Somehow more relevant than ever

as long as we throw the guy asking questions into the machine for realism

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

Perhaps my favourite robot in existence

Tech CEOs: "It's just like me. It babbles and we have to praise it!"

I seriously think part of why AI is promoted is that it's stupid just like many people in power are stupid

"It's just what I would say!" ...yeah. True.

More than that -- it's stupid and delivers wrong answers with complete confidence.

Stupidest timeline evidence #⁴³⁷a: the day when computers got smarter than ceos

This explains so much.

You see, "virtual dumbass who is constantly wrong" describes most tech CEOs, and they love nothing more than themselves.

They see being consistant as a virtue, with out examining consistantly what.

What you're doing there is jumping... say "apple." "Apple!" Y'know what, close enough.

Hahahaha, this is so perfect! It’s 100% Wheatley getting control of the test centre and we’re like…oh fucckkk, not this.

I Make Things Up! strangely omitted from the list.

having no relation to or concept of objective reality limits the usefulness of current "AI"offerings

And yet, when I ask a question with what appears to be good context (a properly engineered prompt, if you will,) I get apparently useful results. For example: This question was about what damp leasing means in the context of airline operations. I had no idea. Now I do.

I've subscribed to Aviation Week for over two decades. My experience is that one of the biggest barriers to understanding the nuances of a specialty is not knowing what the various technical terms means, i.e. the jargon.

I had never heard the terms damp leasing or wet leasing before. ChatGPT explained them well, given a sufficient prompt. I argue that makes ChatGPT useful.

What's ironic the virtual dumbass can easily replace the CEOs.

Dear Browser Developers: Please develop an on/off function so we can decide for ourselves whether we want to view AI images. I don't want to spend half of my browsing time figuring out what's real and what isn't. Congress: Required labeling would be nice as well.

Speaking about AI: It's wrong now but it'll improve with training. Speaking about humans: Don't hire this one, it has the wrong training.

It's helpful like Clippy was, only worse

Don't be bringing Clippy into this, he rules.

When you brag that your answers are "90% accurate," you must know you're in a certain amount of trouble.

My job has done this, claiming it will save us time. I point out it takes longer now to find and undo all the errors. I am ignored.

Trying to stream Dune and Hulu has decided I need AI for some reason. Three different ads and I’m not even 30 minutes in

Now you know what triggered the Butlerian Jihad...

Artificial Dumbs already drive our cars! That's why you have to be ready to take over from them at any instant. A type of job that we know for sure that humans suck at.

I have an old tech car. The only dumbass that drives it is me.

And me - it's the "pentium inside idiot outside" all over again when I'm driving.

I lied. You too get to drive my old tech car sometimes, though you're not a dumbass.

Actual footage of me driving...

My 2014 Jeep requires me to drive it also.

If I let go of the wheel of my Jeep (while driving) the results will be double-plus suboptimal. My insurance carrier will be angry. The police may have questions.

Plus it burns down 100 acres of rainforest every time you use it!
