A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I saw this on reddit, thinking it’s a joke, but it’s not. GPT 5 mini (and maybe sometimes 5) gives this answer. You can check it yourself, or see somebody else’s similar conversation here: https://chatgpt.com/share/689a4f6f-18a4-8013-bc2e-84d11c763a99

Then it should not be used ~~for getting the news?~~

FTFY

True but LLMs genuinely are useful when you want random things like fiction, roleplay, etc.

Sure, they're not totally useless, but that doesn't make their current iteration or rampant proliferation ethical or even worth defending.

[–] npdean@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

Agreed. I have the same opinion about crypto and all current new "innovations" in tech. Everything blown to a bubble without any real utility.

As long as you don't care about consistency, maybe...

(I mean, since they can't learn without retraining the whole model, if you're writing anything of any significant length you'd basically need to refeed them the whole context and backstory so far every prompt, which I assume would eventually hit some prompt size limit...)

True. I meant it is useful for one time things like game night or something, not for work.
