It’s normal for a person experiencing psychosis to have trouble understanding reality through a lens of a sane person, yes.

"Unimpressed" is the wrong word for how most people see AI. Exasperated, annoyed, angry or disgusted are all more accurate.

It's almost to "PTSD" since I twitch every time I see a sparkle emoji.

I'm impressed that Linux was able to get Microsoft to do so much advertising for Linux.

It's brilliant.

That's the funny part: MS got MS to do advertising for Linux

It isn't that Linux is great

It is that Windows sucks really bad

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 2 points 2 months ago

nah, linux is fucking great, and i spent 35 years of my life with windows because gaming wasn't really an option. Switched about a year ago (time flies, damn), and i got nearly all kinks in my setup worked out by now, which is something i never was able to do in windows, since it's windows. Only thing i'm missing is a software akin to autohotkey, and i wish playnite were available in linux (ideally with umu and prefix management integrated)

Because these people live in another world... they have nothing in common with the normal world and people

LLMs are mostly a party truck that doesn't work half the time. Like ... Neat that it can kinda sorta do some stuff, but not yet at the level of consumer ready product with actual uses. The fact that it's actively detrimental to the people it's being forced on by the clueless ceos and management who are just protecting their other investments makes it just like all the idiotic return to office pushes because they want their real estate portfolios to go back up

Yep. My company has its own AI instance which we are encouraged to use in our work. I uploaded a document today, which I wrote myself, and asked it to summarise the high level requirements so I could copy/paste the bullet points. It got maybe 1/4 of the requirements, and what it output didn’t make sense without extensive knowledge of the topic. Went back to writing it myself, like I normally do.

[–] rozodru@pie.andmc.ca 1 points 2 months ago

the issue is at one point, like say a year or so ago, LLMs weren't that bad. they were fairly accurate in their solutions. But lately within the past few months they've all collectively gotten noticeably worse. They ate up all the content available and then proceeded to start eating each others waste and vomiting out that as a solution. Claude for example at one point was a decent coding assistant. now? now 8 out of 10 solutions are hallucinations. GPT5 is a clear downgrade from previous versions and now the thing just rants and rants in hopes that somewhere in it's rants and info dumps there's potentially the correct solution. It also now fails to remember the context of a prompt most of the time. If you can't get the correct solution within one answer from GPT5 you might as well just close the tab because it's never going to get there.

Awww, he should ask Copilot why people don't find AI impressive.

[–] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 2 months ago

Rich people see exploiting the labor of others as not just normal, but necessary. Without it, they wouldn't survive. Former millionaire being able to hold a real job? Hell no.

AI exploits the labor of others. So, to rich people, AI is a tool to make what they're already doing more efficient. It's more of the same, just faster, and with fewer employees on payroll.

BOO THIS MAN!
