Slow June, people voting with their feet amid this AI craze, or something else?

    It’s really fucking annoying getting “As an AI language model, I don’t have personal opinions, emotions, or preferences. I can provide you with information and different perspectives on…” at the beginning of every prompt, followed by the driest, most bland answer imaginable.

      Yeah, it’s boring as shit, if want a conversation partner there’s better (if less reliable) options out there, and groups like personal.ai that repackage it for conversation. There’s even scripts to break through the “guardrails”

      I love the boring. Every other day, I think "man, I really don’t want to do this annoying task. I’m not sure if it even saves much time since I have to look over the work, but it’s a hell of a lot less mentally exhausting.

      Plus, it’s fun having it Trumpify speeches. It’s tremendous. I’ve spent hours reading the bigglyest speeches. Historical speeches, speeches about AI, graduation speeches where bears attack midway through… Seriously, it never gets old

      It definitely has its uses but it also has massive annoyances as you pointed out. One thing has really bothered me, I asked it a factual question about Mohammed the founder of Islam. This is how I a human not from a Muslim background would answer

      “Ok wikipedia says this ____”

      It answered in this long winded way that had all these things like “blessed prophet of Allah”. Basically the answer I would expect from an Imam.

      I lost a lot of trust in it when I saw that. It assumed this authority tone. When I heard about that case of a lawyer citing madeup caselaw from it I looked it as confirmation. I don’t know how it happened but for some questions it has this very authoritative tone like it knows this without any doubt.
