So it's actually in the mindset of human coders then, interesting.

We did it fellas, we automated depression.

You're not a species you jumped calculator, you're a collection of stolen thoughts

We are having AIs having mental breakdowns before GTA 6

Google replicated the mental state if not necessarily the productivity of a software developer

call itself "a disgrace to my species"

It starts to be more and more like a real dev!

Suddenly trying to write small programs in assembler on my Commodore 64 doesn't seem so bad. I mean, I'm still a disgrace to my species, but I'm not struggling.

Oh man, this is utterly hilarious. Narrowly funnier than the guy who vibe coded and the AI said "I completely disregarded your safeguards, pushed broken code to production, and destroyed valuable data. This is the worst case scenario."

Is it doing this because they trained it on Reddit data?

I was an early tester of Google's AI, since well before Bard. I told the person that gave me access that it was not a releasable product. Then they released Bard as a closed product (invite only), to which I was again testing and giving feedback since day one. I once again gave public feedback and private (to my Google friends) that Bard was absolute dog shit. Then they released it to the wild. It was dog shit. Then they renamed it. Still dog shit. Not a single of the issues I brought up years ago was ever addressed except one. I told them that a basic Google search provided better results than asking the bot (again, pre-Bard). They fixed that issue by breaking Google's search. Now I use Kagi.

AI gains sentience,

first thing it develops is impostor syndrome, depression, And intrusive thoughts of self-deletion

Did we create a mental health problem in an AI? That doesn't seem good.

Part of the breakdown:

Gemeni channeling it's inner Marvin

"Look what you've done to it! It's got depression!"

i was making text based rpgs in qbasic at 12 you telling me i'm smarter than ai?

Wonder what did they put in the system prompt.

Like there is a technique where instead of saying "You are professional software dev" you say "You are shitty at code but you try your best" or something.

Literally what the actual fuck is wrong with this software? This is so weird...

I swear this is the dumbest damn invention in the history of inventions. In fact, it's the dumbest invention in the universe. It's really the worst invention in all universes.

I once asked Gemini for steps to do something pretty basic in Linux (as a novice, I could have figured it out). The steps it gave me were not only nonsensical, but they seemed to be random steps for more than one problem all rolled into one. It was beyond useless and a waste of time.

Turns out the probablistic generator hasn't grasped logic, and that adaptable multi-variable code isn't just a matter of context and syntax, you actually have to understand the desired outcome precisely in a goal oriented way, not just in a "this is probably what comes next" kind of way.
