       > boomers show me “incredibly funny” videos on their phones> grok video of trump getting a haircut by xi > then it says “made in china” and Biden laughs I think I’m anti-ai now

       @lain They are making "ai" cat videos, as if we had any deficiency of those...they are not even funny.

       @lain @Willow You love love, liking, fondness... ?"愛 in English translates primarily to love, but its meaning extends beyond romantic love to include liking, fondness, affection, and cherishing."

       @lain Boomers have truly upgraded from thinking ArmA footage is real war footage.

       @lain "I hate AI, actually" uses of AI>I spent 5s on the prompt. Please pay me for these results :)I have AI as well. I too can make complete shit translations of Chinese webnovels that get all the names and pronouns wrong.Anything lazy is slop, and 5 million years of CPU time doesn't change that, but people are so impressed at the ratio of effort to result that they think the result is impressive on its own.It's like shovels were just invented and all the ditch diggers got smug about working for 5 minutes. It summons a Protestant Work Ethic in me that I didn't even know I had.>here's a screenshot of an AI failingok>here's a screenshot of an AI totally getting and validating what I'm saying here.ok>here's a screenshot an an AI telling you that you're wrong (no I didn't carefully read what the text says or understand it)ok>hey here's a bunch of configuration blobs. Can you use these?please give me your human outputs (your prompt to the AI) instead of the AI outputs, because I can probably help you much better with what you told the AI.>I spent 5s on this question. Please answer it in exhaustive detail.I am not an AI. Please improve the ratio of "your effort" to "my effort".Barely not on the list:>I let an AI write a bunch of code that I don't understand for me.this isn't nearly as productive as people make it sound, but it can still be actually productive. It's like a detailed tutorial vs. a reference manual: it gets you quicker to something that works, so you don't have to spend a lot of time just getting to 'hello world'.It's also a solution in the chemical sense to libraries that do nothing but badly abstract over an underlying API, and only implement part of it, but are "easier to use".AI in general in a solution to a lot of pre-AI slop. "oh, it's so hard to write a program to manage parse logs. You should use my proprietary log-parsing DSL. Even your non-programmers can use it!"nah dog, the DSL is still too hard for non-programmers, and the tooling is unacceptable to programmers. AI moots all of this terrible work that you've done here.>I'm letting an AI run commands for me, browse the web for me, make purchases for me, sign legal documents for me, and directly control whether my nervous system is in "fight or flee" vs. "rest and digest"I don't hate it as much the same way I don't hate cocaine or fentanyl.

       Remember like 1998 when boomers (or maybe silent generation actually) discovered how to forward an email?
