I hate how people are using AI for this now. It used to be that you had to actually do that work of kidnapping your therapist and getting them to roleplay as your ex-wife at knifepoint.

    Uploading entire conversation to a data harvesting company is so wise...

    I've seen many screenshots of people genuinely doing that. It's disturbing.

    "My BF and I are arguing, help me win."

    "Tell me how to respond to this girl I'm interested in."

    "Tell me how to respond to this girl I'm interested in."

    This might actually be a win. It will accidentally train them to be polite and courteous.

    I'm guessing this is mainly a joke, but it's really not training them to do anything except offload the "labor" of relationships to a third party and that women are video games where selecting the right dialogue options will get you your preferred ending.

    Not everyone has good role models. Would you rather people get advice from Andrew Tates or Grok? Because you might want it to be someone other than those options but right now that is what a lot of people are picking between and we have no way of reaching and stopping them from picking poorly. As awful as Grok is, it manages to be somehow better than the other options.

    It depends on the usage.

    If the user is reading the response and then thinking about it and adapting the suggestions to their own style of speaking, maybe they'll learn something over time. Studies have shown that students who use LLMs as a tutor do improve their understanding of material.

    If they're copy/pasting like most of the world, then there's evidence to suggest that they'll actually get worse at the thing they're offloading to the LLM.

    This is still better than what my mother would do when her and her second husband were arguing. She would call me or one of my brothers to try to get us to take her side in the argument.

    We would have much preferred her taking it to AI than trying to drag us into her disagreements.

    Lmao, try accounting software with automatic uploads for the entire staff.

    Supposed to do accountants math, cause that's something computers struggled with so much before /s

    Our bosses sold this "AI analysis system" thing to another company, and for the most part it was a horribly vibecoded but otherwise unremarkable dashboard. But the AI analysis part? It's a fucking chatbot that all it does is ask you which graph and which data you want and it picks from list of preset graphs in the frontend code, and then makes a call to preset endpoints in the backend to get the data to fill it... All things that could be done without the chatbot in the middle.

    Most "AI products" are the same griftware.

    Me in the 90s: computers are great, I wish everyone has access to them and know how to use them.

    Me today: hey genie, can I get one more wish to undo my last one.

    That's the thing you decided was the topic of importance to comment about...? Trying to not read too much into this but I can't deny that your comment is very weird, there's so much worse going on.
