How does it make you feel when people use LLMs like search engines and then hand you extruded text as though it is factual? Have you seen IRL or just on boards? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Personally seen this behavior a few times in real life, often with worrying implications. Generously I'd like to believe these people use extruded text as a place to start thinking from, but in practice is seems to me that they tend to use extruded text as a thought-terminating behavior.

IRL, I find it kind of insulting, especially if I'm talking to people who should know better or if they hand me extruded stuff instead of work they were supposed to do.

Online it's just sort of harmless reply-guy stuff usually.

Many people simply straight-up believe LLMs to be genie like figures as they are advertised and written about in the "tech" rags. That bums me out sort of in the same way really uncritical religiosity bums me out.

HBU?

It's absolutely insulting and infuriating and i want to grab them and slap them more than a couple tomes.

I'm first year into university, studying software engineering, and sometimes i like doing homework with friends, because calculus and linear algebra are hard on my brain and i specifically went to uni to understand the hard parts.

Not once, not twice, have i asked for help with something from a friend, only for them to just open the dumbass chatbot, asking it how to solve the question, and just believing in the answer like it's the moses coming down with the commandments, and then giving me the same explanation, full of orgasmic enthusiasm until i go "applying that theorem in the second step is invalid" or "this contradicts an earlier conclusion", and then they shut their fucking brains off, tell monsieur shitbot his mistake, and again, explain to me like I'm a child (I'd say mansplaining because honest to god it looked and sounded the same but I'm also a man, so.. ) word for word the bot output.

This doesn't stop at 3 or 4 times, i could only wish, sometime i got curious and burnt an hour like that with the same guy, on the same question, on the same prompt streak.

Like after the 7th time they don't understand that they are in more trouble than me and still talk like they have a phd.

So I'll sum up:

  • they turn off their brain
  • they make bot think for them
  • they believe bot like gospel
  • they swear bot knows best
  • they're shown it does not know shit
  • "just one more prompt bro i swear bro please one more time bro i swear bro Claude knows how to solve calculus bro it has LaTeX bro so it probably knows bro please bro one more prompt bro-"
