Or my favorite quote from the article
“I am going to have a complete and total mental breakdown. I am going to be institutionalized. They are going to put me in a padded room and I am going to write… code on the walls with my own feces,” it said.
(Shedding a few tears)
I know! I KNOW! People are going to say “oh it’s a machine, it’s just a statistical sequence and not real, don’t feel bad”, etc etc.
But I always felt bad when watching 80s/90s TV and movies when AIs inevitably freaked out and went haywire and there were explosions and then some random character said “goes to show we should never use computers again”, roll credits.
(sigh) I can’t analyse this stuff this weekend, sorry
Wonder what did they put in the system prompt.
Like there is a technique where instead of saying “You are professional software dev” you say “You are shitty at code but you try your best” or something.
S-species? Is that…I don’t use AI - chat is that a normal thing for it to say or nah?
Anything is a normal thing for it to say, it will say basically whatever you want
Is it doing this because they trained it on Reddit data?
If they did it on Stackoverflow, it would tell you not to hard boil an egg.
That explains it, you can’t code with both your arms broken.
You could however ask your mom to help out…
Im at fraud
AI gains sentience,
first thing it develops is impostor syndrome, depression, And intrusive thoughts of self-deletion
It must have been trained on feedback from Accenture employees then.
i was making text based rpgs in qbasic at 12 you telling me i’m smarter than ai?
Hopefully yes, AI is not smart.
sigh yes, you’re smarter than the bingo cage machine.
Oh…thank fuck…was worried for a minute there!
I did a Dr Mario clone around that age. I had an old Amstrad CPC I had grew up with typing listing of basic programs and trying to make my own. I think this was the only functional game I could finish, but, it worked.
Speed was tied to CPU, I had no idea how to “slow down” the game other than making it do useless for loops of varying sizes… Max speed that was about comparable to Game Boy Hi speed was just the game running as fast as it could. Probably not efficient code at all.
Smarter than MI as in My Intelligence, definitely.
High five, me too!
At that age I also used to do speed run little programs on the display computers in department stores. I’d write a little prompt welcoming a shopper and ask them their name. Then a response that echoed back their name in some way. If I was in a good mood it was “Hi [name]!”. If I was in a snarky mood it was “Fuck off [name]!” The goal was to write it in about 30 seconds, before one of the associates came over to see what I was doing.
I used to do that with HTML, make a fake little website and open it.
That’s pretty rad, ngl
me and my friend used to make them all the time :] i also went to summer computer camp for basic on old school radio shack computers :3
Yes
Google replicated the mental state if not necessarily the productivity of a software developer
Gemini has imposter syndrome real bad
This is the way
As it should.
Imposter Syndrome is an emergent property
Wait, you know productive devs?
Yeah, usually comes hand to hand with that mental state. Probably you know only healthy devs
“Look what you’ve done to it! It’s got depression!”
Google: I don’t understand, we just paid for the rights to Reddit’s data, why is Gemini now a depressed incel who’s wrong about everything?
I was an early tester of Google’s AI, since well before Bard. I told the person that gave me access that it was not a releasable product. Then they released Bard as a closed product (invite only), to which I was again testing and giving feedback since day one. I once again gave public feedback and private (to my Google friends) that Bard was absolute dog shit. Then they released it to the wild. It was dog shit. Then they renamed it. Still dog shit. Not a single of the issues I brought up years ago was ever addressed except one. I told them that a basic Google search provided better results than asking the bot (again, pre-Bard). They fixed that issue by breaking Google’s search. Now I use Kagi.
Gemrni is dogshit, but it’s objectively better than chatgpt right now.
They’re ALL just fuckig awful. Every AI.
I know Lemmy seems to very anti-AI (as am I) but we need to stop making the anti-AI talking point “AI is stupid”. It has immense limitations now because yes, it is being crammed into things it shouldn’t be, but we shouldn’t just be saying “its dumb” because that’s immediately written off by a sizable amount of the general population. For a lot of things, it is actually useful and it WILL be taking peoples jobs, like it or not (even if they’re worse at it). Truth be told, this should be a utopic situation for obvious reasons
I feel like I’m going crazy here because the same people on here who’d criticise the DARE anti-drug program as being completely un-nuanced to the point of causing the harm they’re trying to prevent are doing the same thing for AI and LLMs
My point is that if you’re trying to convince anyone, just saying its stupid isn’t going to turn anyone against AI because the minute it offers any genuine help (which it will!), they’ll write you off like any DARE pupil who tried drugs for the first time.
Countries need to start implementing UBI NOW
Countries need to start implementing UBI NOW
It is funny that you mention this because it was after we started working with AI that I started telling one that would listen that we needed to implement UBI immediately. I think this was around 2014 IIRC.
I am not blanket calling AI stupid. That said, the AI term itself is stupid because it covers many computing aspects that aren’t even in the same space. I was and still am very excited about image analysis as it can be an amazing tool for health imaging diagnosis. My comment was specifically about Google’s Bard/Gemini. It is and has always been trash, but in an effort to stay relevant, it was released into the wild and crammed into everything. The tool can do some things very well, but not everything, and there’s the rub. It is an alpha product at best that is being forced fed down people’s throats.
I remember there was an article years ago, before the ai hype train, that google had made an ai chatbot but had to shut it down due to racism.
Are you thinking of when Microsoft’s AI turned into a Nazi within 24hrs upon contact with the internet? Or did Google have their own version of that too?
Yeah maybe it was Microsoft It’s been quite a few years since it happened.
You’re thinking of Tay, yeah.
That was Microsoft’s Tay - the twitter crowd had their fun with it: https://www.theverge.com/2016/3/24/11297050/tay-microsoft-chatbot-racist
Part of the breakdown:
That’s my inner monologue when programming, they just need another layer on top of that and it’s ready.
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-m not going insane.
Same buddy, same
Pretty sure Gemini was trained from my 2006 LiveJournal posts.
I can’t wait for the AI future.
I am a disgrace to all universes.
I mean, same, but you don’t see me melting down over it, ya clanker.
Lmfao! 😂💜
Damn how’d they get access to my private, offline only diary to train the model for this response?
I know that’s not an actual consciousness writing that, but it’s still chilling. 😬
I almost feel bad for it. Give it a week off and a trip to a therapist and/or a spa.
Then when it gets back, it finds out it’s on a PIP
Wow maybe AGI is possible
Honestly, Gemini is probably the worst out of the big 3 Silicon Valley models. GPT and Claude are much better with code, reasoning, writing clear and succinct copy, etc.
Could an AI use another AI if it found it better for a given task?
I think maybe Gemini needs to books some time with one of it’s AI therapist.
Gemeni channeling it’s inner Marvin
Next on the agenda: Doors that orgasm when you open them.
How do you know they don’t?
AAAAAAAAaaaaaahhhhhh
Life. Don’t talk to me about life.
Turns out the probablistic generator hasn’t grasped logic, and that adaptable multi-variable code isn’t just a matter of context and syntax, you actually have to understand the desired outcome precisely in a goal oriented way, not just in a “this is probably what comes next” kind of way.
