This is just dumb, chat bots are the dumbest of technologies.

They're really not when used correctly

I really enjoy AI chatbots, but they are fucking toys that are occasionally useful. The idea of deploying them commercially is fucking insane.

The best comparison I've seen is that they're interns: They can do a lot of grunt work but you need to double check their results

AI is a tool, not a solution, but that won't stop people from selling it as a solution.

Shitty ass Mayor Adams: "it's not a bug, it's a feature"

Hochul and Adams both need to get replaced as soon as they can be voted out, we gotta stop being fooled by Right leaning Centrists within the Democratic party, just being a "Democrat" is absolutely not good enough, especially with all of the centrist Republicans joining the party. Although it shows that if Trump loses in November and the MAGA corrupted GOP collapse the Dems are poised for becoming the new conservative party, which means the left leaning Dems should form something new, which would restore the adversarial balance that we've been losing since the rise of the Tea Party/Freedom caucus/MAGAs within the Republican party.

Just one more election won by the Left could reset our entire political landscape back to the "normal" we used to know, you know, back when the government actually functioned somewhat and wasn't almost completely hampered by treasonous fascist Christian Nationalist Nazi/Confederate/Putin-ite wannabes.🤞

I'm glad people are making the effort to investigate all these deployments and showing people what this tech actually is. More people need to understand this isn't some advanced intelligence. It's neat and can be useful but is oftentimes wrong.

The problem is that when someone fucks up you can fire them. When the AI fucks up... it's the entire company at blame. But AI hallucinates so what do you do? Capitalism gonna capitalism I guess it's just the price of doing business.

Does the AI have penchant for the elderly pop metal group Judas Priest, perhaps?

Statistically speaking, it’s often cheaper for a business to continue doing something illegal until it gets caught in which case they are only fined for the one instance. Often a lawsuit is cheaper than doing something the right way. Just called cost of doing business. So the fact that an AI would suggest what’s the statistically viable is no surprise.

[-] Nightwingdragon@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Part of the problem with AI is that it does not have to concern itself with the side effects or consequences of what it is suggesting. You ask the question of what is the most efficient way to do XYZ. It is going to tell you what the most effective way to do XYZ is. The fact that you'll go to jail, or kill yourself, or cause an even bigger problem is not strictly relevant to the question of "What is the most effective way to do XYZ?". Since the AI will never know, care about, or suffer the consequences of its suggestions means that those side effects can be completely ignored because they do not impede the task at hand.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
