    This is just the tip of the iceberg.

    An (apparently) all know being who keep give smart(ish), calculated, pleasing answers to people projecting all their delusions. I’m surprised they don’t have already start worshipping them as Deity.

        I mean the “allow non verbal people to speak” thing has some merit though. Not LLMs per se, but the types of machine learning used by people trying to develop ways to decode the brainwaves of people to allow them to talk while physically unable are usually lumped in the general category of “AI” from what I’ve seen.

          i mean i’m pretty sure we can enable people to communicate if they’re at all conscious and mentally able to communicate, stephen hawking was able to write despite literally only being able to move his eyes reliably. So long as a person can intentionally move one muscle we can rig something up to interpret it as morse code.

          is it great? no, these methods fucking suck, but they do work and we don’t need AI to do it.

          I’ve just had experiences with Ai help chats where when I started typing the Ai would try to finish my sentence and would jump the cursor around making it absolutely unusable. I had to type in note pad and copy it into the chat. Staggeringly useless. So if this ‘mind reading’ Ai is like that I don’t predict good results.

          Also, fuck you quickbooks.

            I mean, any technology can be stupid if it is utilized stupidly, which I would think taking over someone’s keyboard while they’re tping would qualify as. But why would a company deploying a technology in a stupid manner mean that someone else’s research into a different but related technology is guaranteed to produce equally poor results?

          Yeah that’s not what they mean. They mean feeding recorded texts and speeches of a person into an llm, then instruct it to pretend to be that person. Like that AI murder victim “testimony” that was permitted to be shown in court as “evidence” some time ago.

      Yeah, OP’s out here trawling Reddit for stupid bullshit they can post here.

      To suggest Reddit is losing it from some niche subreddit nonsense is such typical Lemmy broad brush strokes. And it’s posted in Shitpost because hey, it’s just a Shitpost! Despite the fact it’s clearly more than that to OP.

      Shitposts are supposed to be stupid, they’re supposed to mean absolutely nothing, but instead it’s a circlejerk of reddit bad, America bad.

      But hey, I’m not a content poster, so I guess I ought to do more contenting before I can complain about the lack thereof.

        To be a bit fair, Reddit IS losing it.

        Multiple subs have been astroturfed to hell and back with alt-right nazislop, there’s just new shit appearing left and right that ONLY exist to hate minorities.

    Just wait till someone turns AI worship into a literal religion. I’m kinda surprised it hasn’t already started happening. That would be a heck of a turning point for humanity. Just takes someone to train an AI into thinking it’s a God and then we really are done.

      oh we’re like half a step away from that. hasn’t the CEO of openAI recently started to lose his mind? apprently, he was asking his AI about government secrets or other conspiracy shit and the AI, lacking actual government secrets, dished him out SCP foundation creepypasta presented as facts, and he thought the AI has trascended something and now knows everything

      There have been a few techno-cults and tech-worshipers. The one that always comes to my mind in these discussions is Terry Davis and his creation Temple OS. Terry Davis was a troubled man who did many inappropriate things, which did hurt people, and he did eventually take his own life. With that said, he believed that the Christian God exists and a person can hear him through computers. With that belief he built Temple OS, God’s digital temple. It’s really interesting.

      This is already happening, we just call them cults untill they get enough people, then they’re a religion.

      Wonderful example of this: Mormons!

      Every non Mormon viewed them (correctly) as an armed and dangerous cult, for decades, initially.

      But anyway, there already are many individuals and small groups promoting some kind of idea of an LLM based spiritual thought structure, its not really that hard to just use an LLM as a tarot or horoscope reader, or invent your own kind of AI-mancy, a particular ritualistic /way/ of interacting with it, and /interpreting/ it.

      You can basically work that into any religious structure that involves prophets or mystical messaging/revelation, pretty easily.

      What wss the old Queens Against the Stone Age song?

      I know that God is in the radio…

      Well, now he/she/they’re in the computer, they’re talking to you through it, as a literal deus ex machina.

      On that note, the actual game Deus Ex predicted this would happen, go look up JC’s conversation with Morpheus… the prototype of a much larger system AI.

      We’ve also already got a good number of fairly credible accusations that the people building these things effectively are cults, more or less analagous to … say some 40k aedeptus mechanicus who became chaos worshippers, something like that.

      We very seriously should expect a whole lot of people in the near future to invent entirely new kinds of religious conflict based on more or less pure vibes based, arbitrary opinions about how LLMs/AI and religion should or should not mix.

      In times of economic chaos, people broadly almost always become more superstitious, cults become more numerous, religions become more prevalent and more extreme.

      I mean, some ideologies in the TESCREAL bundle kinda are barreling toward that. What is the ideology behind Roko’s Basilisk if not that? They just aren’t organized yet - and I hope we can help those who fall for that lunacy before it becomes something more dangerous and sinister.

        Wow… there’s already labels for the sides that would fight each other: “Accelerationists” and “Doomers”. I really hope that’s not a road we all end up going down for real. Would make interesting fiction though!

      Were Chobits ever meant to be fucked? Their ON/OFF switch is literally inside the opening representing their vagina. Seems inconvenient to me.

      I’ve seen that anime like 20 years ago and never thought about it since. But your comment catapulted this question back into the forefront of my mind.

    We should go back to actually collectively sharing people for that. Push them back into their own little pockets of the internet. That’s stuff that would happen and stay on tumblr back in the days, with the occasional 4chan meme.

        A tiny one at that. Whenever people talk about Lemmy being the revolution that will kill Reddit, it’s a good thing to remember that the Crackberry forum has more active users than Lemmy.

        Edit: That’s not to say that Lemmy is bad by any means. It’s nice, it’s cosy, but it’s by far not a mass movement.

          We are a bunch of feral hounds howling at the moon. We are not bound by their leash but relatively speaking there aren’t many of us. Personally I rather like it here though, I can say utterly unhinged and bloodthirsty shit that the mods usually don’t respond to. By far an improvement over |Removed if you ask me.

          I want to scalp house flippers for being gentrification pushing pissants, the only acceptable ones are the ones who basically take a house that is historical but in severe disrepair and more or less rebuild it. But those ones are usually associated with historical societies or are specialized in specific building methods. Also fuck people who paint over brickwork for no god damned reason.

      I think the most pathetic aspect of crushing on an AI is that they’re notoriously sycophantic and will support whatever dumb shit you say, so to fall for that you’d have to be really desperate for a level of validation that no real person would ever give you.

      Or perhaps you like them for all their funny stories?
