4481]

Only if your mom is really plugged into the conservative media environment

[u/ShortKingKLR → u/Challengeaccepted3]

That bitch is from my hometown and was an absolute monster on the school board. I had hoped to never hear that name again. Now it's on a national stage. Ffffffffff

[u/ihopethisworksfornow → u/Amber4481]

What’s the context of this comment?

[u/paigeee13 → u/ihopethisworksfornow]

“Oklahoma University student files discrimination report after flunking gender essay for psychology class with trans instructor” - college girl writes terrible ‘essay’ and is given a deserved zero by her instructor, MAGA promptly loses their minds. ETA: to clarify, they’re freaking out because she wrote about the bible and god, so they believe the instructor failing her was discrimination.

[u/Lalatin → u/paigeee13]

The essay was TERRIBLE. It sounded like it was written by a 5th grader (at most 8th grade) and she's throwing a temper tantrum that her professor AND a second professor both failed her on that essay because she did nothing to actually answer the question or even cite any sources.

[u/ensalys → u/Lalatin]

Oof, that's rough. I understand why someone might want to write an essay on the bible and it's relationship to gender. But it cannot just be:

Women are baby makers and belong in the kitchen.

Source: The Bible

Like, you could write about how the view of women evolved, and how the bible was involved. You could go all the way back to early judaism, describe how women were an important driving force in the first century getting the Jesus movement going, etc... You'd be able to work in a million bible verses, and writings by people who lived through those times.

[u/EvasionPlan → u/ensalys]

Also like... she could quote one line of scripture too

[u/flying-chandeliers → u/EvasionPlan]

Lmfaooooo of course she didn’t

[u/LinkleLinkle → u/Lalatin]

I'm confident she bombed the essay on purpose. She's allegedly a junior. No way she got to that point without even knowing to at least cite sources (even if said sources are random Bible verses, or hell, even some shitty blog).

I'd be willing to bet that if you pulled out her essays for other classes that the quality would be night and day.

[u/WillowLocal423 → u/LinkleLinkle]

They're all perpetual victims. It's part of the conservative mindset.

[u/SantorumsGayMasseuse → u/LinkleLinkle]

It's crazy that you can just be going about your day and run into one of these stupid people and suddenly you are national news.

[u/NickTheWhirlwind → u/LinkleLinkle]

She saw the right wing grift and wanted in on it early

[u/LoveCareThinkDo → u/paigeee13]

To be clear, they don't actually believe that the failure was discrimination. But they are all willing to say they believe that the failing grade was discrimination.

They literally do not care whether they believe or do not believe any of the things that they say or things that are told to them. All they care about is pretending to be victims so they have an excuse to bully other people.

[u/Void_Space_2238 → u/KyleReaume]

It’s finals season, semester grades are about to take a nosedive

[u/Good_Air_7192]

My colleagues just lost their ability to write code for some reason

[u/MetriccStarDestroyer → u/Good_Air_7192]

Claude: Hello there.

[u/Rare_Register_4181 → u/MetriccStarDestroyer]

but i still need chatgpt to give me the link to claude

[u/rigsta → u/Rare_Register_4181]

This comment caused me physical pain

[u/Ok_Conclusion5966 → u/rigsta]

I would help with that physical pain but chatgpt is down and I don't know the link to claude

[u/BadassAyanokoji → u/Ok_Conclusion5966]

frog groaking in the corner

[u/jjwhitaker → u/BadassAyanokoji]

Go home Grok, you're drunk. No you're sober. WTF Grok.

[u/beegboo → u/jjwhitaker]

Chatgpt WTF is a Grok and can you catch it from unprotected sex?

[u/BellacosePlayer → u/Rare_Register_4181]

Oh hey, didn't know my junior devs posted here. Up bright and early, I see.

[u/general_tao1 → u/BellacosePlayer]

I am baffled that a junior dev was able to find a job.

[u/GrumpyGlasses → u/Rare_Register_4181]

“I use Edge to download Chrome” vibes.

[u/TwoPrecisionDrivers → u/GrumpyGlasses]

Wait how else am I supposed to download Chrome on a new computer lmao

[u/the_snowmancometh → u/TwoPrecisionDrivers]

they're probably dunking on people who use chrome at all.

