    it’s also completely useless, and even it’s hyped up by the same people who sticked around crypto when it was a thing

      It’s not completely useless, it just not the silver fucking bullet that the cryptobros promised it was. It can do a lot of cool shit, but we keep trying to make it do things it’s really not equipped to do.

        They’re talking about “AI”, not crypto, the crypto bros part of their comment is about it being the same people that jumped on the crypto wagon and defend the energy waste.

          I was using cryptobros as a proxy for the people that hyped AI. I feel like that venn diagram is a circle.

              And if I use “I feel” instead of a more concrete assertion, it’s clear from context that I don’t have any data to back that up off hand and am implicitly making a wider assertion that the people they hyped crypto are the same or akin to the people who are hyping AI.

              Feel free to disprove me.

                Learn how standards of evidence work. “I feel” you got some reading to do.

                  Wasn’t an argument. It was an anecdote. I feel there is insubstantial difference in character and behavior between crypto bros and ai hype people. Given that we are discussing large populations, overlap will occur. It has been my experience that they are generally the same people.

                  Thus “I feel” instead of some kind of demographic analysis. If you are offended by this, maybe don’t associate with willfully uninformed grifters and their victims.

                    Well as long as you feel something it just be true. Especially when it involves humans. It’s a lot easier to make up universal laws of ideas.

        for the “value” it provides (automated spam, new wave of deepfakes and tailor made propaganda, facilitating layoffs with genai as a failed replacement, and most importantly of all hyping openai stock) any amount of resources spent is a massive waste

          Eh. I’ve built multiple apps in very short succession thanks to GPT. I don’t really care if people think it’s useful or not, I know it is.

              While I appreciate how much you must have looked into my profile to find that, I was actually referring to the startup I worked at in South Korea for half a year. The impact I landed there paved the way for me to get my current job at Meta.

                Who exactly is replenishing their storefront shelves in this conversation? And with profiles?

                You should probably start asking ChatGPT to proofread your comments, too.

                    I was commenting more regarding your misuse of the word stocking in place of stalking, instead of about AI, but ya know… I pointed you in the right direction, and you still missed it, and that says enough.

              It’s so far off being able to make software, it’s smart but will never be that smart… Well if it does we’re all done for.

              It’s a fantastic tool for getting a layout for your code however.

                How far off is it from being able to make code well enough that your immediate manager, with basic coding skills, can just do it? Because that’s going to happen to a lot of people and soon.

                  So there’s two arguments happening here; one that ChatGPT is so good that it’ll replace us, and one that it’s terrible and has no usecase. The truth is somewhere in the middle (but I do look forwards to the day it’s the latter)

                  But another thing to consider as well, what’s the point in this whole society thing if we’re not working towards… Not forcing future generations to work.

                  We already know there isn’t going to be enough work for everyone, the problem isn’t AI it’s politics.

          Mate you’re babbling like an old man too. Spam has been automated for a long time. Deepfakes are indeed a problem I agree, but again Photoshop has existed for a long time. Tailor made propaganda has existed as long as civilization has existed. Companies in tech space hand their staff layoffs and hiring in cycles, AI was just the latest excuse. And OpenAI isn’t even publicly traded.

          Stop talking shit and touch grass.
