Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

i was under the impression that were explicitly against genAI but i found that some people are actually VERY pro genai and quite dismissive of its risks. this happened on lemmy but i saw people getting downvoted for saying that genAI in its current state is harmful to the environment. i saw the old bullshit of how ”i use AI for art because i cant draw”, it was crazy. i called someone a Promptitute and someone unironically told me not to say that, just so much. so can everybody pls affirm you dont support that crap.

another user straight up admitted that they use AI as a friend and to gn to... i dont care how much we have in common ideologically, i cant support you gning to chatgpt and thinking its your friend...

neural networks have a use case that they genuinely excel at and that's picking up on subtle patterns in immense datasets, and reinforcing those patterns until they become visible to humans. that's basically what neural networks fundamentally are is self-reinforcing pattern-finding programs. biology and chemistry in particular have the kind of near-infinite variables and chaotic systems that really benefit from having a machine that can draw out these patterns for humans to follow up on

advocates for these uses aren't saying the computer should be allowed to directly diagnose people or anything like that, that kind of stupid hubris is a recent thing from the genai people