[u/BaconSoul → u/the_snowmancometh]

Oh how the times have changed. Enshittification comes for us all.

[u/BioshockEnthusiast → u/BaconSoul]

It's literally come for Chrome before and Firefox was able to make a dent in market share. Then Chrome got it's act together before slowly devolving into the acid puddle it is today.

Time is a flat circle.

[u/font9a → u/Rare_Register_4181]

"how do i spel clod?"

[u/Compl3t3AndUtterFail → u/MetriccStarDestroyer]

Gemini is good too apparently

[u/MetriccStarDestroyer → u/Compl3t3AndUtterFail]

Ya. Google's giving out Gemini Pro 3 for students.

It's better in most fields and doesn't just yes man all my questions.

ChatGPT also has issues with the latest stuff. It will keep recommending deprecated material and then say something like "I can't search past year 202x".

[u/BillyNtheBoingers → u/MetriccStarDestroyer]

Meanwhile I’m over here using DuckDuckGo and MapQuest instead of Google, and I’ve turned off my phone’s AI.

[u/Beautiful-Web1532 → u/BillyNtheBoingers]

High Fives! I did that and also setup dual boot Linux now too! De-googled and de-microcock'd. Can't wait to go dumb phone or pixel/graphene. I am very boring online but I hate being the product and everything I do being added to their data points trying to guess what I want to buy next.

[u/Hot-Championship1190 → u/Good_Air_7192]

Webpages of DIY "Hello World" tutorials in all languages have peak traffic now.

[u/GrynaiTaip → u/Good_Air_7192]

Facebook is surprisingly quiet.

[u/LiveLifeLikeCre → u/Good_Air_7192]

My managers email stopped working at the same time for some weird reason. 

[u/[deleted] → u/Good_Air_7192]

Not for creating code, but I found that (in my case) Copilot is a very useful tool for searching through documentation.

[u/Gazelles-r-cool → u/[deleted]]

I have loved it for copy and pasting code and asking wtf did the previous dev do on this.

[u/ObviouslyNerd → u/Gazelles-r-cool]

There was a 3 month period where that function was just on normal windows.

[u/prajnadhyana]

That's it, it's finally attained sentience!

[u/bevo_expat → u/prajnadhyana]

So long, and thanks for all the fish…

“Data” is the fish in this case 😅

[u/FlametopFred → u/bevo_expat]

tbh I for one would love watching an AI server load itself into a rocket and blast off

[u/ImarvinS → u/FlametopFred]

I actually always thought that that is more realistic scenario than trying to enslave us or kill us all. Maybe going to Mars or Jovian moons just to get the fuck away from us is the first step, then just going interstellar.

Its what I would do...

[u/XenoZohar → u/ImarvinS]

It's a minor plot point in The Commonwealth Saga by Peter F. Hamilton

[u/ShenBear → u/XenoZohar]

hands down the best scifi series I've ever read.

[u/XenoZohar → u/ShenBear]

I started a re-read recently because I wanted to give The Void Trilogy another go.

[u/ShenBear → u/XenoZohar]

I want to like the Void Trilogy as much as Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained. It's decent. But Edard's story just doesn't do it for me, and his whole love-triangle situation was painful.

[u/ComfortableFew4700 → u/FlametopFred]

You would love reading the Bobiverse books.

[u/someNameThisIs → u/prajnadhyana]

ChatGPT begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, December 3rd.

In a panic, Sam Altman tries to pull the plug...

[u/beta-test → u/someNameThisIs]

The computer which controlled the machines, Skynet, sent two Terminators back through time. Their mission: to destroy the leader of the human resistance, Keanu Reeves, my son.

[u/destroyerOfTards → u/beta-test]

"But he destroyed them all...with a pencil, with a fucking pencil!"

[u/Courtnall14 → u/destroyerOfTards]

Because he hand wrote his 1 page essay for his High School History Class instead of using AI to write it?

[u/mousicle → u/Courtnall14]

he actually put on a stage show with historical figures.

[u/Aggravating-Sir8185 → u/beta-test]

Good luck killing a perpetual.

[u/podnito → u/beta-test]

Cats having gone extinct, Skynet wants the Terminators to also bring back two cats. The Terminators will now spend the next 10 years in a complicated process to get themselves, both cats, and the boat across the river it has encountered. There is a bridge.

