Yes, I'll just trust the AI to help me fuck around with grid voltage levels.

With google search results becoming so poor, I guess I need to look into kagi or duck-duck. Pain in my dick, motherless goatfucking, horsehit-happy asshole, corporate varmints gotta fuck it all up for more profit. I'm tired, yo.

no.

these things are sold to us as magical black boxes of universal knowledge. most people don’t know how they work.

blame the ai companies, not the people who fall prey to their lies. why does this have to be said. come on.

    Dawg EVERYTHING is sold to us that way... Well not everything, but you get it.

    Learning to spot "marketing" BS is a survival skill at this point. People have to learn.

    What I'm saying is, the way AI is done is immoral and wrong, but we need to be able to spot "immoral and wrong" from a very young age if we're to make it to old age. AI is just one such instance that can get you messed up or even killed.

    survival skills are inconvenient, like being responsible for your kids and your own choices, so you can forget the average person to bear that.

    Can we stop treating people as mentally challenged toddlers? When AI started, I would have agreed with you about this. But if today you still use any AI and trust what it says, after all we have seen it does, it's on you.

    Am I saying that AI companies are not to blame? No. I think AI companies are to blame for the shitty product they are delivering. But let's not take any personal responsibility of people. If you plug a fork in an outlet and shock yourself to death, there's nobody to blame but yourself for being dumb. And this is the same.

    And yet, we still design outlets in ways that make that exact kind of thing as hard as possible. Because there will always be kids who have no idea what they're doing. Because there will always be old people unfamiliar with the technology that "everyone" should know how to use by now. Because accidents happen.

    This kind of attitude completely ignores the fact that there are vulnerable people who are very susceptible to the sycophantic nature of GenAI. There are multiple reported instances of people being convinced to kill themselves or others by GenAI. AI companies won't do anything about this kind of thing unless they are forced to.

    No. This is absolutely the wrong attitude. AI companies must be held accountable for all the horrible shit AI is doing.

    Yes, but let's wait until the lead-poisoned generation have been cared for first. And also until those harmed by whatever the brainworm-in-chief FDA is up to have been cared for. After that, let's expect everyone to be able to think things through.
