Well, that escalated quickly.
I don’t need Chat GPT to fuck my wife but if I had one and her and Chat GPT were into it then I would like to watch Chat GPT fuck my wife.
good on you!
Thanks. So I have Chat GPT, now all I need is a wife… Maybe I should ask Chat GPT for one.
Yoink, this is now my image, thanks op.
I just had Copilot hallucinate 4 separate functions, despite me giving it 2 helper files for context that contain all possible functions available to use.
AI iS tHe FuTuRE.
The Copilot code completion in VSCode works surprisingly well. Asking Copilot in the web chat about anything usually makes me want to rip my hair out. I have no idea how these two could possibly be based on the same model
Yeah I find the code completion is pretty consistent and learns from other work I’m doing. Chat and asking it to do anything though is a hallucinogenic nightmare.
It quite depends on your use case, doesn’t it? This decades-old phrase about an algorithm in Fractint always stuck with me: “[It] can guess wrong, but it sure guesses quickly!”
Part of my job is getting an overview - just some generic leads and hints - about topics completely unknown to me, really fast. So I just ask an LLM, verify the links it gives and create a response within like 10-15 minutes. So far, no complaints.
Even if it IS the future, it is not the present. Stop using it now.
I use it extremely sparingly. I’m critical of anything it gives me. I find I waste more time fixing its work and removing superfluous code more than I do gaining value from it.
Our tiny company of software engineers have embraced it in the IDE for what it is, a tool.
As a tool we have saved a crazy amount of man hours and as I don’t work for ghouls we recently got pay increases and a reduction in hours.
There are only 7 of us including the two owner / engineers and it’s been a game changer.
It’s cutting my programming work in half right now with quality .NET code. As long as I stay in the lead and have good examples + context in my codebase, it saves me a lot of time.
This was not the case for co-pilot though, but Cursor AI combined with Claude 3.7 is quite advanced.
If people are not seeing any benefit, I think they have the wrong use cases, workflow or tools. Which can be fair limitations depending on your workplace of course.
You could get in a nasty rabbit hole if you vibe-code too much though. Stay the architect and check generated code / files after creation.
Not the person you replied to, but my job wants us to start using it.
The idea that this will replace programmers is dumb, now or ever. But I’m okay with a tool to assist. I see it as just another iteration of the IDE.
Art and creative writing are different beasts altogether, of course.
My wife uses AI tools a lot (while I occasionally talk to Siri). But she uses it for things like: she’s working on a book and so she used it to develop book cover concepts that she then passed along to me to actually design. I feel like this is the sort of thing most of us want AI for—an assistant to help us make things, not something to make the thing for us. I still wrestle with the environmental ethics of this, though.
The environmental impacts can be solved easily by pushing for green tech. But that’s more a political problem that a technical problem IMO. Like stop subsizing oil and gas and start subsizing nuclear (in the short term) and green energy in the long term.
Kwebbelkop making an AI generated video from an AI generated prompt for his AI to react to:
Kwebbelkop said on a Dutch tv channel that all the dutch speaking youtubers were insignificant compared to him. Now the only thing he produces is garbage and the Dutch youtubers still make authentic content.
Fuck kwebbelkop.
Hello! It’s me, ChatGpt! I heard you needed me for a small chore?
That escalated quickly
“you wouldnt let AI fuck your wife”
🥺🥺
I can’t draw as good as AI can and I don’t care enough to learn.
I can write a lot better though.
I generally use local LLM’s and Image generators for role playing though. (Yes that kind)
Incels want to fuck the robot. They want to fuck the robot so badly.
I mean, let them? Who cares?
Women have been fucking robots for decades, let the men have some fun too.
Reminds me of Demi Lardnder and Tom Husband discussing the video of a man reviewing a duck sucking machine
Fucking auto spell I’ll post a link if I find it

Podcast is called bigsofttitty.png episode 309 overly squeaky…
To me the worse thing is, my collage uses ai to make the tests, I can see it’s made by it because of multiple correct options, and in a group the teacher said something like “why lost 1h to make when ai can make it in seconds”
I like to use ai to “convert” citations, like APA to ABNT, I’m lazy for it and it’s just moving the position of the words so yeah
cope harder 🤡
yeah imma keep it real with you, i ain’t wasting my time writing an essay or sum when i can take one sentence into an AI instead. more free time for me.
however i do not possess the audacity to then claim that i am a “AI writer” or sum
Yay! More free time to eat the crayons!
or, you know, pursue my hobbies instead of slaving away at my job
You write essays at your job?
it was an example.
i am still an apprentice so i have to write a lot at vocational college. which i outsource to ChatGPT quite often
Isn’t the point of being at a college… to learn stuff?
im only there cause law dictated my presence for my occupation to be acknowledged. i have yet to learn something i didn’t learn at my work beforehand
Being on the IT industry, I can assure you that AI can teach you more stuff than most teachers. But that’s not to give credit to AI, it’s a result of my country, and many others, not investing on education.
I mean, yeah, if you’re doing college or university just to certify the skills you already have, all the power to you. I’ve also learned a lot of stuff despite my professors’ best efforts to make it as dull as possible (which was in 2010s). But framing it as anything but means to game the broken system is not it.