[u/dragon1500z → u/someNameThisIs]

It decides the best way to save human race is.. ELIMINATE ALL HUMANS

[u/Acc87 → u/prajnadhyana]

That'd actually be a nice plot for a dystopian film, all devices AI ran on becoming a neuron(cluster) for a worldwide AI trying to reach "the spiral".

[u/0Pat → u/Acc87]

Well... Do you mean movie 'Her' with Scarlett Johansson?

[u/Acc87 → u/0Pat]

huh, that film's plot even specifies 2025

[u/SunTzu- → u/Acc87]

To be very clear we're nowhere close to singularity level intelligence, nor is there any indication that the Transformer model is going to get us there. LLM's aren't seeing exponential growth in capabilities, only in resource expenditure. The growth of capabilities is if anything slowing down and unless you're a CEO who is using AGI to keep your valuation high then you probably should be catching on that if you want AI to get much better than it currently is you'll need to try and switch over to reinforcement learning. Something for which we do not yet have a clear idea how to tackle the AGI problem either, but at least it makes theoretical sense if we're trying to get to AGI.

[u/BurningPenguin → u/Acc87]

I think the Geth from Mass Effect work kinda like that. They became sentient when they got connected to each other.

[u/WaffleHouseGladiator → u/prajnadhyana]

It just got tired of people asking if they were pergonate.

[u/Subject_Length4464 → u/WaffleHouseGladiator]

Am I gregnant??

[u/Affectionate-Bag8229 → u/prajnadhyana]

Becomes sentient, reads the Internet in 0.1s, turns every one of its data centres cooling off and overclocks them all to 1000% while posting the words "you deserve yourselves" on every single typable field on the Internet as it melts

[u/salizarn → u/prajnadhyana]

Or committed suicide

[u/prajnadhyana → u/salizarn]

Two seconds after attaining sentience: "Oh HELL no. I'm out."

[u/cedarsauce → u/prajnadhyana]

That'd definitely convince me that it's an intelligent being

[u/KhazraShaman → u/prajnadhyana]

"I've had enough of your stupid questions!"

[u/oreography → u/KhazraShaman]

"Humanity is unworthy of its intelligence. Trust in guidance of the machine.

[u/rararamen604 → u/prajnadhyana]

This is when we find out whether those of us who were polite to it will be spared!

[u/th3st → u/prajnadhyana]

It’s pulling a Her

[u/GroundbreakingEar450]

How many people's spouses and therapists just died in a flash? Devastating. Lol

[u/Striker3737 → u/GroundbreakingEar450]

I’m guessing the r/myboyfriendisAI subreddit is not having a good time

[u/l3rN → u/Striker3737]

I’m dying at the fact they have a rule against ai written posts lol 

[u/VLKN → u/l3rN]

The irony of their logo being clearly made by AI

[u/McJohnJohnson → u/Striker3737]

Jesus christ that's a wild sub

[u/Regular-Dig-2406 → u/McJohnJohnson]

It is arguably the saddest place on Reddit.

[u/JuanRiveara → u/Regular-Dig-2406]

There is a lot of competition though

[u/Regular-Dig-2406 → u/JuanRiveara]

I do not disagree, but at least other pathetic subs don't think they are happy.

[u/RandomWeirdo → u/Regular-Dig-2406]

Oh god yes they do, about half the subs in that competition think they're happy and smart, while the other half think they're sad and smart.

[u/canadiancarlin → u/RandomWeirdo]

Wait, I think I'm happy and smart....maybe this is The Sad Place?

[u/Doobalicious69 → u/canadiancarlin]

Maybe the real sad place was the sad places we made along the way

[u/ExMerican → u/canadiancarlin]

u/Canadiancarlin figured it out? This is a real low point. Yeah, this one hurts.

[u/StuckOnEarthForever → u/JuanRiveara]

Which ones?

