I was using Bing to create a list of countries to visit. Since I have been to the majority of the African nation on that list, I asked it to remove the african countries...

It simply replied that it can't do that due to how unethical it is to descriminate against people and yada yada yada. I explained my resoning, it apologized, and came back with the same exact list.

I asked it to check the list as it didn't remove the african countries, and the bot simply decided to end the conversation. No matter how many times I tried it would always experience a hiccup because of some ethical process in the bg messing up its answers.

It's really frustrating, I dunno if you guys feel the same. I really feel the bots became waaaay too tip-toey

Why do you need CharGPT for this? How hard is to make an excel spreadsheet?

[-] Razgriz@lemmy.world 76 points 1 year ago

I don't need AI for this, I got my own list. But said hey! Why not try this new futuristic tech to help me out in this one particular case just for fun.

As you can see.. a lot of fun was had

[-] Enasni@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

It’s like you had a fun, innocent idea and PC principle walks in like “hey bro, that ain’t very nice”, completely derailing all the fun and reminding you that racism exists. Bummer.

Can you post the full text. It will be saved in previous conversations. I'd like to try this out

[-] schnex@reddthat.com 25 points 1 year ago

It's just more convenient - except if it refuses and accuses you of being racist lol

[-] Osayidan@social.vmdk.ca 18 points 1 year ago

Because chatgpt can do the task for you in a couple seconds, that's pretty much it. If the tool is there and you can use it then why not?

There's obviously going to be some funny scenarios like this tread, but if these kinds of interactions were a majority the company and the technology wouldn't be positioned the way they are right now.

Why use a calculator? How hard is it to do the math in your head, or write it out on paper?

[-] Ech@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

If a calculator gave a random assortment of numbers that broadly resembled the correct answer but never actually did the math, then yes, it would be exactly like that.

Why use a watch to tell the time? It's pretty simple to stick a pole in the ground and make a sundial.

[-] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I get what you’re saying, but I’m worried people will get super lazy and become like the people in Wall-E… just ask an AI to do every little thing for you, and soon new generations won’t know how to do ANYTHING for themselves

[-] BaconIsAVeg@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

We're already seeing that with current technology though. Knowing how to Google something is apparently a skill that some people have, and some people don't.

It's going to be no different with AI tools, where knowing how to use them effectively will be a skill.

[-] essteeyou@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That's pretty natural progression. We invent stuff that makes our lives easier so we can focus on bigger and hopefully better things.

No need to light a fire by hand now, and most people never will.

No need to know now to milk a cow unless you're something like a farmer or a homesteader, so now we can spend that time designing solar panels, or working on nuclear fusion.

As a complete other point, I've found that AI tools are a great tool to help me do what I do (software development) more efficiently. Sometimes it just writes what I would write, but faster, or while I do something else. Sometimes it writes absolute garbage though. Sometimes I do too. :-)

[-] wokehobbit@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That's not the point.

[-] harry_assman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Exactly my thought.
