Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

There was the same bitching about calculators, Google search, and Wikipedia, too.
Also they taught us a template way of writing emails in middle school. We already have been copying writing.
The real problem with AI is mass surveillance from the large companies.
Calendars are correct. Calculators are correct. Ai just bullshits. It is not the same.
I think we really need to talk about this. Calculators caused people to not do Math in their heads or be forced to work the problem. Now people have no idea how fucked they are when their is 25% interest on credit cards.
Wikipedia wasn't too bad since resources were linked. Everyone blindly followed google and now they have partially caused a surveillance state.
The problem with AI is that it tells you to do things in a way that can cause security issues. It also has serious mental health impacts and causes critical thinking to atrophy. I spent hours working out a bug with an AI one day and it quit working. My first thought was if I upset it. Knowing a bit about how the algos work and having coded myself, I should have known better. My reaction alarmed me. If that happened even to me, then what's happening to all these other people? It's scary. Humans are social creatures and have been using language to communicate for thousands of years. It breaks our brains when a non sentient object can do what AI does.
I'm not sure what the solution is, but I fear the safety concerns are way worse than we can imagine.
IDK man, google search do kinda be doo doo garbage and also getting worse every year. Wikipedia is fine if you check the sources.
I think AI has a place in local LLMs to help, but the way they're being used is to replace thinking.
This is infuriating.
You are supposed to take the training wheels off at some point, dude! Oh my god, I'm gonna rip my hair out...
