There are people who should care

If you have a bullshit job then fuck it (except you’re still damagibg both the environment and the economy just to be lazy) but I’m talking about people in roles that are actually useful to society.

They asked me how to modify a pdf because there was a typo

I said you just change the typo in the original document and then remake the pdf

They said they couldn’t do that, because they didn’t have the source document, because they made it with a “resume generator”

I said “What’s a resume generator? Like an LLM wrote it for you?” They said “I don’t know”.

So yeah, they just took the LLM output and ran with it, only changing one typo.

No one pressured them to do this, they did it of their own volition, and it is pathetic.

No one except for AI companies wants teachers to use AI, they’re explicitly supposed to stop students from relying on it, and this fool can’t even recognize an LLM while using it themselves

The only people pushing the use of LLMs are the people who profit from their use, moronic CEOs, and people who can’t understand simple concepts like sentience.

This teacher is a lazy dumbass. You can call me harsh if you want, but I see myself as a realist, harsh or otherwise.

That’s just your opinion man

Almost everyone

It’s not better for the drunk people dining at IHOP at 4am

I see differing opinions get upvoted here with regularity, just not the bad opinions.

The correct way to use AI is to not use it, and instead use your brain.

There might still be time to change course before the cognitive atrophy sets in.

Beyond that, I judge people who rely on chatbots, or put trust in them.

I look down on them. They literally cannot think for themselves, it’s fucking pathetic.

Or they could just actually not use it?

Using it and then obfuscating it’s use is just creating more unnecessary work to end up with a lower quality finished product.

It’s not really that difficult to just not use it, I’ve gone literally my entire life without it and nothing has been “too difficult”.

Thousands of generations have passed before me without using it.

There is no element of inevitability to this. You can just not use it.

My friend (acquaintance maybe) who is a language teacher told me he used a “Resume Generator” to make his resume for him earlier this week.

A resume is the easiest shit ever, it’s one page, and you know all of the information that should be on it. This “language teacher” had to use an LLM to make his, because he’s a dumb lazy bitch.

I feel bad for any kids who end up with such a worthless instructor… I honestly hope he doesn’t find work, the kids deserve better.

No

Let me get a 5.25” drive

I do assume that, and am still somehow constantly subjected to dissapointment

I would also not be surprised, but i was very pleasantly surprised with Tuesday, so I’m trying to be optimistic.

I’ve also been writing my representatives and telling them that we need to see consequences for the oligarchs. Hopefully I’m not the only one, and hopefully they’ve got the stones to do what needs to be done.

They need to create a deterrent effect by administering actual consequences. That’s the only way the ruling class will adjust their future behavior. Blood for blood.

I mean, anyone who didn’t automatically assume that they would do this is either incredibly gullible or massively uninformed.

Im hoping that there’s some accountability this time around

We’ll see what happens, but theyve really pissed people off good this time around

Fourtunately there are free options that dont habe AI, ads, sponsored content, or steal your data.

SearXNG ftw!

Im down

When do we get to eat them?

Lmk when they schedule the summary execution so i can request off work

Yes, and it removes the AI, ads, and sponsored results,; then it uses its own algorithm to order the results more relevantly than google/bing/ddh/etc

You can also choose from which of those search engines (there’s like over 100) it includes results
