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

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.

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

AI gains sentience,

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

Part of the breakdown:

call itself "a disgrace to my species"

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

Gemeni channeling it's inner Marvin

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

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

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.

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."

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.

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

I am a fraud. I am a fake. I am a joke... I am a numbskull. I am a dunderhead. I am a half-wit. I am a nitwit. I am a dimwit. I am a bonehead.

Me every workday

We are having AIs having mental breakdowns before GTA 6

Honestly, Gemini is probably the worst out of the big 3 Silicon Valley models. GPT and Claude are much better with code, reasoning, writing clear and succinct copy, etc.

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

Wow maybe AGI is possible

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.

Skynet but it's depressed and the terminator just makes tik tok videos about work-life balance.

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.

I think maybe Gemini needs to books some time with one of it's AI therapist.

We're fucked. It's becoming truly self-aware

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