    I recognize this is a sub for hating on AI, but this is some low hanging fruit. This is just not a person familiar with organizing their thoughts and seeing the benefit of it and doesnt say shit about AI.

    I just watched a video by a prompt a guy wrote that writes good prompts. He adds his subject to the prompt-generating prompt, then uses its output as the actual prompt.

    This and the “I asked AI …” posts are so annoying to me

    Are you really that mindless that you can’t conjure thoughts or opinions that are purely your own ?

      Which is precisely what I use AI for.

      It doesn’t know how to do anything, but it can help me find flaws.

        If your use for AI is just rubber duck debugging, an actual rubber duck is significantly less environmentally destructive, and will still be around after OpenAI burn through all their seed capital and can no longer convince investors to keep throwing money into their trash fire.

          A lot of assumptions in that post, but I agree in general. I’ve been working software for too long, and I know co-pilot or whatever it’s called that Microsoft has won’t be around in the long run.

          It’s a neat tool for now. It also isn’t complaining all the time which I like

      Exactly. Not an AI phenomenon

        One critical benefit of the rubber duck is that it doesn’t make things up.

        This is mechanically similar, I agree, but I think the rubber duck is still superior.

        And, I think this should be a “lightbulb” moment for people.

          You obviously haven’t seen me rubber duck debug.

          I disagree. The rubber duck does not propose alternatives, nor does it point out flaws.

          The flaws may be wrong, but then I have to justify it, which forces me to reconsider what I’ve written.

          It’s like having a script monkey that never took a CS class to bounce ideas off of.

      I didn’t know there was a term for that. Forget debugging, in my algorithms class this is how I figured a lot of stuff out the first time too. I actually don’t know how else you’re supposed to do it. You imagine running through a loop, what specific tasks must be accomplished, and then code those tasks.

        Imagine then doing this in a chatGPT prompt! Everything will go so much faster, even if you don’t press “send”!

    If your prompts aren’t good enough, consider getting an AI to write them for you.

    If this reaction were physically possible, I would have made it after reading that:

    That is a level of lack of self-awareness I haven’t seen in ages. No wonder these idiots believe AGI is right around the corner. They’re modelling it after themselves.

      Well. He’s on Bluesky. Presumably doing the same thing he did on Twitter.
