That looks far better than the mainstream AI tools, but I don't think respecting opt-outs is quite enough. It would be so much better if it were built from solely opt-in training data. As far as I can tell, it's not attempting to tackle the hallucinations or environmental impact issues. Still, it would be a major change for the better if ChatGPT users switched to something like that.

You hit the nail on the head. They produce output that mimics the appearance of a thoughtful response, but isn't that at all. LLMs do not actually think and do not have any concept of truth.
This is probably why things like ClickUp naming their AI tool "Brain" annoys me so much. It's designed partially as a way for organizations to get aggregated access to the major LLMs. So yeah, my former coworkers are getting LLM output from "Clickup Brain." What a marketing scam.
I've been wondering how people's attitudes toward LLMs would shift if society collectively changed the language we used about them to be more accurate. Maybe there wouldn't be so many people claiming "AI is great for research" and whatnot. Even then, though, I doubt people would fully get past the human tendency to trust confident-sounding language.
Yes, Google's AI features are horrifying for so many reasons!
I can't fathom all of the hallucinated information spread by Google alone, often to people who weren't even trying to use AI but got an AI overview at the top of their results anyway. Google AI mode is just creating more BS that most people will never notice because they won't check the original source of the information.
Dang, I wish AI were just things like bird identification tools! That would be a much more wholesome world.
I might actually use and contribute to BirdNET. It looks like it helps with global biodiversity monitoring, which is awesome.
Thank you so much for this! If I get into video editing at some point, I'll totally use CorridorKey for green screen stuff. It actually does check all of my boxes and more. It's a very narrow/specific tool, and it's not something anyone could use to persuade a ChatGPT user to quit, but this gives me hope that other ethical AI tools are possible.
Hadn’t heard about this. Interesting concept! Would it make any sense for a non-European, do you think?
Looks interesting, thanks!
Awesome, thanks!
Oh, of course. Can't believe I didn't get that one right away. Thanks!
Hi, sorry for the late comment (just got on Lemmy!), but what's happening in November?
Dang, maybe it's time for me to consider re-converting to Catholicism
