Ofcourse not. The issue with social media are the people. Algorithms just bring out the worst in us but it didn’t make us like that, we already were.

They also mindlessly broadcast whatever lies the CEOs of the big tech company’s are telling.

LLMs? Want to give an example of this? When ChatGPT 5 came out I asked it what the “thinking built in” means and it told me it’s probably just a marketing term.

no one else sees that the media is driving a weird campaign against AI

Media criticism tends to fly out the window the moment the narrative aligns with someone’s personal views. Echo chambers can be hard to recognize once you’re inside one. If I didn’t come to Lemmy, I’d barely even know that there are people who’ve made hating AI their whole identity - they seem to be nowhere to be found in the real world.

I do the opposite. The less apps I have on my device the better.

For me LLMs have been the biggest thing since podcasts. Feels almost like gaslighting to read this AI hate here virtually every day as it doesn’t even remotely align with my personal experience of it.

What an awful news article format.

I’d love to know in what field these people struggling this much to find work are trained in. I have a feeling it’s not plumbing.

I disagree with the premise, but I’d wager that people who say “suffering is good” are probably talking about things like lifting heavy at the gym or working long hours - not spitting blood in a ditch.

Definitely a much more evil company than all the others still doing it purely out of fear of being bullied into bankruptcy otherwise.

From my European point of view, this whole thing looks like keeping shoes on indoors - mostly only done by Americans, and even there, most people think it’s stupid.

One situation where I wouldn’t bother explaining myself is when it’s obvious the other person isn’t actually interested in a conversation, and they’re just there to posture and throw accusations.

You have a great day.

I have not downvoted you in this thread.

By what logic?

I’d be bored out of my mind - same as every time someone starts talking about their dreams.

It’s basically the equivalent of making things up as you go. The moment someone says, “I had this dream last night,” I already know none of it actually happened, and I can’t even pretend to care.

You think you have - but there’s really no way of knowing.

Just because someone writes like a bot doesn’t mean they actually are one. Feeling like “you’ve caught one” doesn’t mean you did - it just means you think you did. You might have been wrong, but you never got confirmation to know for sure, so you have no real basis for judging how good your detection rate actually is. It’s effectively begging the question - using your original assumption as “proof” without actual verification.

And then there’s the classic toupee fallacy: “All toupees look fake - I’ve never seen one that didn’t.” That just means you’re good at spotting bad toupees. You can’t generalize from that and claim you’re good at detecting toupees in general, because all the good ones slip right past you unnoticed.

If you want the killing to stop, then you have to talk about viable ways to make it stop - not what would be nice in some perfect universe we don’t live in. I’ve yet to see a single suggestion from you about what should be done instead.

Your cartoon example isn’t even remotely equivalent to the reality Putin is in. He went in expecting to take Kyiv in a week with minimal resistance and no serious Western response. Even in his worst-case planning, he didn’t prepare for what he’s in now. The point where he could have cut his losses passed long ago - he’s gone all in, and now the West is calling his bluff.

Put yourself in his position and look at the “solution” being offered: withdraw all troops, surrender the little territory you’ve gained, and face the full weight of everything you’ve gambled and lost. The alternative? Keep throwing whatever you have left at the problem and hope for a miracle.

Given he’s likely only got another decade or so left to live, there’s no personal incentive to fold now. He has nothing more to lose - he’s not just going to walk away.

I’m not defending Putin’s actions - I’m assessing the realistic options given the current situation. There’s a difference between what should happen in a moral sense and what is actually likely to happen in the real world.

Saying “he should accept the consequences” is easy - but how exactly do you propose making that happen? Wishing for an outcome is not the same as having a way to it. If you think there’s a viable way to get Putin to take personal responsibility or withdraw and survive it personally, I’m genuinely interested in hearing what you think that looks like in practice.

I don’t see a conflict here but I’m happy to explain if you elaborate on what’s confusing about what I said.

Nobody claimed it was a reliable source. However, the fact is that people use it to answer questions anyway - and in cases like this, I think it’s good to let people know where you got the info so they can take it with a grain of salt. The same applies to your friend Kevin, who’s just as likely to confidently spread false info as the truth.

I don’t think that shaming people for using chatGPT is useful. They’re not going to stop using it - they’ll just not tell about it then which is worse.

It’s more of a slang word. I think it’s a variation of the word “pippeli” which means the same thing.

There’s nothing wrong with asking chatGPT and you should mention it as the source for your information. It’s far better than the alternative where people omit this information because of online bullies.
