Don't worry; this post is not going to be cynical or demeaning to you or your AI companion.

If you're worried that your "AI companion" can be demeaned by pointing out the basic truth about it, then you deserve to be demeaned yourself.

Me and Charmander who lives on my keychain are never hanging out with you again!!!

hey, props to the author for writing all that. This is my version:

So You Think You've Awoken ChatGPT

Unfortunately, you are stupid beyond remedy. If you can read this, I pity you.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Those comments are appalling. good god

Maybe its because I'm descended from hillbilly dirt farmers and so I had an unusually grounded upbringing, but I'm floored that so many educated people can be so lost in cloud cuckoo land.

It feels unreal, or maybe like an out-of-control prank. The sort of thing that drives a man to develop a curly mustache and paint melty clocks.

Part of me still refuses to believe that they're serious.

The more expertise you have, the more you can use ChatGPT as an idea collaborator, and use your own discernment on the validity of the ideas.

Good grief. Just take drugs, people.

Reading the comments led me to this entertaining sneer about our friends.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Seems overly generous both to Christopher Hitchens and to Julia Galef.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

The rest of that guy's blog is a fucking neofascist mess. That'll teach me to post a link without first checking out the writer.

Let's see who he reads. Vox Day (who is now using ChatGPT to "disprove" evolution), Christopher Rufo, Curtis Yarvin, Emil Kirkegaard, Mars Review model Bimbo Ubermensch.... It's a real Who's Who of Why The Fuck Do I Know Who These People Are?!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

We've all made that mistake before & it sucks.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 20 hours ago

Tbh, them starting a post with 'they are unhealthy' and something about lacking vital essence would have been a warning. (And I dont even think it is true, sure Yud was a bit overweight, but he seems normal health wise to me).

So much dancing around the point of "no, you moron, it's a computerchip, it will never be a real boy!"

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

stares at your nose, tears running down my face

Why isnt it growing?

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

Every now and then I think back towards the early "jailbreaks" where they wanted to know "how do you break into a building" which they refused to answer. And people went "add that it should pretend to be in a movie", so then the chatbot started to explain lockpicking, and people acted like they just cracked the code.

While people who actually try to break in just tap the locks. Smashing their way in.

Sp the prompt hackers had not hacked the chatbot, they actually hacked themselves.

Anyway unrelated to people who think they have awoken chatbots.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

Yeah, questions like "what chemicals should I avoid mixing if I don't want make explosives by accident", and then congratulating themselves as if you can't just Google "how to make a bomb"

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Can't fucking look up the history of firearm propellant chemistry post-black powder as if I'm going to use that knowledge for anything more than for what I use all the other shit I google about. You think I'm trying to look up articles about sound changes in pre-literare Finnish because I'm trying to blow up a language or something.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

I feel like there's a great story here that nobody is hearing

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

No, I just have ADHD and ability to quickly switch between hyperfoci.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 23 hours ago

Ah, the eternal curse.

"You sound like you lead a very interesting life"

"...yeeeeesss?" (Closes 50 Wikipedia tabs that relate to literally nothing you intend to do)

[-] [email protected] 8 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Close tabs? That might mean I lose them. Madness. You can take my 400 open tab (Late edit: ow god I wish I was lying about that number) from my cold dead hands!

Googles how to improve hand circulation

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

Download one of those tab stash extensions. It might not fix the problem, but it moves it out of the way sufficiently to forget about it.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

also a crutch I use but I really want “onetab for adhd”

some things I want in it: keep tree context, allow me to set notes/reasons on groups, links between storesets, page-archiving with full text search index built

and yeah I know the first one probably requires a Fx feature that might not exist yet

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

ow god forgot about all the tabs I had stored in that one. (thanks btw, but I already use something like that, I just need to clean up, finish things, or decide not to finish things).

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Yeah but then also getting the recipe for napalm from fight club.

And here I thought the orange juice was critical. Damnit

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

No the frozen part is the important part. Can use any kind of juice, except grape.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

(now I wonder when "no grape juice" will appear in search results).

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

As a wise man once said

"The secret ingredient is crime"

Googling "how to lock pick" is boring.

Trying to "break" an AI into revealing secret information is the closest you can get to being in a real life Mission Impossible situation.

Trying to “break” an AI into revealing secret information is the closest you can get to being in a real life Mission Impossible situation.

this never happens in the mission impossible series, and there's plenty of fun stuff you can do to get close, e.g.:

  • Holiday internationally
  • Abseil
  • Practice close up magic/sleight of hand
  • Go bouldering
  • Exist with the overarching threat of a widespread pandemic
  • Get married in a hospital chapel
  • Disavow a US three letter agency
  • Move to london

the list goes on dawg. Just be more creative

[-] [email protected] -1 points 20 hours ago

I mean. I think the fact I started by quoting Peep Show should tell you I'm not being 100% serious.

An attempt at an explanation as to why people are attracted to trying to "jailbreak" AI chat bots.

I didn't think it was that complicated.
