ChatGPT is dismissing it, but I’m not so sure.

      So then, if you knew this, why did you bother to ask it first? I’m kinda annoyed and jealous of your AI friend over there. Are you breaking up with me?

        I doubted chatgpts input and I came here looking for help. What are you on about?

          Dude, people here are such fucking cunts, you didn’t do anything wrong, ignore these 2 trogledytes who think they are semi intelligent. I’ve worked in IT nearly my whole life. I’d return it if you can.

          Defensive… If someone asks you for advice, and says they have doubts about the answer they received from a Magic 8-Ball, how would you feel?

        Because it’s like a search box you can explain a problem to and get a bunch of words related to it without having to wade through blogspam, 10 year old Reddit posts, and snippy stackoverflow replies. You don’t have to post on discord and wait a day or two hoping someone will maybe come and help. Sure it is frequently wrong, but it’s often a good first step.

        And no I’m not an AI bro at all, I frequently have coworkers dump AI slop in my inbox and ask me to take it seriously and I fucking hate it.

          But once you have it’s output, unless you already know enough to judge if it’s correct or not you have to fall back to doing all those things you used the AI to avoid in order to verify what it told you.

            Sure, but you at least have something to work with rather than whatever you know off the top of your head

          It is not a search box. It generates words we know are confidently wrong quite often.

          “Asking” gpt is like asking a magic 8 ball; it’s fun, but it has zero meaning.

            Well that’s just blatantly false. They’re extremely useful for the initial stage of research when you’re not really sure where to begin or what to even look for. When you don’t know what you should read or even what the correct terminology is surrounding your problem. They’re “Language models”, which mean they’re halfway decent at working with language.

            They’re noisy, lying plaigarism machines that have created a whole pandora’s box full of problems and are being shoved in many places where they don’t belong. That doesn’t make them useless in all circumstances.
