    Had it write some simple shader yesterday cause I have no idea how those work. It told me about how to use the mix and step functions to optimize for GPUs, then promptly added some errors I had to find myself. Actually not that bad cause now after fixing it I do understand the code. Very educational.

      This is my experience using it for electrical engineering and programming. It will give me 80% of the answer, and the remainder 20% is hidden errors. Turns out the best way to learn math from GPT is to ask it a question you know the answer (but not the process) to. Then, reverse engineer the process and determine what mistakes were made and why they impact the result.

      Alternatively, just refer to existing materials in the textbook and online. Then you learn it right the first time.

        thank you for that last sentence because I thought I was going crazy reading through these responses.

            ok, I finally figured out my view on this I believe. I was worried I was being a grumpy old man who was just yelling at the AI (still probably am, but at least I can articulate why I feel this is a negative reply to my concerns)

            It’s not reproducible.

            I personally don’t believe asking an AI with a prompt then “troubleshooting” it is the best educational tool for the masses to be promoted to each-other. It works for some individuals, but as you can see the results will always vary with time.

            There are so many promotional and awesome educational tools that emphasize the “doing” part instead of reading. You don’t need to ask an AI prompt then try to fix all the horrible shit when there is always a statistically likely chance you will never be able to solve it and the AI gave you an impossible answer to fix.

            I get some people do it, some people succeed, and some people are maybe so lonely that this interaction is actually preferable since it seems like some weird sort of collaboration. The reality is that the AI was trained unethically and has so many moral and ethical repercussions that just finding a decent educator or forum/discord to actually engage with is whole magnitudes better for society and your own mental processes.

      Shaders are black magic so understandable. However, they’re worth learning precisely because they are black magic. Makes you feel incredibly powerful once you start understanding them.

      I used it yesterday because I couldn’t get mastodon’s version of http signing working. It spat out a shell script which worked, which is more than my attempts did.

      There are uses for AI.

      It’s good at pointing you in the right direction, I consider that helpful

      It’s not much good beyond that, though, and shouldn’t be used as such

    To me the worse thing is, my collage uses ai to make the tests, I can see it’s made by it because of multiple correct options, and in a group the teacher said something like “why lost 1h to make when ai can make it in seconds”

    I like to use ai to “convert” citations, like APA to ABNT, I’m lazy for it and it’s just moving the position of the words so yeah

    ChatGPT is learning from my fucking. All males will be amazing at oral sex and learning to last “almost too long”.

    Too bad everyone will be fucking robots by then

    ITT

    I used Ai recently and it got some details wrong so it is entirely useless for anyone, anywhere under any circumstances, even though it’s less than six years old as a technology!

    crosses arms

    You guys are like newspaper men in the 1940s raging about TV being an experimental failure.

    Been seeing a lot of very confident posts from artist that the world doesn’t need machines with this complexity. Which is kind of funny coming from a crowd who generally couldn’t do complex math by hand if their life depended on it.
