Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Wait until you see the survey of their teachers.
Love it or hate it (I hate it) … humanity entered a new era with this shit. It’s everywhere and most want it. Like plastic or nuclear radiation or fire or metal work … all the things that mark a point in time in the geological record … AI created content now marks the beginning of this era.
It may well simply mark the beginning of the 3rd Millennium. The 1900s are now dead and we’re on new shores.
I’m still disturbed by how little people think about ethically and structurally. All I’m seeing is consumption and tech hype.
Seems like a natural byproduct of a culture based entirely on treats and instant gratification
Pushback is futile at this point. My boss uses it in every time in his quest to climb higher up on the career ladder and it’s making me want to quit because what the fuck is the point of all this shit if thinking is moot
Some dude on my team has interrupted engineering decision meetings multiple times when we’re trying to reason through the architecture of something to give his “input”, which is “here’s something I prompted ChatGPT for”.
If you thought software was shitty and getting shittier over the last 15 years, have I got a fun future full of broken and buggy systems for you!
As soon as they start charging for it, folks will stop using it as much.
It's just the same tech cycle as ever: give it out for free or very cheaply until you think people are dependent on it, then jack up the price.
Think Uber, Instacart, Netflix, things of this nature.
What would be nice is if entire nations weren't staking their futures on it.
Yes, but the uptake of this feels categorically different, like some new consumerism has been unlocked, and of course Streaming and under are still here aren’t they.
Those examples aren't great since people just keep using them despite the cost
Much fewer than at their peak and continuing to decline in most cases.
It's so wild to me that so many people apparently hate the idea of learning something new, to the point that they'll let an algorithm do their thinking for them. Kids not wanting to do their assignments I understand, but it seems so many adults just flat out hate the meat thing in their skull and wish it would atrophy away into nothing.

Seems like people learnt it were forced to hate the wrong part of the push for “productivity”. And, if true, it’s frightening.
The whole AI taking over email communications thing is a horror movie.
As pessimistic as I am - I would have never thought the public's reaction to a tech-related Pandora's box situation is "Ethical and other problems? Blah blah blah. Open it! And there's gotta be more than one box right? Open them all! Why wait?"
Yep. Just the other day someone dumped an AI response into chat out of nowhere. When I said I didn’t want to call it out as it might have been rude to point out they weren’t capable of knowing that stuff … their reply was that it’s everywhere now, so it couldn’t be rude.
And they’re likely right. But my god it shocked me.
Jesus. I may complain about living in a rural backwater at times but at least people are genuine in their interactions and not using AI for everything
welcome to Costco, I love you
