Being polite to your AI chatbot could actually be making it worse at answering your questions according to a new study.

    Do not engage with chatbots at all. Let this LLM psychosis end. That’s the best result for humanity.

      Ahhh, yes, the “stick your head in the sand until it blows over” strategy. Because that’s always worked, right?

        I’m saying don’t use unethical tech. If you want to interpret that as sticking your head in the sand, you can, but I think you’re being obtuse.

        Unless you’re advocating that we go and burn down the infrastructure that runs these LLMs - is that what you’re saying?

          It’s foolish to think this will just blow over, and the tech will magically disappear, no matter how you think about its ethics.

          It’s better to take control of the technology directly, promote open-source models, push local usage, use it as a tool for the people, not as a tool for corporations. Use the tech against the elites. Show how fragile their position is.

          If you don’t take control of the situation, the world will take control of it for you.

            I don’t want to use LLMs. I feel the majority of use cases for LLMs are inauthentic, lazy, unhelpful, and uncreative.

            It feels like I’ve said “fizzy drinks are bad” and you’ve told me to drink diet sodas.

            I understand that dbzero is a pro-AI instance, so I think we’re just fundamentally not going to agree on this. 🤷‍♂️
