Uploading entire conversation to a data harvesting company is so wise...

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 103 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I've seen many screenshots of people genuinely doing that. It's disturbing.

"My BF and I are arguing, help me win."

"Tell me how to respond to this girl I'm interested in."

"Tell me how to respond to this girl I'm interested in."

This might actually be a win. It will accidentally train them to be polite and courteous.

[–] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 53 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm guessing this is mainly a joke, but it's really not training them to do anything except offload the "labor" of relationships to a third party and that women are video games where selecting the right dialogue options will get you your preferred ending.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Who doesn't like a happy ending?

[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 37 points 2 weeks ago

The person cleaning the massage tables.

[–] jerakor@startrek.website -4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Not everyone has good role models. Would you rather people get advice from Andrew Tates or Grok? Because you might want it to be someone other than those options but right now that is what a lot of people are picking between and we have no way of reaching and stopping them from picking poorly. As awful as Grok is, it manages to be somehow better than the other options.

[–] assembly@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

I have a feeling Grok specifically is probably trained on folk like Andrew Tate.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

like asking do you want syphilis or aids....

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It depends on the usage.

If the user is reading the response and then thinking about it and adapting the suggestions to their own style of speaking, maybe they'll learn something over time. Studies have shown that students who use LLMs as a tutor do improve their understanding of material.

If they're copy/pasting like most of the world, then there's evidence to suggest that they'll actually get worse at the thing they're offloading to the LLM.

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

You know tgere's people that upload complete, unedited customer data with a prompt "write personalized emails for these customer to sell x"

[–] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

This is still better than what my mother would do when her and her second husband were arguing. She would call me or one of my brothers to try to get us to take her side in the argument.

We would have much preferred her taking it to AI than trying to drag us into her disagreements.

ChatGPT, where is the best place to buy methamphetamines and a hooker locally?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you need an AI to tell you that you don't deserve either. You got to get in your car and drive around it two o'clock in the morning or it isn't worth it.

[–] MeatPilot@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Just like my father did and his father before him. AI can't replace traditions.

[–] deft@lemmy.wtf 4 points 2 weeks ago

Go to your local sex shop and ask. That's where the hooker who bought me booze when I was 18 would work

Isn't Craigslist still alive but barely kicking? Some wild and very overt things in the missed connections section.

Edit

Still alive and horny

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

Sounds nice. I don't know what the issue is?

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

yes,but it's only used by boomers anymore.

[–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

To be fair, those conversations probably happened on the data harvesting company's platform.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] limer@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

I’ve known at least one who has; of course it was for different purposes, outcomes and all that.

But it’s very possible, and realistic.

Which is what makes the joke funny

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ if the conversation was via a centralised platform like WhatsApp, SMS, or Discord, they probably already have it...

[–] klankin@piefed.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Lmao, try accounting software with automatic uploads for the entire staff.

Supposed to do accountants math, cause that's something computers struggled with so much before /s

[–] Aeder@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Our bosses sold this "AI analysis system" thing to another company, and for the most part it was a horribly vibecoded but otherwise unremarkable dashboard. But the AI analysis part? It's a fucking chatbot that all it does is ask you which graph and which data you want and it picks from list of preset graphs in the frontend code, and then makes a call to preset endpoints in the backend to get the data to fill it... All things that could be done without the chatbot in the middle.

Most "AI products" are the same griftware.

[–] blackshirt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Me in the 90s: computers are great, I wish everyone has access to them and know how to use them.

Me today: hey genie, can I get one more wish to undo my last one.

[–] Aeder@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

The real problem is that only the first part of the wish got granted: everyone has computers, but they don't know how they work and thus can't use them responsibly.

[–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Neither is posting the same meme that's been posted 5 times in a week, but here we are.

[–] M137@lemmy.today -1 points 2 weeks ago

That's the thing you decided was the topic of importance to comment about...? Trying to not read too much into this but I can't deny that your comment is very weird, there's so much worse going on.

[–] threeonefour@piefed.ca 138 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I hate how people are using AI for this now. It used to be that you had to actually do that work of kidnapping your therapist and getting them to roleplay as your ex-wife at knifepoint.

[–] SoupBrick@pawb.social 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"Imagine describing your girlfriend to someone who has never seen a girlfriend before and then asking them to roleplay as her."

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Don't have to, that's a service escorts provide. But it costs a lot more.

[–] lemmygarden@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It costs about the same as a therapist

[–] Delusions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

But you get to fuck afterwards? Wonder if cigna covers a brothel

[–] wanderinglurk@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Until competent therapists are just as convenient as LLMs, consumers will often choose the cheaper option.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

How do you get the wig on the AI though?

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

That was the plot of my favorite underrated Adam Sandler film.

/S

How is this slop? I don't think this is an AI generated image.

[–] Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The image quite literally contains a text chat with a bot. It could not more clearly be ai generated. It's "haha look at my chatgpt log its so funny" content.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah but it's actually funny, and he posts it? More likely to be fake and gay.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 43 points 2 weeks ago

"Just how I remember her"

[–] eggpl4nt@lemmy.world 41 points 2 weeks ago

It gives r/TwoSentenceHorrorStories kinda vibes, I like it.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 33 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

When even the LLM knows you're fucked up.

[–] M137@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

There's gotta be so many actual occurrences of this, just that the answer from the LLM would be different.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

When the stochastic parrot replies the way you asked it to....
