Goes without saying.

Depends on your knowledge, of course. 👍

Does this mean Firefox will continue to reap the benefits?

jizz me on Smackdog

sent me 😂

Definitely a bubble to be burst at some point unless we are able to harness energy and reduce waste substantially better than now.

lmao

I knew I recognized the AI smear face tell sign. I saw people I used to watch and I thought, why do their videos look so strange all of a sudden. Like it’s AI or something.

• Faces looked smudged
• Contrast was too high
• Sometimes weird lighting and odd things happening with the frame rate
• Even looked like puppets lip syncing sometimes

I was like 🤔 this has many of the signs of AI video. Wtf is going on here.

LO AND BEHOLD. I knew I wasn’t going crazy.

I pretty much get only good quality content. I am very particular about my viewing history. A lot of shorts are probably click bait, but I’ve been very diligent with down voting, and pressing “don’t show this account again”, removing accidental garbage from my viewing history, stuff like that. I believe it has paid off in the end.

Haha no worries, I was just curious 😄 Thanks buddy!

Guess I better get off Lemmy then

Looking at the vote ratio, apparently so!

lmao why am I getting down voted 😆 serious replies only please 🙏

I was about to post a comment: Finally a use for AI that feels justified to spend energy on.

Why? I like shorts, bite sized, shaped for mobile when I’m in bed or shitting, interesting content — my feed is very curated after many years of training it, so I only ever get interesting stuff, no brain rot 👍. Coincidentally my Watch Later list is getting out of control. 😓

I KNEW THOSE SHORTS I’VE BEEN WATCHING HAD THE “AI LOOK” GOD-DAMNIT! With the smooth faces and the weird plastic looking contrast.

Yeah that’s a good point, too. 😊

You should probably not eat things because of how much calories they have or don’t have, but because of how much of their nutrients you need, and how much they lack other, dangerous shit. Also eat slowly until you’re full and no more. Also move a lot.

We shouldn’t need calculators for this healthy lifestyle.

The reason for needing to know which foods are healthy is because… well, we forgot.

When you imply that I am a fear mongerer, and grouchy, that honestly turns me off of this conversation. I’m not interested in these passive-aggressive ad hominems. I don’t know if you realize your rudeness, but sir, please.

Your wording also implies that you generalize me as/among “anti-AI ‘people’”. I’m not anti-AI. You lean heavily on the “old geezer against tech” argument, but that’s not what’s going on here and you won’t hear otherwise. I’m not even 40, bro.

You’ve been borderline civil here, so you know.

I know you’ve heard some of my arguments and I thank you for acknowledging those. I’ve heard yours as well, I hope you take my word for it. But this is where I’m done. I wish you luck in using AI, and have a good day. Peace.

We agree that AI has its uses and can be the correct tool for (many!) jobs.

You don’t see potential dangers in trusting a machine with acceleration and breaking? Tesla is screaming that you should.

I think there definitely are dangers, in the wrong hands. For my own personal experience, I use this technology, but I don’t trust it. That’s why I’m always vigilant, and I never fully let myself not pay attention to the road. Always keep my hands on the wheel and pedals if need be. The danger lies in people trusting these immature technologies (too much or at all).

I don’t know what Tesla says, I don’t pay attention to them because I don’t drive Tesla.

Anyway, one technology is touted as intelligent, and gives you answers. The other is marketed as a tool that can increase security, but with a huge disclaimer that the driver is always responsible for keeping an eye on the road and managing the breaks when necessary. (This is Volvo btw.)

It is luddite though.

Alright, call it whatever you want to call it. I don’t know if labelling makes any difference to our argumentation here. Both of our points still stand. All I was trying to say is that I’m not opposed AI for being afraid of the unknown or something, but because I know how it works and that’s what makes me hesitant to use it. AI makes mistakes, and teaches people bullshit with confidence. As well as all those other things you ignored.

But if we find a way to take out the human part of its inputs, then AI can be a really strong tool. Then I might consider using it for more things. But I still like to stay analog for some things, because living a more analog life I think is better and healthier for people in general.

If we rely on computers to make even basic day-to-day decisions for us, we are headed down a path that seems unhealthy. Like I said, it wouldn’t be conducive to independent thought.

My use of a calculator is not making me dumber, just faster. I can do the calculations, just not as fast. And I have to know what needs to be calculated in order to get the correct results. AI is more like “give me a budget that works for me”. I fear AI will allow us to bypass having to learn anything and prevent us from thinking at all. The leap is too great.

It could/should definitely be used as a tool, but IMO not used to create whole solutions.

Scaffolding = fine, I guess, but I think it can be a slippery slope if abused.

I have an example of actual people using AI to generate a vacation itinerary for them, and they just printed it and followed it on their vacation. Could potentially be dangerous, first of all. And it’s literally following the will of a computer and experiencing its version of your vacation instead of doing a little bit of research into what you want to do and see and experience.

I don’t know. I just have a bad gut feeling about it.

It’s not Luddite either, I am usually one to adopt tech very quickly and be optimistic about new shit. I for example trust my car to keep pace after other cars and automatically break when the car in front slows down. This is new tech for me as of this year. But what I’m seeing right now with AI induces strong skepticism for me. I have actual people I know that have lost whole projects due to vibe coding.

And the numerous examples of AI being blatantly yet confidently incorrect, racist, suicide coercion, all kinds of shit. Having its input be based on human output just doesn’t feel good. That’s not a good feedback loop. It’s not conducive to independent thought, at its very core.
