A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

A few colleagues and I were sat at our desks the other day, and one of them asked the group, "if you were an animal, what animal would you be?"

I answered with my favourite animal, and we had a little discussion about it. My other colleague answered with two animals, and we tossed those answers back and forth, discussing them and making jokes. We asked the colleague who had asked the question what they thought they'd be, and we discussed their answer.

Regular, normal, light-hearted (time wasting lol) small talk at work between friendly coworkers.

We asked the fourth coworker. He said he'd ask ChatGPT.

It was a really weird moment. We all just kind of sat there. He said the animal it came back with, and that was that. Any further discussion was just "yeah that's what it said" and we all just sort of went back to our work.

That was weird, right? Using ChatGPT for what is clearly just a little bit of friendly small talk? There's no bad blood between any of us, we hang out a lot, but it just struck me as really weird and a little bit sad.

Off course it's bullshit. It doesn't give a fuck favortite animals and can't feel anything not even about humans let alone animals. If you asked it about Israel/Palesine and it would tell you it's "sensitive complicated topic" because it's been scrabbing zionist-influenced western news and does not give a fuck and cannot give a fuck about kids straved and getting maimed and amputed , THAT IS if it's not pre-forcablly censored about the topic already.

Clearest example of outsourcing thought to an AI model

I always hate these questions and never have an answer with any meaning. I’d never delegate to an LLM because I understand the goal of the question but I’d be cheering on the guy that did

If he does this again, in a friendly, no bad blood manner gently correct him

It reminds me of a way to frame being a boring person in a conversation.

Boring people list what happened, and enumerate quantitative variables about something they experienced.

Interesting people share their subjective experience of something.

Dont use these situations to put the 'weird' label on the guy.

Where'd I call him weird? :)

Take your friend out back, put a bullet in their head.

You're asking an objective question in a very biased against AI community. Are you sure you're asking a legit question or are you just asking the question here to get the answer you want? Just a thought.

maybe he has social anxiety or lacks social skills and uses chatGPT as a ~~crotch~~ crutch

Maybe, but we're friendly outside of work and I've never noticed that before with him. Literally a week before that we'd gone for a picnic with some ex colleagues and it was totally normal and fine -- I think he was maybe just already using ChatGPT for a task and figured he would use it cos it was open?