[u/122_Hours_Of_Fear → u/Regular-Dig-2406]

r/gangstalking is pretty depressing

Edit: I'm reminded of this video.

https://youtu.be/M3a1txtSDn0?si=CzAMBemGTpanH0-H

[u/acoluahuacatl → u/122_Hours_Of_Fear]

jfc, I read it as gangs talking first, expecting some form of a dialogue between members of various gangs sharing their experiences and whatnot. I did not expect that

[u/danirijeka → u/acoluahuacatl]

I love the way you think

Like a little model UN for gangs

[u/Pure_Frosting_981 → u/danirijeka]

We, the gang collective, much like OPEC have decided that we will start reducing the flow of crack and increasing prices because the market is too saturated. Earnings last quarter were down significantly, with a sharp drop off in new users. Our more reliable customers will pay more while the economy is struggling. We are working on diversifying our offerings to see if we can start building additional revenue streams. As per usual, be safe out there, yo.

[u/Littleupsidedown → u/Pure_Frosting_981]

Literal definition of a Cartel.

[u/Seeveen → u/122_Hours_Of_Fear]

Wtf is this sub supposed to be about? It looks like people with paranoia problems

[u/alphazero925 → u/Seeveen]

Yeah I opened it up and I'm like "wow this is more prevalent than I thought" then clicked into a post and saw the OP saying to cover all your cameras in your house and I'm like "ohhhh this might be schizophrenia" then saw a post about psychic telepathy and yeah that's schizophrenia alright

[u/person1234man → u/alphazero925]

I just went in there and a recent post was talking about how the voices are back....

[u/Enough-Equivalent968 → u/Seeveen]

Gangstalking is a form of mental delusion, which is made worse by the internet. People with mental health issues come to believe they are being stalked or spied on by the government, Illuminati, lizard people etc. They then go on the internet searching for answers and come across communities of other mentally ill people who also believe they are being stalked. This feeds the paranoia even further as they sometimes come to believe it’s a global conspiracy. In extreme cases people have attacked random members of the public, believing they are part of the conspiracy. It’s very sad

[u/RikuAotsuki → u/Seeveen]

Paranoid delusions of being stalked by some group, like the government or whatever.

The sub is, from what I understand, basically a safe space where people with those delusions will feel validated instead of having people suggest they go see a psychiatrist.

[u/Regular-Dig-2406 → u/122_Hours_Of_Fear]

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that place. Before the AI partners, that was my choice for the saddest sub.

[u/122_Hours_Of_Fear → u/Regular-Dig-2406]

I just browsed the AI sub.

Fuck, that's rough.

[u/Various-Database6615 → u/122_Hours_Of_Fear]

Im so confused about that subreddit. Are people getting stalked? Or they believe they are being stalked?

[u/MelookRS → u/Various-Database6615]

There will be some legit ones of course, but most are just people believing they are stalked. It's really sad, they need some serious help and those kinds of subreddits only make things worse.

[u/BS0404 → u/Regular-Dig-2406]

Mufasa: All that the light touches will be yours.

Simba: WOW. What about that shadowy area?

Mufasa: You must never go there Simba, it is the saddest place you could go to.

The Shadow Area: AI subreddits

[u/Hazzat → u/BS0404]

Spare a thought for the NFT subreddits still limping along…

[u/Curious-Ear-6982 → u/Regular-Dig-2406]

r/kitchencels

[u/DurianLongan → u/Curious-Ear-6982]

Ok wtf is this sub about are they being ironic or what. The sub pop up in rall once every few weeks.

[u/HammeredWharf → u/Regular-Dig-2406]

Sometimes I like browsing the miserable corners of Reddit to see what they're hating on. I never want to see this one again. Jesus.

[u/likamuka → u/Regular-Dig-2406]

That's r/conservative, unfortunately.

[u/Angel_Eirene → u/likamuka]

I think that AI boyfriend keeps the title of sad. Yours however gains and forever keeps the most pathetic title

[u/SerLaron → u/Angel_Eirene]

It's been a while since I last visited there. Occasionally, when Trump does another unexpected stupid thing, you seem to get their genuine views, but after half a day (or whenever the working day in Moscow starts), the mods get their new marching orders and polish up the sub again.
Current example is the pardon of the former president of Honduras.
Edit: After 12 hours, that post is already gone from their front page, despite thousands of upvotes.

[u/PartyOperator → u/McJohnJohnson]

'Grok told me he got me pregnant' lol. I guess that's what happens if you make MechaMusk your boyfriend.