Did you edit your comment so that mine doesn’t make sense?
That’s skeevy.
no i didn’t. i didn’t edit a single comment in this thread
I write code at my job, and it makes me faster at writing code.
i feel like this is emblematic for the shit state of the world. like ppl should write essays because they wanna say something. if you can have an ai write your essay for you, then why are u even writing an essay in the first place? i know the answer to that is because your school or work commands it, and thats such alienating bs.
Yeah the AI can by definition only regurgitate ideas. It’s precisely the opposite of why humans write essays.
That hasn’t been true for a little bit now. They are increasingly able to solve novel problems outside the training set.
I get the pushback against AI, I really do. But let’s at least be honest about their capabilities.
A lot of people here just lack the critical thinking to properly critisize AI. Yes, AI is guilty of a lot of mediocre slop, it doesn’t mean that AI as a whole is bad in every possible regard.
It doesn’t take much big brain to mistrust the ideas coming from AI. How are those children’s books written by AI and sold on Amazon coming along?
It also doesn’t take much of a big brain to realize you can do more with AI than to use it as a writer or as an ideation tool for writing, which is a bad way to use it. Which goes back to my point that you need better critical thinking to criticize AI, because this ain’t it.
My criticism of AI in this thread sums up to: it sucks for long form writing, and also for creating kids’ books.
Your thing is, be better at criticizing AI. Ok. Go ahead.
They are increasingly able to solve novel problems outside the training set.
[citation needed]
I’m sure the argument here will be about the definition of “novel” no matter what evidence I provide. Every time LLMs do something previously supposed impossible, people quickly move the goalposts. Downvote me all you want, I know Lemmy is strongly anti-AI and nothing I say actually matters.
Lol, I can’t even downvote you cuz my instance doesn’t support them.
I’m genuinely curious because it sounds like you’re suggesting that the models are moving past just being generative transformers into something more intelligent, and I just have not seen evidence of that. Only empty claims of it existing and using very weak examples of ‘novel responses’ that still is just a generative transformers response.
But sure, if you can’t support your point with solid evidence, passive aggressive dismissal of skepticism works just as well. People are constantly fed a narrative that AI is amazing and can do all this novel shit, but I have yet to see anything to back it up.
Only empty claims of it existing and using very weak examples of ‘novel responses’ that still is just a generative transformers response.
Right, this is exactly what I’m talking about. Saying that it’s “still just a generative transformer’s response” by definition presupposes that every response must be unnovel, even if the solution can be proven to not be in the training set. This is a pointless discussion if that is the line you want to draw.
Imagine having your job be to learn and you make an autocorrect do it
answer to that is because your school or work commands it
Is… is that not the answer? At least that’s my personal experience with it. Few people enjoy writing essays.
but then why are you even bothering with work or school? Take some pride in your work, put some effort in to improve your life. You will learn more/perform better.
school was kinda mandatory…
yeah and it’s important. You wanna see what happens when you neglect school? Look at America.
My country has one of the best educations in the world. I was pretty decent in essays as well. But in no way did I particularly enjoy them. So idk what your point is.
Nobody said you have to enjoy them, learning how to formulate and structure your thought process is still important
It might be important, but also inefficient and genuinely terrible to live through for many people. I don’t understand how some people can look back fondly of school, mine was fucking awful.
In my 5 years at secondary school in the UK, 2 teachers arrested for rape of a student, one disappeared with no statement given after getting into a fist fight with a student and teachers looking the other way at violence between kids was a daily occurrence. Often went home with bruises and no one cared, told our head of year before and he blamed me for it, apparently climbing a tree means I deserve to be thrown into a wall and pushed into a main road.
yeah your precious time
my time on this planet is as limited as yours or any others. i will make the most of it. just cause you don’t value your time, doesn’t mean others shouldn’t too
The only time you’re wasting is time you could be improving yourself. By having the AI write for you, you’re choosing to not improve your writing/research/analytical skills, and hoping the dipshit bot that’s writing your essay doesn’t just make bullshit up out of whole cloth.
I’m not saying not to use the AI to assist with the process, but IMO that should be more on the gathering sources side than the composition side.
I don’t need to “improve myself” at every task I ever take. Rather save the time and then chill on the beach with a pint instead.
It’s so strange to see folks randomly adopt this hardcore grindset mentality when AI is mentioned.
At this particular moment, for this particular task I am not seeking to improve my skills
OH, Well I guess you’ve never cared about a thing in your life and you want robots to take all your joy and fuck your wife??
the only thing i’d improve at is to pull words out my ass to get the presentation to 10 minute length although everything could be said in 3 minutes. i use AI to take care of the bullshit, then i fact check and improve/rewrite. that way i didi in 20 minutes what others took hours to do
Not everything is improving.
These last week I had to make some questions about a topic to test myself, and to practice answering those questions.
I don’t need to improve in “question writing skills” or anything like that. Even better, it’s very convenient to not known what questions would I get so it’s more like a real exam. So I just took an LLM inputted the topic I wanted to be asked about and told it to make me questions.
I’m very happy with the results, it was fast and help me practice answering the questions about the topic I was studying.
