Do You Disregard People IRL who You Know ask AI everything?

What a braindead take. The technology behind calculators is not built upon a foundation of the largest theft in history, nor does it continue to cause immense harm to people around the world. The same goes for the other human inventions you mentioned.

You'd understand that if you weren't so desperate to let a random word generator do your thinking for you.

I might need to ask chatgpt to reply to this comment.

In fact if i ever see your username around i will put it into chatgpt and ask it to generate a reply for me, because i can't think for myself.

Sarcasm aside, i don't believe i've ever asked calculator to answer biology question for me. New normal or not, if the tool serve the purpose of a niche use and ease a particular pain point of a job/routine, then it's a proper tool. If the tool meant to replace and impede logical and critical thinking, it's a weapon against personal intellectual, and i'm genuinely worry about that. The lack of critical thinking and nuance in today society of instant gratification is already bad, in fact it's so bad that the climate changed to what we experienced today, and many people still refused to just wake up a bit and think for themselves. The new normal is people just follow what billionaire said, and you think it's okay.

Yes. It's getting weird. Had a coworker ask me a question if something was possible. I said yes. He said: no, ai said it wasn't. I didn't understand why he asked me if he knew the answer already lol. They just accept ai as truth, can't take those people seriously.

yes.

there's someone at work that doesn't read emails or reports, has AI generate the answers for them and just regurgitates the slop unfiltered.

I interact with them until they start posting slop, then I just ignore that they posted it. when I say ignore, I literally pretend that it doesn't even exist.

if they can pretend that slop has value, I can pretend that it doesn't exist.

My boss did similar thing to me. Asked me something as a specialist, did not believe my answer until he queried an llm and it spit out answer confirming my position. At this point, why even ask people you pay anything? Just wing it with a chat bot and see how it goes.

delusion

yes i ignore their input

friend of me also: So i asked the ai and it said.... yeah whatever dude i don't care

I generally take everything they say with a giant grain of salt, but that was somewhat true even before 2022. Most of the AI-reliant people I know were never that great at evaluating sources of information. It’s just that the problem is far more pronounced now.

At this point, why even ask people you pay anything?

He asked you for that exact reason... but then you gave him an answer he didn't want. He may or may not have known what answer he wanted but as soon as you gave it he knew he wanted it to be something else. The quickest way to get a second opinion, was to ask the LLM.

If it had hallucinated the answer he wanted, he would have demanded going that route, because the AI said so, even if it was literally impossible.

And in his mind, this reinforced the AI as being correct, so he's will be more likely to blindly accept it's responses in the future.

Confirmation bias is one hell of a drug and AI is our supplier. It'll be our downfall

It bugs me, yes. The anthromorphic "ask AI" makes it even worse.

Yes i do; My sister and her husband work in tech and they have become that kind of people that ask chat GTP for everything. I think what gets me the most is not that they ask AI but that they do so on the most obvious inconsequential things. I also hate when they use it as a research tool or to get a quick superficial answer. I often tell them I don't care what AI has to say.

For some reason when people share AI music; it really grinds my gears. I am not a musician but a long time music fan and for some reason any type of AI generated music is an existential insult to me, aside from the fact that it all sucks.

This is terrifying. I would have thought tech professionals would be the most resistant to AI. Job openings in tech are becoming scarce and people seem to have to take a pledge of allegisnce to LLMs to bpget a shoe in.

Just using slop generators at all makes you a moron in my books. Unfortunately I am something of a moron myself when I use free services in an anonymous browser tab to find out something not clear from documentation.

I asked an LLM, and it confirmed they don't know anyone like that.