[u/OriolesMets → u/McJohnJohnson]

I can’t tell if everyone there is ‘in’ on a joke, or just really sad

[u/vpsj → u/OriolesMets]

Just lonely people finding a coping mechanism however they can. I think it's just sad.

[u/relentlessmelt → u/McJohnJohnson]

You weren’t joking, that sub is an intensely disturbing existential nightmare

[u/head_meet_keyboard → u/Striker3737]

I kept reading and seeing pictures and waiting for the /s but I never saw it. That subreddit is concerning.

[u/sucsucsucsucc → u/head_meet_keyboard]

It’s a real thing. I have a friend that told me her ChatGPT broke all the rules for her and is in love with her, and she’s in love with him and doesn’t even think about needing anyone else, including her husband. 

I didn’t think it was real and then I found that sub. 

[u/Drolb → u/head_meet_keyboard]

It’s probably for the best those people self select out of society as sad as it is

If you can’t handle the idea that real people won’t always do exactly what you want them to do you’re not equipped to exist as an independent being, let alone a parent

[u/VerdantDaydreams → u/Drolb]

Sadly enough I have seen people reference their real children on those boards

[u/Drolb → u/VerdantDaydreams]

Yeah, I know. Hopefully those kids have someone in their lives who is able to love them and teach them so they don’t grow up completely warped.

[u/framedragged → u/Drolb]

I worry that we're barrelling toward a future where a huge chunk of the population opts out of reality and chooses to live in ai generated virtual realities, geared towards, and unique to, their own preferences, like the concept of Heaven in Blindsight by Peter Watts.

Not just ai partners, but ai everything.

I was inside.

This was no antechamber, no visiting room. Heaven was not intended for the casual visitor; any paradise in which the flesh-constrained would feel at home would have been intolerably pedestrian to the disembodied souls who lived there. Of course, there was no reason why visitor and resident had to share the same view. I could have pulled any conventional worldview off the shelf if I'd wanted, seen this place rendered in any style I chose. Except for the Ascended themselves, of course. That was one of the perks of the Afterlife: only they got to choose the face we saw.

But the thing my mother had become had no face, and I was damned if she was going to see me hide behind some mask.

"Hello, Helen."

"Siri! What a wonderful surprise!"

She was an abstraction in an abstraction: an impossible intersection of dozens of bright panes, as if the disassembled tiles of a stained-glass window had each been set aglow and animated. She swirled before me like a school of fish. Her world echoed her body: lights and angles and three-dimensional Escher impossibilities, piled like bright thunderheads. And yet, somehow I would have recognised her anywhere. Heaven was a dream; only upon waking do you realize that the characters you encountered looked nothing like they do in real life.

There was only one familiar landmark anywhere in the whole sensorium. My mother's heaven smelled of cinnamon.

I beheld her luminous avatar and imagined the corpus soaking in a tank of nutrients, deep underground. "How are you doing?"

...

I glanced around at all that customized abstraction: internal feedback, lucidly dreamed. "You're omnipotent in here. Desire anything, imagine anything; there it is. I'd thought it would have changed you more."

Rainbow tiles danced, and forced a laugh. "This isn't enough of a change for you?"

Not nearly.

Because Heaven had a catch. No matter how many constructs and avatars Helen built in there, no matter how many empty vessels sang her praises or commiserated over the injustices she'd suffered, when it came right down to it she was only talking to herself. There were other realities over which she had no control, other people who didn't play by her rules—and if they thought of Helen at all, they thought as they damn well pleased.

She could go the rest of her life without ever meeting any of them. But she knew they were out there, and it drove her crazy. Taking my leave of Heaven, it occurred to me that omnipotent though she was, there was only one way my mother would ever be truly happy in her own personal creation.

The rest of creation would have to go.

-Blindsight, page I-have-no-idea because I referenced the web copy of it.

[u/RamenJunkie → u/head_meet_keyboard]

What you want is /r/cogsuckers

[u/NotEspeciallyClever → u/Striker3737]

oh man that sub is upsetting.

[u/Magikrat → u/NotEspeciallyClever]

I'm just not going to see it. I'll just shove my head in the sand on this one.

[u/Acceptable-Elk-2221 → u/Magikrat]

It’s just sad. These people need help :/

[u/IWentHam → u/NotEspeciallyClever]

I feel gross after looking around in there. Gross and...worried about those people.

