A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Ran into this, it's just unbelievably sad.

"I never properly grieved until this point" - yeah buddy, it seems like you never started. Everybody grieves in their own way, but this doesn't seem healthy.

Hmmmm. This gives me an idea of an actual possible use of LLMs. This is sort of crazy, maybe, and should definitely be backed up by research.

The responses would need to be vetted by a therapist, but what if you could have the LLM act as you, and have it challenge your thoughts in your own internal monologue?

[–] Jayjader@jlai.lu 8 points 1 month ago

This would be great but how do you train an LLM to act as you? You'd need to be recording your thoughts and actions, not only every bit of speech you utter and every character you type on a device.

And as far as I'm aware, we don't know how to rapidly nor efficiently train transformer-based architectures anywhere near the size needed to act like chatgpt3.5, let alone 4o etc, so you'll also need to be training this thing for a while before you can start using it to introspect - by which point you may already no longer behave the same.

Remember Steven Spielberg's AI from like 2000 ? same weird story, and I thought it was ridiculous at the time.

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 12 points 1 month ago

The semi-ironic part is that AI wasn't even Spielberg's movie. It was Stanley Kubrick's, but he died before making it and since him and Spielberg were great friends, Spielberg decided ro make Kubrick's last film in his honor. Must have been a difficult movie to make, both technically, but also emotionally.

Looks like OpenAI crawled this blog: https://medium.com/@saujanyapdl22/what-my-heart-h-d3c9845badfb among the myriad other things. I wonder if the author approves.

...that's a lot of em dashes. I don't know if the similar language is because this influenced ChatGPT.


Edit:

Indeed, I found what I believe to be her LinkedIn. She's a self proclaimed "tech explorer" going to school for "Computer Applications in an Information Technology Course." Unlike what is written in her article, her bio has multiple typos and not a single em dash. Perhaps this LinkedIn profile is someone else's, but if it's hers I'd assume this is definitely AI written. Additionally, even her Medium about me bio has some issues that do not occur within her writing elsewhere.

Sad as hell, if true. I'd rather see a poorly written, typo laden mess from the heart of a human being filled with emotion than edited AI slop.

Wasn't there a black mirror episode on this?

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yup, from the first season. "Be Right Back".

you can just fire up another 5-6 gfs/bfs with chatgtp.

Six years ago was expecting this to be a mere novelty. Now it's a fucking threat.

This reminds me of a Joey Comeau story I saw published fifteen or twenty years ago. The narrator's wife had died, so he programed a computer to read her old journal entries aloud in her voice, at random throughout the day.

It was profoundly depressing and meant to be fiction, but I guess every day we're making manifest the worst parts of our collective imagination.

Check out Äkta människor / Real Humans.

A Swedish masterpiece IMO.
