"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

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.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

A Discord community for gay gamers is in disarray after one of its moderators and an executive at Anthropic forced the company’s AI chatbot on the Discord, despite protests from members.

Users voted to restrict Anthropic's Claude to its own channel, but Jason Clinton, Anthropic’s Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and a moderator in the Discord, overrode them. According to members of this Discord community who spoke with 404 Media on the condition of anonymity, the Discord that was once vibrant is now a ghost town. They blame the chatbot and Clinton’s behavior following its launch.

Holy shit, the mods made a poll of whether members want the chatbot to be in its own channel or everywhere in the server, they voted "please just keep it in its own channel", and this guy said, and I quote: "the mob doesn’t get to rule." Wow.

Also, as usual with these guys, there isn't a "no integration" option, just "limited" or "free roam"... Not that it matters bc he'd disregard the results of the poll anyway lmao.

I listened to the podcast about this one. Apparently when everyone said to keep it out, he insisted that it was sentient and that it would literally hurt it's feelings, so he couldn't.

and the LLM itself generated text that agreed with the voters

No it didn't.

The AI is not agreeing or thinking, it is just outputting words.

Not trying to harsh you but language is important.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yeah.

Normally I prefer to let “language shortcuts” like this slide, but LLMs are getting way too anthropomorphized amongst the public. See: the headline. So it kinda needs to be qualified.

clarified :) i agree fully
