Incredibly nice compliment from AI detection software

[Bazzle]

There is a brilliant documentary with Hannah Fry on BBC about this.
In 2021 a guy tried to kill the queen in Windsor because his chatbot tried to please him. "Yes, killing best queen is a good thing for you to do."
"You are an amazing assassin."
He was 19 lonely and wanting to do something to make his mark. The chatbot spiralled him with praise.
Be careful out there!!

Yes, I have and loved it. It was camping with my dad. Not only did we do all that, but we also shot or caught the animals ourselves, cleaned them, and cooked them. It actually tasted better because of our efforts.

Do you enjoy cooking? Do you use modern appliances, or do you gather wood and water from the creek and then boil it before you start? Why not? Don't you love cooking?

Come on.

Does anyone else remember the Juicero?

Juicero Inc. was an American company that designed, manufactured and sold the Juicero Press, a fruit and vegetable juicer. The Juicero Press featured Wi-Fi connectivity and used proprietary, single-serving packets of pre-chopped fruits and vegetables that were sold exclusively by the company on a subscription basis. From 2014 to 2017, the San Francisco-based firm received $120 million in startup venture capital from investors.

The company attracted significant negative media attention when consumers and journalists discovered that its juice packets could be squeezed just as easily by hand as by the company's expensive juicer.

I feel like I've seen this exact thread before.

Don't get me started with the madness of PE and VC guys valuating smoke, mirrors and hype and selling it to suckers out there .....

AI (LLM) is a tool. It can do some things decently e.g. list me the most expensive underwear brands around the world and you can verify the answers. It does a lot of things shitty. It is not a friend. It does not give advice. It is not your therapist, doctor, lawyer or investment advisor.
Again it is a tool. It I try to screw something with a hammer or a saw, the result will be disastrous. If I use the proper screwdriver, the result will be fine.
The way people are using LLM is what is scary.

Come on.

Weren't you the fellow who was criticizing someone earlier for logical fallacies? Then you must be familiar with reductio ad absurdam, too. Also with strawmen.

So. Come on.

Editing, assessing your word choice, and judging your story's pacing and flow are all things you should be doing yourself. Because they are a part of the writing process, and because your brain is fully and wonderfully capable of doing it on its own. We just need to let it.

Again, as I pointed out as succinctly as I could, you are posting on a site that fundamentally disagrees with you about AI. That's not a me problem, that's a you problem.

finally. well done.

also, true of every tool we've come up with since we tamed fire.

I would never use AI for those purposes. assessing pacing? that would be insane. whatever advice it gives would be ignored.

not a me problem at all. I have zero problem being the only person in the room who holds the correct opinion. I'm just keeping this chat going on the side while I finish my chapter. I find the sporadic conversation relaxing and it helps me write.