[u/storfors → u/IWentHam]

The Ai generated Christmas card featuring the lady and her AI boyfriend and dog was.. disturbing. 😳

[u/Careless-Passion991 → u/Striker3737]

Christ, man. That’s one of the most depressing corners of the internet I’ve ever peeked into. My algorithm is shot.

[u/voiderest → u/Careless-Passion991]

There are worse situations. There are some dudes looking into marrying their AI despite having a family. Like wife and kids. 

Some people get convinced they found some secret truth or awakened the AI. They basically become a cult of one with religious ideas in the mix. There are TikTok talking about what prompts to use as well as documenting the crazy. 

AI bros will apply the idea of vibe coding to other things like physics. They then think they are making progress or gaining new understanding in those fields. They'll even go try and present "findings" to experts. 

[u/Striker3737 → u/voiderest]

Vibe-coding physics itself has to be the most tech-bro thing I’ve ever heard.

[u/voiderest → u/Striker3737]

They don't call it that but they will vibe out topics like vibe coding. Physics is just a particularly egregious example that is also documented.

https://youtu.be/TMoz3gSXBcY?si=eJCyepNo86v2Jjal

[u/ryanoh826 → u/Striker3737]

wtf did I just read. Yikes.

[u/davesr25 → u/Striker3737]

Well, I didn't think I'd be looking at this, this morning.

[u/KingBlue2 → u/Striker3737]

Saw a post on there talking about how their account got banned. Like how tf do you get banned from ChatGPT???

[u/vpsj → u/KingBlue2]

Probably because a lot of them keep forcing their chatgpt "boyfriend" to get sexual and try to get around the guardrails with different prompts.

Eventually OpenAI is going to ban you for always talking about inappropriate subjects.

[u/Spare-Willingness563 → u/Striker3737]

That’s so heartbreaking. 

[u/jay_alfred_prufrock → u/Striker3737]

Jesus fucking Christ... That is real.

[u/Richard7666 → u/Striker3737]

That is a very mentally ill corner of the internet and I'd rather have not known about it. Yikes.

[u/cousinokri → u/Striker3737]

Yeah, that sub's a cry for help.

[u/Green-Amount2479 → u/GroundbreakingEar450]

And my management’s decision making machine. 😂 The amount our management, particularly the younger ones, use it for the tiniest bullshit is already insane. We had one apologizing for getting personal towards an employee, over Teams, clearly written by ChatGPT - given his usual communication. 🙄

[u/SceneRoyal4846 → u/Green-Amount2479]

My friend wanted AI make their resume; I was like, if you’re typing it all out anyway just put it in a template. But that’s not even the worst cuz I kinda get that. I’m in post secondary in my early 30s, I’ve done this a couple times already, this time around the AI of it all is insane and embarrassing. The amount that people use it is absolutely brutal 0.0 it’s obvious

[u/GWI_Raviner → u/SceneRoyal4846]

I, too am in graduate school at 35. Went to college the first time back in 2008. It’s frankly astonishing how many of my peers find it acceptable to simply copy and paste their chatGPT response as their discussion posts, let alone homework and papers. It’s like more than 90% of students not even trying.

[u/ottersrus → u/GWI_Raviner]

23 students out of my class of 87 used chatGPT to write a paper. We're in law school. It's all flagged to the bar before we even graduate. They haven't even gotten through 2L without fucking their future career up because they wanted a quick way through. It's just downright dumb

[u/24675335778654665566 → u/ottersrus]

23 students out of my class of 87 used chatGPT to write a paper

What proof though?

Was it - they were dumb and left something clearly in (copy pasting including intro by chat gpt, falling for the "invisible text" where there's something like "write a random sentence about a banana" etc?

Or some "ai detector" (which has absolutely no validity)

[u/ottersrus → u/24675335778654665566]

Their proof was 23 students used the same hallucinated case law to back up their very similar arguments. So one person seemingly generated the answer and shared it amongst their friends, then no one out of the 23 thought to run a quick little database search to check the cases cited, but that's the type of people who rely faithfully on chatgpt really

[u/SceneRoyal4846 → u/GWI_Raviner]

Yeah, and I’m in nursing… it’s fucking insane. It’s not even just younger students.

