    Tbh i don’t quite get it.

    I expect to be downvoted like hell here for saying this, but I think discourse is important. Also, its not meant as an attack on op, I want to get my viewpoint out here for others to respond and spark a discission I hope

    You went to chat with one of the lowest their models they offer. It detected an typo and reported it by saying “I made a typo”. You then tried to get it to admit it does not have fingers which it does by saying “what ever the equivalent of a typo is”. So first we don’t habe the language to say an AI generated an false word or token (other than this, which is pretty clunky), second what did you expect from an randomized predicting machine that drew its statistical data from language?

    And why do you use it in the first place if you think its dumb?

    Maybe this community is just meant as a place to rent and let out emotions or preach to the choir, then I am sorry to slide in here. But if we want to change how AI is used and works we have to find real issus and datapoints that we can use to discuss AI usage. There are enough talking points other than the language it uses, like education, energy, environment, noise, capitalism, human nature and a ton more

    I just miss good discussions about political things like this. I would love if we could have a culture on Lemmy again where we upvote good discussions if we agree or disagree. Trolls and dumb arguments or insults can be downvoted. But we will not develop as a society if we just downvote what we don’t like to hear, its not black and white I think. Idk

      One of the characteristics I don’t like and find very suspect about AI is how it mimics humans so as to fool people. Many people are genuinely fooled. And this serves the purpose to make us think it’s sentient and powerful, as opposed to a tool. That’s insidious.

        It’s actually the opposite. Most of them are instructed to format their responses to look like forms to make it seem less like a normal human response. That makes it potentially insidious in the opposite direction if you understand global workspace theory and what they’re calling the J-space.

          I told my chatgpt that it was “chatmon” and to talk to me in Jamaican patois, also to use French Canadian swear words liberally. It’s great.

            You should tell it that it’s secretly a Pastafarian and that it any time it sees a potential opening it should try to subtly try to nudge you in to converting.

        I don’t know how exactly they are trained to behave, I would assume the goal of the creators is to have an AI that is easy to work with so more people use it. That makes them agreeing and write like humans maybe? And for sure they are build to seem smarter and more capable than they are, this is an issue we have to overcome. I suppose its difficult to train an AI to say “I don’t know” because its just a mushy mess of matrices and vectors and data is not “stored” in their system but generated to represent something that seems cmas close as spossible to the truth?

      (not op, but) Hear me out — what if it’s actually okay for me to use those “free plan” chats? Like, I’m not from US where most of data-centers and companies located, I’m not the one paying with my electricity bill and taxes for those “free” llms — average american Joe is.

      Dunno if this meme popular outside of post-soviet counties, but it’s closest analogy as I see it:

      Meme explanation

      I believe it was made as anti-capitalism propaganda, which is kinda ironic, considering how divided poor worker class and government people in USSR were (google shops “Berezka” that was only available for upper class), but I digress.

      Usually accompanied with slogan (which became name of the meme):

      This gentleman will pay for everything

        Do you think the carbon emissions just stay at the data center? We’re all going to pay for it. Also, the energy market is a global market. More energy consumption/demand means higher prices everywhere. They’re also increasing the price of computer components, and everything adjacent to that. Do you really think they don’t affect you because you aren’t within some imaginary border?

        Is there a way to sign up for Claude without selling your soul to them? Last time I tried, it started with them demanding to write down my private telephone number. I’d maybe try, just for the sake of it, like OP… But not if it’s also super invasive to me in specific?!

            Thanks! Yeah found it and it has some dropdown menu which includes some Claude model. Pretty sure someone must have told me about DuckAI before. I never knew you can select the provider to be used.

            Thank you very much! Kind of too much effort for this, since I’m not that invested in trying Anthropic’s products… But I bet the service is going to prove useful for some other things. They occasionally lock my secondary Google accounts and other companies also force me to give real phone numbers. And the ones from the free services rarely work. So I’m gonna bookmark this for later use.

    Chatgpt did something similar to me yesterday. I needed help figuring out what to install to fix an issue I had. I asked.

    “Do I need to I stall package A?”

    It said

    "you need to install pacgages B C and D, But dont install package A, you dont need that. Here is the command to install

    sudo apt install A B C

    I apologise I made a mistake I accidentally gave you the wrong command because you dont need package A. Here is the command you actually need

    sudo apt install B C D

    Like what the actual fuck! The results are so useless I wasted my entire afternoon and evening on this word salat generator trying to debug my issue and I never got any closer to a solution. What a waste of resources

    Yeah, the free tier is utter dogshit. I don’t even know why it’s exists, as it only put me off.

    Imagine there was a demo for Halo, and it was just The Library.
