    You know what would be more useful than this AI and wouldn’t cost billions of dollars? If Facebook made a simple recipe that didn’t have all that fluff. Instead of having AI try to come up with it in the fly, you could just have premade recipes. Wouldn’t that be grand. Oh wait, that wouldn’t give the opportunity for the AI to recommend a specific brand of soy sauce or that you buy your spices from Doordash with a 10% discount coupon!

      chatGPT as NEVR suggested a specific bran to me. What is it about anti-AI crusading do you think excuses your deliberate misinformation?

        If you think that they’re never going to put subtle ads into LLM output then you are really, really unaware of what the tech world is like and how they’re fucking using you

        AI deserves to be crusaded against because we cannot trust the motivations of any of its creators. Do YOU trust Mark Zuckerberg??

          If you think that they’re never going to put subtle ads into LLM output

          I know for a fact that the ones I’ve used have never done that. I don’t just mindlessly use them, I evaluate their output. The tech “using me” isn’t a surprise, like you single-minded ideologues think. I know what I put in and what use I’m looking to get out of it. It’s an extremely useful tool that I’m not going to discard because of angry people with shitty arguments on the internet.

          These “crusades” are stupid and pointless. If YOU don’t want to use it, THEN DON’T. Get over your rampant arrogance and understand that you’re not entitled to order others around.

        Why do you think advertising companies like Google and Meta are dumping so much money into AI? It isn’t to make a better product for the user.

          Because OpenAI opened up this new front and every other tech company has been trying to catch up since. Because it’s a service they can offer people and make money from.

          It isn’t to make a better product for the user.

          Yeah I guess that’s why they’ve drastically improved in just a few years. Great agument.