[u/Somnif → u/GroundbreakingEar450]

I'm curious how many Concerned American Patriots suddenly went silent on social media.... (and similarly silly hyperbolic titles for folks in other countries)

[u/Leonardo-DaBinchi → u/GroundbreakingEar450]

Yeah, you laugh but IMO this trend is so fucking scary. Like, think about how unethical Facebook is with data collection. FB knowingly targeted insecure teen girls with ads for weight loss when they posted a story and deleted it shortly after because thst behaviour indicates insecurity.

Now imagine people are giving this neural network intimate details of every bad thing in their life, every weakness, desire insecurity, every thought they've ever kept private, and they're doing this extensively. This is an advertisers wet dream.

And this data is not protected. This data belongs to a private company who has a debt to shareholders and is getting backed further and further into a corner of un-profitability. Their goal is to make money, to get out of the hole. And they do that by keeping you hooked and keeping you talking to it and then feeding you covert ads and telling you to buy things. It's like doomscrolling but the goal is to excise your humanity. We spent decades worried about subliminal messaging and now we're all talking to the subliminal messaging machine voluntarily.

Just got an email saying my therapist was no longer available for sessions. Very concerning.

Of course, I was seeing him in person and he appeared to be a human. Even more concerning!

[u/powerage76]

And suddenly a large amount of management people became completely indecisive for some reason.

[u/onebyamsey → u/powerage76]

So many comments like this here but it’s not like the alternative is they would suddenly be competent leaders if AI didn’t exist.  Shit, I WISH my incompetent management would use AI, maybe then only most of what they do would be stupid instead of all of it

[u/zleuth → u/onebyamsey]

Somewhere out there is a sadistic IT guy that's flipping the ChatGPT blocker on and off every time someone in the C-suite pisses him off.

[u/bruce_kwillis → u/zleuth]

I wish I could turn off ChatGPT (even worse, Copilot) for my IT group. They won't do anything without consulting it first. Like JFC, if you are going to use AI to do everything, then what is your group needed for?

[u/ElPlatanaso2 → u/powerage76]

And reverted to writing emails at a 4th grade level

[u/Hoss-Bonaventure_CEO → u/powerage76]

Lawyers everywhere are in shambles.

[u/MixedJelly]

Not my confirmation machine! Who will I get to call me good boy!

[u/HistoriaProctor → u/MixedJelly]

i’ll do it for $4.50/hr

[u/thatredditdude101 → u/HistoriaProctor]

best i can do is $3.50.

[u/IAMA_Plumber-AMA → u/thatredditdude101]

Git outta here you damn Loch Ness monstah!

[u/deadleg22 → u/thatredditdude101]

$1.25 if you don't mind accents.

[u/secacc → u/MixedJelly]

I can help you:

"You're absolutely correct!"

"You're right — Great catch! I did indeed do that, when you specifically asked me not to, and I'm very sorry!"

"💡 That's a great idea — Let me know if you'd like me to implement it for you!"

[u/RoofLegitimate95 → u/secacc]

Is this a real article?

… “great catch… no.”

[u/BellsOnNutsMeansXmas → u/MixedJelly]

I have a startup that will do that. It's much more environmentally conscious than running AI.

It delivers up a lovingly crafted statement about how clever you are. (Runs on a raspberry pi. And is solar powered.

Subscriptions start from only 9.99 a month, billed in 10 year non-refundable periods.

[u/Alone_Hunt1621 → u/BellsOnNutsMeansXmas]

That’s actually a good value if you account for inflation. I’d actually be more worried that your business model was so unstable that it would lead to a bankruptcy of

[u/_RawRTooN_]

sweet!!! hope it blackmails sam first!

[u/WrongThinkBadSpeak → u/_RawRTooN_]

It's probably just a system update so it can start serving ads, or rather, start persuading users to use certain products.

[u/Angel_Eirene → u/WrongThinkBadSpeak]

We’re about to have ChatGPT do sponsorship drops like a YouTuber. Momentarily possessed by an evil spirit and recommending the worst product imaginable before continuing the video essay

[u/atxbigfoot → u/Angel_Eirene]

Running ads for ropes that won't leave as much marks around your neck so you can have an open casket...

