I keep having to argue with people that the crap that chat GPT told them doesn't exist.

I asked AI to explain how to set a completely fictional setting in an admin control panel and it told me exactly where to go and what non-existent buttons to press.

I actually had someone send me a screenshot of instructions on how to do exactly what they wanted and I sent back screenshots of me during the directions to a tee, and pointing out that the option didn't exist.

And it keeps happening.

"AI" gets big uppies energy from telling you that something can be done and how to do it. It does not get big uppies energy from telling you that something isn't possible. So it's basically going to lie to you about whatever you want to hear so it gets the good good.

No, seriously, there's a weighting system to responses. When something isn't possible, it tends to be a less favorable response than hallucinating a way for it to work.

I am quickly growing to hate this so-called "AI". I've been on the Internet long enough that I can probably guess what the AI will reply to just about any query.

It's just... Inaccurate, stupid, and not useful. Unless you're repeating something that's already been said a hundred different ways by a hundred different people and you just want to say the same thing..... Then it's great.

Hey, chat GPT, write me a cover letter for this job posting. Cover letters suck and are generally a waste of fucking time, so, who gives a shit?
