This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I've found some people just pasting AI answer in an discussion we were having in a forum.
I straight up said, "if I wanted to talk with chatgpt I know the website". And stopped the conversation right there.
I don't even know what was the point of that.
It might not look like it, but the person on the other side has the same tools you do. If they wanted the generic answer, they'd have it in a couple of seconds. They asked you because they wanted your take... Your context, your taste, your judgment.
But how many times do “we” (i.e.: IT, tech support for family) end up having to search for answers for people they don’t look it up themselves? I’m not saying to always spit back AI answers, but to say to not do that because people have the same tools… not a great argument.
I don't love getting pasted AI, but those motherfuckers that paste it and don't even read it are the absolute worst.
steve: I need you to help me because jen is having problems with this AWS policy being wrong it's not linked to that account and the closest thing I can find it this account over here but that doesn't look right, just let me know if you want me to make changes to that policy.
It's just some fucking disconnected stub of a policy from 10 years ago when we changed direction real quick, those accounts don't even exist.
me: jen, what's wrong? jen: I logged out and I can't get back in, the links are missing.
me: here, use this URL. jen, thanks! i'm in!
If you're going to use AI, ok whatever, just make sure it's fucking right!
You can use AI. Seriously! It's a great tool for drafting. Just read what it gave to you , then write your own version, or polish the text. Don't be a middleman between it and the answer.
This website is AI entryism
"Cover up your plagiarism by altering some words here and there so that people won't immediately pick up on how pathetic and pretentious you are."
AI bros don't have any filters.
Incompetent or ignorant person will post the output and hope it confirms their beliefs without them even understanding it.
It sounds smart so it must support my side
Modern "let me google that for you"
I just don't use AI at all for this. I only use it for formatting my code, auditing my code, and research (that I verify). I would never use it for communication.
The website is to send to a friend or colleague who responds to you with AI. Similar to nohello.net
I use it for skincare advice and it’s shockingly going very well because I know enough about skincare to correct it and it can put some stuff together that I didn’t think of. My husband is just like you, for code and research that he verifies.
Our neighbor tried to text us some confrontational shit about why he didn’t owe us $900 for a fence he agreed to and it was so, so bad. It was 4 paragraphs of just AI cringe. Embarrassing as hell.
Do this instead You can use AI. Seriously! It's a great tool for drafting. Just read what it gave to you , then write your own version, or polish the text. Don't be a middleman between it and the answer.
You're still acting as the middle man for the answer. You didn't answer fucking shit. If you, the human being, have nothing to add yourself, stay the fuck out of the conversation. Especially if the questions being posed are asking about other people's personal experiences in something.
Yes, and that paragraph completely contradicts an earlier one.
It might not look like it, but the person on the other side has the same tools you do. If they wanted the generic answer, they'd have it in a couple of seconds.
They're not asking you because they want you to "polish the text" from AI. They could also do that themselves.
Yes this site is close to being good imo, but just falls short and misses the mark. Even if someone tells me verbally, "I asked AI and it said..." I mentally check out and disregard all they say lol
The other day I was out with two of my friends.
My one friend thought their car had a small issue. Me and my other friend are more knowledgeable about cars. We were like, "oh don't worry about that, that's normal." First friend kept fretting until they looked it up on AI and AI said... the same thing that us, the two people standing next to them had said. They were so skeptical after what we said, and so relieved when AI said it was fine. I was so annoyed lmao.
Ironically this page seems to be entirely made of slop, the whole text reeks of claudisms, as opposed to https://noslopgrenade.com/
What really seals it is the 'angry' version, which is just the same message again but with different formatting. No human would label that as "the angry version" without the inclusion of at least one "fucking".
It honestly feels very disrespectful of my time when someone sends me an AI slop response or email.
Don't be that person.
Unrelated, by I also think it's disrespectful of my time when somebody sends me a voice note on a messaging app
Eh, not me.
I'd rather get a voice note than 15 texts.
I would be stricken with grief if my reputation ever took a hit like that. I would resign and become a nomadic goat farmer. Or a bin man. Any job with heaps of shit, which is apparently my true calling.
Personally "I checked with Claude" invalidates anything you just said, even if it was properly researched and legitimately correct. As soon as you invoke the slopbots I lose any regard for your answer.
This is the reason why you simply don't tell anyone that you have used AI... it's the same if you researched Wikipedia or your grandpas 1950s copy of Encyclopedia Britannica: It simply doesn't matter where you got your information from as long as it is valid
It's basically the "appeal to authority" fallacy only worse because Claude is neither an authority nor a provider of hard info.
I never have this problem of people giving me AI responses to my questions.
What I do have a problem with is people who do this:
Just don't reply. Been doing it for years in both personal and work contexts.
If a piece of the model's answer is genuinely useful, quote it and say why. "I checked with Claude and this part lines up:" works great.
It still drives me nuts when my boss does that. Especially since the next thing he sends is a bunch of AI-generated code he just wants us to copy and paste into our application. He treats anything the magic AI says as authoritative, and it overrides anything an actual person can say to him.
