Me to AI: alright, I'm about to send you a two part message. Do not respond to the first message.

AI: Gotcha! I won't respond

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago

That could reasonably be interpreted as you haven't sent the first part yet.

But I assume it still responds like that when you do.

Who in their right mind would want to talk to AI begin with? I don’t think I’ll ever understand why someone would want to do this outside of a single instance of curiosity.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago

Perhaps someone with multiple instances of curiosity?

A forest just disappeared because of you

I wanted to stay on top of the food chain but not like this.

My goal was to eat one of everything nontoxic.

A species just went extinct.

Please let it be my species.

Wait I'm still here.

Shit.

Yeah doing this is just a self own

As someone who grew up using telephones... the last part is the most human chat bot interaction I've ever seen.

"You hang up first!"

"No, you hang up first!"

I would think that, since it's been recognised that these messages are costing a lot of energy (== money) to process, companies would at some point add a simple <if input == "thanks"> type filter to catch a solid portion of them. Why haven't they?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

It won't be as simple as that and the engineers who work on these systems can only think in terms of LLM and text classification, so they'd run your message through a classifier and end the conversation if it returns a "goodbye or thanks" score above 0.8, saving exactly 0 compute power.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I mean, even if we resort to using a neural network for checking "is the conversation finished?" That hyper-specialised NN would likely be orders of magnitude cheaper to run than your standard LLM, so you could likely save quite a bit of power/money by using it to filter for the actual LLM, no?

Because the only progress we know how to make on computers is backwards it seems.

Generative AI is supposed to be destructive. It's a feature.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

I dont understand. People argued a book with me here for using AI quoting usage of large amounts of water and noise around the data server areas. But upvoted this? And how is this a meme? Its a long screenshot.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago

Mmm... I can smell the smog from here

"If you say goodbye again, I'm going to say it back! No, you hang up!"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

People on lemmy bitching about how bad AI is for the environment, yet this gets upvotes.

Doublethink 10/10

Hey it’s Mister Gotcha here to derail debate with the weight of his own ego.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Wouldn't that be the gpt user that posted this screenshot? Someone making some kind of "I'm getting back at those pesky AI companies by costing them money" ... by pressing the "push to run a machine that burns the planet' button?

Or worse yet, it's an accelerationist willingly pushing the button.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

Oh, lighten up.