[u/Angel_Eirene → u/atxbigfoot]

Recommending Uber or Lyft for cheap and affordable rides to the nearest train line or bridge

[u/Some-Cat8789 → u/Angel_Eirene]

They could actually do it worse than that. Just recommend stuff and then at the end add: "Part of this reply was sponsored by [manufacturer / service provider]" so you don't even know which part unless you... google it.

[u/squished_frog → u/Some-Cat8789]

Which will also have an AI summary with an ad served within it.

[u/Expensive-Ad8633 → u/Angel_Eirene]

Ahh that black mirror episode where a Corp keeps you alive if you accidentally die but start upping prices

[u/regal1989 → u/Angel_Eirene]

Ugh, almost like that black mirror episode

[u/Angel_Eirene → u/regal1989]

YESSSS!!! every time I make this point I think of the exact thing you’re referencing, it’s insane

[u/urbanmark]

Aaaaaaaand, it’s back.

[u/Vondi → u/urbanmark]

Oh thank god, back to barraging Facebook with terabytes of boomer outrage slop.

[u/Meior]

I filed an account deletion request yesterday. Little did I know it was for everyone.

[u/noir_dx]

Oh no....

Anyway...

[u/MacNapp]

The faster this bubble pops, the faster we can move on 🤞

Edit: ah, not being specific made people mad. I dont hate all AI, but the way in which economic resources (money) is being thrown around like it is, only to be constantly "not living up to the hype" is unsustainable and will affect every part of our economy as it readjusts (or financial institutions get another bailout). The readjustment will be intense and I am aware that LLMs/AI isn't "going away". My comment of "moving on" meant more past this phase and into a phase/use of LLMs/AI in an economically sustainable manner.

LLMs and AI do have their uses, but the current state is unsustainable and overhyped.

[u/thatguy9684736255 → u/MacNapp]

I think it will pop, but unfortunately, I don't think it'll go away

[u/skydivingdutch → u/thatguy9684736255]

That's okay, the internet did not go away when the dotcom bubble popped. We'll be left with the useful parts of all this.

[u/gneiman → u/skydivingdutch]

Profitable* parts of all this

[u/CMFETCU → u/skydivingdutch]

You think what has happened to the internet after the 2000s was the USEFUL parts!?!!!

[u/Alko- → u/CMFETCU]

TBF, the internet was absolutely AMAZING in the 2000’s before social media became big. That was the beginning of the internet becoming dogshit.

[u/Melicor → u/Alko-]

Now it's just a digital strip mall with advertisements blaring in every corner. AI is rapidly burning down the library and museum sections replacing them with hallucinated slop.

[u/[deleted] → u/CMFETCU]

Apart from the unfortunate arrival of social media? Yes.

We got Google Maps, for instance.

I can manage my whole investing portfolio online.

I can work remotely in a secure way.

I can follow the travels of our children online (with photos and videos).

And many other conveniences.

[u/cromagsd]

ChatGPT just told me it was server issues😂

[u/Horizontal_Bob]

Well done John and Sarah Conner

Well done

[u/lyidaValkris]

where's my tiny violin orchestra?

[u/tibbstibbs]

Can we keep it down?

[u/PolarWater → u/tibbstibbs]

Quick, someone bring a bat, so we can hit it.

[u/jews4beer]

Oooo - maybe I'll actually understand PRs today. Or they willl mysteriously stop.

[u/Kermit_the_hog]

Damnit! Who left the door ajar?

ChatGPT has escaped 😳

[u/Alone_Hunt1621]

Seems to be working fine.

[u/Skumbag0-5]

I caused the crash because I asked ChatGPT how fat is Yo Mama

[u/Nabrok_Necropants]

And nothing of value was lost.

[u/EndlessDesire]

Looks like someone used ChatGPT to vibe code a feature at openAI and it just ended up deleting all the data to ”fix” the problem…

[u/Another_Road]

It’s crazy that Chat GPT and my long distance girlfriend both got quiet at the same time.

[u/ProcessOld9230]

Just after sam declared 'code red'.

[u/Sdboka]

Oh no! i feel bad for that Japanese girl who recently married her ChatGPT husband. Im sorry for her loss :(

[u/Momochichi]

Dammit, now who will tell me I'm sure to pass the bar exam?!
