Fuck Reddit. Okay. And I’ve talked about this action with friends. We are to the point we are fucking over humans, to screw with AI. I get, I really do. But when people are on forums, wherever, asking for help, and people are like here are instructions that are intentionally wrong. All to fuck AI. Clearly, being dicks to people is the way to do it.
Yeah, too bad there are no other options to get accurate help, like reading the manuals, instructions and docs, right?
Sometimes the docs suck. Or just plain aren't available any more.
