That’s what you get for being funny on Lemmy! This is a serious people only place 🫡

I argue its worse, in the end whatever is being regurgitated from what they see on youtube ends with the video duration, but these people are to believe that these things think - hell they think the AI is smarter than themselves and defer all judgement. I wish it remained an internet phenomena but I’ve met too many true believers already 😑

/anecdote

Guy in one of my code classes, would not just fucking tell me if he wrote his code, or the AI did. I knew the AI did, because you don’t come asking why it’s not working when he didn’t declare any variables, big red error “variable not declared”. It was the end of that semester, I was there with him every single period. The audacity to have me debug the shitbot’s chicken scratch, claim its super helpful, but also cover its dumb ass by being an even bigger dumbass and fail probably the easiest javascript course you could’ve asked for. I am honestly still in awe.

I eavesdropped on a project manager really trying to convince upper management to make IT let him install an AI program that (by what I heard) would read from the screen and interact with our PMS. Straight up suggesting to have himself replaced.

I wouldn’t say this compares to say the Satanic Panic, but I mean look at how it’s being advertised - especially Apple Intelligence (seriously look it up) - this is very much the way they expect AI to be used (write my friend a birthday text, etc).

Not to mention the real material concerns over the deployment of now even more massive and power intensive datacenters, running on gas turbines because the grid can’t feasibly power it, to feed psychophantic language generators designed to keep users hooked and reaffirming even their most violent thought, even leading kids to suicide by way of delusions - again because of how these models are designed in particular, and how they’re pushed to consumers. To say there’s absolutely no actionable concern is a farce.

Nazis have always appropriated culture, since they lack the prerequisite humanity to make art of their own

Assuming that 83 fatalities is up to date for Tesla vehicle fires, is 16 deaths distributed per model a good stat to you?
