In my uni days, we studied why cigarette shaming was effective, and why fat shaming wasn’t, turns out a lot of overweight people eat to regulate emotions, shaming them for being fat increased risk of emotional eating. While it may have worked for you, studies show it’s ineffective at pushing people to lose weight.

“These phantom job postings aren’t just wasting your time. They’re stalling your career while destroying your confidence.”

The most ghastly AI phrase, gave up reading right there.

Don’t normalise him? He’s the president…? I don’t think a Lemmy boycott of reaction pics is gonna sway much.

You can login and it’ll stop with the pop ups for a year.

I mean, it cited the exact line in the other hospitals EA, that’s what deep research mode does. Methinks you don’t know how far chatgpt has come, and are just basing it off of the original models?

helping along the death of the internet

Am I? Chastising those on Lemmy for using AI, are they the cause of the dead internet theory? Or is that caused by bot farms manipulating social media algorithms? Just because a hammer builds weapons doesn’t mean one should ban the hammer.

You may not contribute to scraped sites

I disagree, AI is likely a solution to worsening forums and the like - boring old repeated questions will be answered by AI, anything more unique and interesting will be asked of real people.

I like gathering information

Unless you’re doing your own physical research on every possible query and question, you’re just as complicit as an AI user for gathering secondary information. You reading a blog post on a topic is no better than me reading an AI summary of 1,000 blog posts.

Bubble bursts

That’s like getting angry at McDonalds for the 80s recession, because a bunch of secondary investors bet on it’s perpetual success. Thats not the fault of McDonalds OR LLMs.

These are lazy, illogical complaints about a new technology from reactionary conservative thinking, the same thing was said about the internet when you were younger, of TV when your parents were younger, and of the radio, and of the phonograph, and of the camera etc etc. Get with the times OLD MAN.

I mean, sure, if you use it to write an essay of course it’s gonna impede knowledge retention. But that’s the equivalent of going “the ctrl-c/ctrl-v command is associated with reduced pre-frontal cortex activation”.

I mean, I don’t care if people refuse to get on board with new tech, but it screams a lack of understanding of the tech. People are going “musk bad, Altman bad, tech bro bad” and going “therefore chatgpt bad”.

Na chatgpt good, handy, I fed it my current Employee Enterprise Agreement and the previous 2, and asked via deep research for a comparison of them all, against comparable businesses to see if our pay increases were fair. Ive got a meeting today to argue for increases, after ChatGPT found that we were a little under. What a brilliant tool!

Part of the learning process is working and searching for an answer

That logic can be used to poo-poo literally any study aid. Why is watching a YouTube video on how to tamp a post superior to a chatgpt summary?

Why take the train when you should “expend an iota of effort” and make the 3 hour walk to work?

This is unsound logic that I expect on Reddit, not Lemmy. Go continue your crusade against the spinning jenny, small-minded Luddite.

Fair enough, so why not use it while it’s there?

Chatgpt helped me build my garden beds, build a lamp out of an old telephone, learn Japanese grammar quirks, improve lacklustre recipes, look after my plants and stop my dog from barking. That’s this month.

I could have gone to Reddit or blogs and scrounged around for hours/days to find that info, but chatgpt had already aggregated it and neatly presented it.

The Luddites who refuse to use AI are simply that. You either don’t understand it’s weaknesses and learn to work around them, or you’re becoming your techphobic grandparents.

Makes people less inclined to fight or ignore it when there’s a time limit like that.

Lucky. I think about my own mortality literally every single night, it’s become a pattern that I have to just stop thinking about, like, block that thought, think about something else otherwise panic.

I hate hate hate that I’m going to die, I will rage against it for as long as I live (hopefully forever as CRISPR will allow… Right?)

No sorry it was ai

I think racism and tribalism is easy. It’s the first thought of an uneducated person, it’s base, it’s instinct, and it feels good to follow through on any conviction. But most people had no good reason to he racist, you worked with a few migrants, the black guy at college was great, and Jackie Chan movies are great. Then the internet / bot farms / Russia came along, and fed the uneducated a constant steady stream of racist content. Couple that with the people who found politics too boring getting Donald Trump. And he’s seen the racist bot farm content too! He just gets us! Bam, a recipe for disaster.

Man the ones in Melbourne Australia cost up to $3,000 to adopt, unless you get Pitbulls and mastiffs, then it’s $600. I just adopted a little Maltese looking thing for 1.5k

Deep cut

Ive been here over a year and I still don’t know wtf is going on. I don’t know what aussie.zone is, I don’t know what “local” is versus “all”, I don’t know what “all” includes and why it changes. I don’t know how to find new subs except accidentally on “all”, my brother wanted to drop Reddit and join Lemmy, I had no clue how I signed up.

But, after all that it’s still better than Reddit.

Every time proper left wing policy is offered to Americans, you vote it down. Progressive policy does not fly in the US.

Your country has abandoned you GI, why donate your time and effort to a nation that only takes? Defect GI, migrate to a nation that appreciates your labour. Come to Australia! We have nationalised health care, some of the highest wages in the world, the best electoral system in the world, and Melbourne constantly ranking as one the best cities in the world.

Imagining complaining about someone tipping out fresh water, while eating a burger when a single kilo of beef uses between 15,000 to 200,000 liters.

Like, until you stop doing the worst thing a single consumer can do to the planet for literally nothing but greed and pleasure (eating meat instead of healthier alternatives), you have no leg to criticize.
