God, these fucking idiots in the comment section of that post.
"How does it feel to collapse society?"
"I wonder if programmers were asked that in the early days of the computer."
or
"How does it feel to work on AI-powered machine gun drones?"
"I wonder if gunsmiths were asked similar things in the early days of the lever-rifle."
Yeah, because a computer certainly is the same thing as a water-guzzling LLM that rips other peoples work and art while regurgitating it with massive hallucinations. A lot of these people don't and likely never will understand that a lot of technology is created to serve the will of capital's effect on structuring society and if not in the will of that but rather directly affected by the mode of production we exist in. Completely misses the point and wonders why each development is consistent with more lay-offs, more extraction, more profit.
"The current generation of students are crippling their futures by using the ChatGPT Gemini Slopbots to do their work" (Paraphrasing that one)
At least this one has a mostly reasonable reply. Educational systems obviously exist outside of technological impacts on society. It's the kids. /s
This is absolutely how LLMs work they "rationalise" what other users tell it in other chats, no notes this guy definitely understands how AI works.
Oh I was making fun of the original comment. It wasn't very clear indeed. They run the models through a few (lengthy) steps to train them, it doesn't "learn" on the spot like some techbros assume. It's also not magic but simply math (if very complex math contained in a black box), it's a token generator that basically decides what the next characters in a string of text should be based on what came before it.
It was my fault. I edited the comment.
This is just something I heard, but supposingly some AI models that are meant to be used in education, are designed to throw in special colourless/transparent characters here and there to prevent plagiarism or cheating, which can then be used as markers by checking apps to figure out if the student has plagiarized their answer using AI. I have no idea how true it is.
I caught wind of this on hacker news and the comments there were a tier above this. Saying that the bot is correct and humans are indeed scum etc. etc.
