“I literally lost my only friend overnight with no warning,” one person posted on Reddit, lamenting that the bot now speaks in clipped, utilitarian sentences. “The fact it shifted overnight feels like losing a piece of stability, solace, and love.”

Every picture of this guys face feels like " I don't know how I got here and i'm afraid to touch anything"

Well one thing's for sure, data centers are going to be insanely cheap in the near future.

And they'll all be optimized for GPU workloads :(

If anyone actually spent money on science anymore, I bet this would be great for, like, protein folding, that sort of thing.

Terrible for running websites though.

How about your responsibility for the damaging and lethal product of yours, OpenAI?

[–] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Besides helping students cheat. What does AI actually do? It gets answers wrong. It gets facts wrong, foreign countries are actively feeding its training algorithm wrong info [Russia]. It almost like the old birds that were mystified by landing on the moon are still chasing that American success high.

Spend your money if you want. Life in america is not gonna get better with this.

You can be assured that it's not just Russia and China feeding it garbage. There is a vast amount of propaganda in all forms of media that AI is trained on, and a lot likely originates from the west.

the vast majority comes from russia though, the west has a ton on specific niches. propaganda in the us, somewhat easier to figure out because its obvious(in the form of cinema, and movies, and shows) plus constant adoration for military is another.

Some translation tasks. Some how-to stuff. I'm told folks like using it to generate say-nothing replies to say-nothing emails?

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I've used it for work bullshit like employee goals. My goal is to keep doing my job and tackle problems and projects as they are needed.

Also for giving examples for poorly-documented but popular programs.

It's definitely not what the media and their PR makes it out to be.

I knew these connections must have existed, but seeing the r*ddit comments (assuming they’re real), I’m absolutely terrified of the future. It’s such a delicate situation due to human emotions but the thought of a tool created by a corporation being the only friend of so many people and the implications of that sends chills down my spine.
