It's kind of a hilarious that when humans try to create god, it's a manipulative bullshit artist.

First Sundar Pichai, now Tim Cook, both admitting that generative "AI," by dint of its very foundations (cf. "Bias Optimizers"), will not and cannot stop bullshitting (cf. "On Bullshit Engines").

Oh no, Tim Apple may need to dawn the instant-credibility turtle neck once more.

wierd how 99% of posts here about AI are snarky putdowns, while in the real world "AI" or "LLMs" or "ChatGPT" are in fact often productive and useful

for me, just me, maybe 20 - 50% of the the time, when I google, the AI generated summary is as good or even better then the links

and "alphafold"

I like that you read this as a snarky putdown of AI and not humanity. When the machine god goes live, your support will be cataloged and noted.

according to stuff I read, it is possible that AI powered "bionic eyes" might actually, in a few years, give some limited vision to blind people (I think this isreal, not tech bro hype)

so maybe you should tell blind people how they need to suffer so you can live AI free ?

thanks !!

If you read, say, @erictopol.bsky.social then you will learn that if not today, then soon, AI will be helping cancer patients live longer
so maybe you should tell people with cancer why AI is bad ?

Is your theory that if you generate enough words to put into my mouth, that I might argue with you in a way that fullfills your pre-programmed goals? Or is any response enough to show middle management that it worked?

brooklynkid53bskys.bsky.social•171 days ago

of course I understand that no one on social media ever admits to being wrong

just venting tht you , a comedian by your bio, know absolutely nothing about AI, but like all rich people you are quite willing to condemn others to a life of misery for your political views

mercurialblonde.bsky.social•171 days ago

No where in my bio does it say I'm a comedian. You know nothing of my views, political or otherwise. Your responses are pre-programmed word salads that only have a passing relationship to that which they are are responding. If I thought you were sentient, I would say you were a fool.

Regular humans aren't trying to make god.
TechBros are.
AI reflects TechBros.
Give any answer even a wrong one, then double down to defend it.
