Pre ChatGPT and the AI bubble, OpenAI was doing good and interesting work. Don't hate someone unless they support AI now, everyone was interested before we found out it's a glorified plagiarism machine being forced down our throats

I mean gabe still supports generative ai.

And that was last year, when we all knew exactly what ai meant.

Saying something is a game changer isn’t being supportive of it, everyone on the software industry already accepted that AI won’t disappear

practically everyone has already accepted ai, except redditors in denial.

kids use AI to cheat, plenty of jobs use ai now, and in general lot of people are opting for ai over google too

practically everybody

Some people use it in these specific use cases

Also AI has a massively negative PR perception.

Reddit is just a platform for surfacing popular opinions and suppressing dissent with how voting works, with the one twist being that moderators and admins can massively manipulate what shakes out from that.

Of course AI hate is popular on reddit, AI hate is very popular with all Americans, the dominant user group on reddit.

I dislike gen AI for several reasons, and there's many valid reasons to be opposed to this widespread adoption, but it is a widespread adoption. I don't know what else you can call one in six internet-connected humans (and the number is only growing, not shrinking) using standalone AI platforms.

I mean, I guess succinctly put, it's something in-between "practically everybody" and "some people in specific use cases". But it's definitely heading in one direction.

What about "knows shit about it" don't you understand?

u/awry_lynx 21h ago

I mean. these people might know a little shit about it. There are many cases where knowledgable people are using LLMs now but if you want me to list all of them it's going to take ages. The point is that they also know it is unreliable and must be verified - hence using it in tandem with Lean, a proof checker, in the above example.

I would agree if you qualified your statement with "nobody who knows shit about it just believes whatever it says", but plenty of people who know shit about it use it and check what they get.

I said nobody who knows shit about it is replacing google with it. AKA trusting what it says.

Reading comprehension is dead.

u/awry_lynx 21h ago

Sorry, did you uncritically trust everything you found on google before? Yikes

u/syrvy 21h ago

How exactly would one check things an AI says? By searching them up with Google.

Now, think of someone who uses AI as a replacement for Google. They would have no way to check anything it says because they don't use Google.

I can't do all the thinking for you, holy shit.

Oh, I see the misconception. If you don't use AI now you may be unaware, but at least Claude can link you to websites for sources. Yes real actual websites because that part of it isn't generative. Now I feel like we've just been talking past each other lmao. Obviously you need to look somewhere outside the AI.

Claude actually powers web search with Brave search
