…never stop proving you are the stupidest fucking people in the whole world america
On the last election in my country, I’ve visited tents set by 10 different political parties that are entering the election just to see how would they try to convince me, if I went to them as an uncertain voter that’s warm to their party. It was a genuine eye-opener regarding what these parties do to influence uncertain voters which especially matters in my country because on polls, people that are uncertain make up %12-16, which will tip elections exactly when it matters.
3 parties instantly tried to recruit me as a party member within the first minute, 5 parties we actually had a discussion that 2 of which had a roadmap they could present right there, 2 parties treated it as a gift merch with their names on to boost their visibility operation, on one party the dude there had no idea what their ideology is and just said “trust me man this dude is solid. Vote him”, one party just badmouthed an opposing party in the whole discussion and didn’t mention a single thing they would improve.
No amount of AI could give that amount of representation I got right there.
Is this not what it was designed for?
Not with the monied interests in charge of its operation. They want people to depend upon the big AIs for answers to everything so they can subtly guide the populace’s “thinking” and control them like the sheep most of them are.
Yes, that’s what the comment was saying.
Could be interpreted either way, I suppose - it was extremely vague.
I did mean it that way haha
When the companies can adjust the weights and responses to be more soft or critical to topics, you can’t exactly trust that it isn’t unbias some how.
you can click through to the source material when it’s linked.
but nobody is doing that, and when I admit to doing it people tell me I’m deranged.
God, these people are not capable of rational thought.
In an ideal world where it still exists it would just give them approved links to the candidates policies and voting history but we all know that’s not what’s happening.
We’re seriously fuckin’ doomed, as a species. All the morons are outsourcing their decision making to people who’ve learned to game the system exclusively for profit.
It really is nightmarish. I don’t know how else to say it. Something’s gotta give, but I’m afraid it’s not going to.
Profit and cruelty
Looks at religion
Not much different, really.
Honestly, this is nothing new.
Listening to ChatGPT is a solid improvement over listening to Tucker Carlson.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not good! I don’t exactly trust the Sam Altmans of the world. But this is the same circus, different clowns.
same circus, different clowns.
Or as I heard the other day:
Same shit, different flies
I’ve always felt lucky to have been born Gen X. The music, the movies, the sports… all the legendary moments and all the huge breakthroughs to have been able to experience.
But now, sadly- there is another bonus, I’ll never live long enough to see end-result of AI erasing human culture. It’s enough to see it so quickly and thoroughly hobble the younger generation’s ability to think for themselves… we also have to see people dumb enough to enable it to continue.
I may not be glad when my times comes… but I think I’ll be pretty relieved.
Facebook in one ear and chatgpt in the other. We are doomed.
They are also asking AI to do their grocery list. As i had the pleasure of learning just recently on reddit, when this was posted there.
how does that even work?
like isn’t giving it the inputs of your groceries the same thing as making the list yourself?
or is more like they say ‘i want to cook tandoori chicken this week’ and it just pulls from a generic recipe the ingredients list?
I have no idea. I got downvoted and some dude kept accusing me of “trying to win a discussion” and tell me that he “doesn’t understand my garbage arguments”.
I actually don’t hate this concept as long as you verify (don’t blindly trust) all the info it gives you.
The reason I say this?
Many local races, especially in “purple” areas can be super ambiguous. Candidates will circulate mailers and ads painting themselves as “pro economy, pro schools, and pro puppy” because they are trying to be vanilla AF and appeal to everyone. Their websites often list a few generic issues and that’s it.
AI might actually be useful to summarize major issues, actions, and voting record of the incumbent while collating information about a challenger candidate from other sources.
Local TV tends to be dogshit at their coverage of candidates actual plans and positions but you could also try that, if all else fails. Or maybe find a YouTube video of a debate (if there is one for the office in question) and have the AI give you a bullet point summary.
Everyone thinks they’ve verified what they were told, I’ve even seen people paste text from whatever website saying it supports their point when really it just has similar keywords. Your brain is very use it or lose it, and when you export research and thinking to AI your ability to do either drops.
You’re assuming the AI is impartial. After seeing what Musk did to Grok, you should be thoroughly disabused of that notion.
Exactly. None of the cloud-based LLMs are impartial on politics.
Neither are the local ones, unless they’re also open weights. But even then, there’s a lot more right wing content with reach out there then left wing making the dataset biased from the get go.
or, you know, manipulate the results so that the pro-ai/ceo candidate is shown to be more appealing no matter what the actual situation of the conversation or facts are.
“oh no, sorry I was hallucinating”
Ballot language is crafted to be intentionally misleading and political ads are nothing but hyperbole bullshit.
At least they’re not asking grok.
ugh. but they probably are, aren’t they?
gRoK iS tHiS tRuE?
What could possibly go wrong.
I’ll play devil’s advocate here and say that for people who use AI to make this decision, it’s going to make them decide better.
If you are the type of person who has to ask an AI this question, you probably aren’t capable of making a good decision on your own. In that sense, I agree with you.
That being said, LLMs are being manipulated by billionaires to protect the system that keeps them rich and powerful. They will give bad advice by design.
I’ll admit I am a little stumped myself. Do I vote against republicans early or wait until voting day? What’s going to be harder for them to steal?
Early in person voting tends to be the safest bet
That’s so smart. You don’t have to do any thinking. Pretty soon all thought will be eliminated and AI can tell us how to do everything from how to tie our shoes to how to structure our society. That way we just do what we’re told and can be ruled by a handful of billionaires. Smart. /S
most people don’t enjoy thinking. they also don’t enjoy running marathons.
because both things are painful. they are also time consuming.
they only becoming enjoyable or worthwhile when you have a sufficient level of practice. for someone who is a couch potato, running a marathon is impossible without months or years of hard work, and they also likely think marathon running is stupid and pointless and there is likely something ‘wrong’ with people who run marathons.
thinking and using your mental faculties are no different than your physical ones.
Can confirm. Am dumb and lazy.
As a smart person who hates running I’m really struggling with this one
if you aren’t taking care of your health via exercise, you’re not that smart, are you?
your mind can only function as well as your body can. a good diet and exercise increases your mental capacities.
