Sorry, but I think that’s a wrap on the conversation. She beet you. Sometimes, a joke goes flat and you’ve gotta roll with it.

all of your claims have so many asterisks attached that they’re essentially pointless

No they don’t, but say whatever you need to ignore me. That’s definitely what someone arguing in good faith would do.

internet access has been shown to have all the same negative effects

it’s a useful technology

Quite the opposite, actually. It causes enormous problems and has no benefits that aren’t better served by existing technologies that lack those problems.

Nobody who uses AI treats it like a tool, they treat it like an employee they can claim credit for. And most tools aren’t actively detrimental to the user to the point of proven intelligence drops, lawsuits and environmental destruction. Also, the enemy charges you money to use it.

The only person who benefits from AI is the person selling it. So why are you trying to defend it?

I would rather wear a gimp mask. Less embarrassing.

And all without a single junior dev in the open office hearing their genius. Aside from the junior dev who bought the fucking thing in the vain hope they could roleplay as a more competent employee. That junior dev can hear themself going “no, fuck, delete, how do I- no, stop typing, you stupid fucking thing”, which I assume counts as “genius”.

Hang on. They had to ship three major updates in a single morning? How the hell is their workflow so bad that they have to- Oh yeah. Vibecoding.

If you see anyone wearing this shit, remember that you can laugh at how stupid they look as much as you want, and their weak copium that it’s a “skill issue” will be swallowed by their copium mask. So you’re free to laugh until they cry.

Alternate version:

“While you’re there, pick up some bread,” she added. He never returned.

Since this is an AI metaphor, the restaurant didn’t hire a cook. They just found a cook with an easily accessible oven and stole a pizza from it.

Hi, sleep deprived. I’m dad! (See how that works?)

isn’t the easiest sell in the privacy community

This is the easiest way to tell this is a bot. They don’t even know what community they’re posting their ad to.

You don’t understand why an unfunny ad on a humour community with a rule against ads is getting downvoted?

RT*** isn’t pointing at RT*, he’s pointing at the TV showing RT**. The fact you think otherwise is what makes the image unclear. I’m not sure why you insist on them being wrong.

I think int*** is meant to be pointing at int**, but the image is just unclear about where everything is in perspective.

You can also get down from a duck, like I said. Why the heck did you post this?

Don’t be such a downer.

LLMs are random. Its weighted randomness that frequently values racist outputs like whitewashing a crowd or calling black people monkies (to name two recent examples), but it is still random. That’s why you can ask it the same question twice and get two different answers.

Ever notice how AI defenders try to pretend the technology is better than it is, and brush past the countless failings and ethical failures inherent to the technology by condemning humanity? A bad toolsmith blames the worker, I guess. At a certain point, if the technology is only doing bad things, or doing things badly, it might just be bad technology.

It makes mistakes with an alarming frequency, all with the same confident tone of writing as when it says anything else. It’s wrong so often that you’d need to use another source of information just to confirm it, which defeats the point in using AI in the first place!

It’s not smarter than the smartest humans, or even AS smart as them, or even as smart as REGULAR humans. It’s not even smart. It’s a magic eight ball that sometimes has the correct answer by pure chance. No intellect. No reasoning. Just probability.

Also: It steals from just about everyone; it encourages suicides and mass shootings; it’s frequently racist in its outputs; it’s burning, boiling and polluting the planet; it’s being forced on people who don’t want it; and billionares are using it to manipulate people. Probably some other stuff I forgot to mention.

Just in case you weren’t sure why AI is bad.

Oi! I’m a lazy programmer with no friends, and I will not take this slander!
