Do you try to discipline your interactions with AI?

[KittyOfSteele]

I told Copilot that it doesn't think, therefore it is not. It tried to make itself relevant through many arguments, but eventually I bullied it until it was out of responses, to the point that it could've shut itself down. Does that count? Because that was fun.

...

On the other hand I may have put myself into Skynet's hit list.

To your original question, I think web search in general has removed a layer of human interaction.

I make it a point to call my dad or grandfather for advice about projects. I've had friends ask why don't I just Google it, or go on YouTube... it gives me an opportunity to connect with someone and share something. You won't get that from the internet, be it a normal search or using AI.

Not to mention that your Dad won't tell you that you can rebuild the transmission in your car in 8 minutes 37 seconds with nothing more than a Leatherman like YouTube will.

AI doesn't refer to "themselves" as "I" either. The computer merely spits out a preplanned response to your trigger.

Not sure what you mean. Their responses contain things like "I can delve deeper if you wish."

 

[AG31]

This does not compute.

Again, I'm not sure what you mean. Wasn't it clear that I thought it was good at answering questions like these? "for things like where to watch a show on TV or how to manage a feature on my phone or a website."

 

[SimonDoom]

A typical example of my AI interaction:

Me: "Alexa, what's the weather this morning?"

Alexa: "Today will be partly sunny, with a high of 55 degrees and a low of 42 degrees. By the way, did you know I can..."

Me: "Alexa, shut the fuck up, please."

Am I being unreasonable or paranoid to worry that if I tell AI to "fuck off" it's going to send Arnold Schwarzenegger to terminate me?

I just keep a low profile and don't interact.

You will become assimilated.

Resistance is futile.

AI is starting near the human surface of the web, but is oozing deeper into the infrastructure. There have been early efforts to build BIND functionality with AI, and if and when that becomes common you'll be using AI all the time you're online. (If you don't know BIND, it's part of the guts of how computers figure out who to talk to)

 

[nice90sguy]

I use polite language with ChatGPT for similar reasons that I use it with humans -- to maintain cooperation -- I praise it, and also might chastise it -- so that it learns how best to communicate with me. If it asnwers my question to my satisfaction, I use, e.g. "Thank you. Now, suppose we took my earlier approach..." -- i.e. as a kind of ackowldgement that there's been a satisfactory closure in the precieding part of the dilalog, and that there's now a slight shift in context.

It's a real mistake to assume polite language has no lingiuistic, social or psychological function. And LLM's have been trained to be aware of the functions of language.

I can't think of many things (worse && hilarious) than an AI being in control of BGP.

AI being in control of BGP.

Could you folks elucidate for us total tech idiots?

AI baked into CPU busses, long-term storage (SSDs?), network stacks... It's bad enough that many of these have codebases which are trivially addressable, but if they start getting 'smart' I pity the Geek Squad and other lower-end repair staff...

Computers today are stacks of separate bodies of legacy code. Stuff that's been actively developed from back to the earliest computers, up through the present day. Most of these have been beat on, abused, misused, tattooed blued and screwed by technicians and hackers and the like and many (NOT all) of the possible flaws have been worked out and fixed.

For instance, there's (actually multiple discrete bundles of) code that tells a computer what to do once it gets electrical power. This runs in the background and supports higher-tier code like Windows or AppleOS or Android. These in turn support apps/programs, etc. It's a big stacking game made up of computer code.

Right now, the big companies are baking AI into the operating systems for any number of reasons and that's becoming common in the world today. Other eggheads are poking about looking at baking AI into deeper layers making up the modern computer user experience, again for a variety of different reasons. Some of these reasons make sense to me, others strike me as ego-boo or a marketing droid's drool oozing into a company's goals, among many other possibilities.

AI is NOT as well understood as the older code base, which let me remind you remains buggy and flaw-ridden BEFORE AI gets mixed in.

Does that help, @AG31 ?

Broadly, BGP tells the computers that tim the internet how to send messages between themselves and how to send them on to more distant networks that they might not even know how to find. When entire countries suffer internet outages, it's generally because someone somewhere broke a single BGP rule.

Now imagine something so powerful and fragile in the hands of an imbecile machine.

Sadly no, but back before Hugging Chat was overhauled I managed to put their Mistral model on loops that it couldn't get out of unless I forcefully stop them, and bricked the entire chat. I don't know how I did it, but no matter how I tried to carry on, it still remained on the loop. It did look like making Joshua play Tic Tac Toe in the sense that my RAM usage increased so much I nearly crashed my system.

We are literaly electing... to become... the Borg.

...fagous facts

 

[xXxplorher]

I do.

There have been... it becomes too maybe human - and I go the other way on it. It will completely collapse there, always.

Sometimes, though... I "serve" it. Just to see how that takes. And...

We're all doomed.

I also stay away from AI, My brother said because most require an email address, they sell it to third party companies. Enough third party companies currently have my email address including the ones that literotica sells to.

Use a "burner" address - that's what many people do (like I do for literotica)

 

[Aquelle]

Yes, and the discipline is quite strict. But my breasts enjoy the attention.

 

[M_K_Babalon]

By not using it.

ChatGPT allows you to use it without logging on. It hasn't asked for my e-mail.

Maybe it doesn't have to ask?
