It’s fun to say that artificial intelligence is fake and sucks — but evidence is mounting that it’s real and dangerous

It's real and it's dangerous, but it's also fake and it sucks.

I honestly doubt I would ever pay for this shit. I'll use it fine but ive noticed actual serious problematic "hallucinations" that shocked the hell out of me to the point i think it has a hopeless signal/noise problem to the point it could never be serially accurate and trusted

I've had two useful applications of "AI".

One is using it to explain programming frameworks, libraries, and language features. In these cases it's sometimes wrong or outdated, but it's easy to test and check to make sure if it's right. Extremely valuable in this case! It basically just sums up what everybody already said, so it's easier and more on-point than doing a google search.

The other is writing prompts and getting it to make insane videos. In this case all I want is the hallucinations! It makes some stupid insane stuff. But the novelty wears off quick and I just don't care any more.

I will say the coding shit is good stuff ironically. But I would still have to run the code and make sure its sound. In terms of anythint citation-wise tho, its completely sus af

It has straight up made up damn citations that I could have come up with to escape interrogation during a panned 4th grade presentation to a skeptical audience

Oh I don't get it to write code for me. I just get it to explain stuff.
