it's kinda sad that the most credulous people for this retarded software are otherwise so intelligent

you know why i don't like the AI? because the media says it's good

and i think the tech behind it is cool, i was an early adopter, my friends on IRC were running a markov chain bot fed by our IRC chat that often aped my text because i was the most prolific message writer

but it was gobbledygook, and the GPTs are still hallucinations but they don't sound as retarded as markov chains, they still read the same way

like, you colud give me 100 texts that were either written by humans or AI, and i bet i can beat 90% accuracy at picking out which is which

they are really obvious to me

This is the first time I've heard of Markov chains.

The robots I've seen on the market are just not impressive. They exist solely because the tech hub around Shenzhen brought the components down in price, so I'm happy we got some progress out of breaking tech out of the wests's bureaucratic stranglehold, but they really don't seem like an innovation.

And the AI hype is so obnoxious. They just regurgitate what humans wrote. If humans wrote wrong stuff, the AI regurgitates errors. And it seems like that's actually how it works - it adds in errors to the point where it looks unique, but that's just tricking people who don't pay attention to detail. If you do pay attention to detail, and correct it, it apologizes programmatically but refuses to violate the ruleset that caused the error.

Its junk. IMO, we should build systems that explicitly exclude AI and anything similar. How to do that... Well, you'd know better than i.

haha, yeah, it would require some kind of gpt thing to recognise gpt things

wasn't it you who posted something, a quote from someone saying that you don't win buy fighting an enemy but by innovating around him? or something to that effect... better to build a new system than to try and destroy an old system

was that you?

Ehhh. Maybe? But that sounds like a typical bitcoiner thing to say, so could've been anyone

sheeit man i would have said the same thing 20 years ago... i live by that it's not unique to bitcoin it's cypherpunk ethic
