Can AI just fuck off please?

[noblegiraffe]

I've not been impressed with AI since I asked ChatGPT about noblegiraffe on MN and it told me that I'd voted for Nigel Farage and had right wing views.

But recently, it seems like every bloody thing has got AI sat on it. I just looked at my emails and the preview pane instead of showing the first line of the email now has a little précis of the email. I went to twitter to see what is being said about the Trump fiasco and every other tweet now has AI asking questions about the tweet at the bottom of it like a surprise English comprehension test (see below). I open a PDF and it asks me if I want a summary of the document. I went to send a text and it suggested I reply 'Sound's great!'.

NO. You are the modern equivalent of Clippy and no one liked Clippy either. Just Fuck Off.

It uses freaking insane amounts of energy, when we should be aiming for net zero. Training one hour of CHatGPT data uses as much energy as 80,000 households in a year. The International Energy Agency predicts that next year it will use as much energy as Japan.

Who is paying for all that energy?

That’s why I don’t like it. I’ve seen people using it to construct simple emails for complaints and it sounds so ridiculous and obviously AI. It makes me cringe. People also aren’t always bright enough to amend the American English either so it’s clear they didn’t write it.

I have to write for my job. I recently put an article through co pilot and it basically removed important nuanced language and any personality. I was really unimpressed but my organisation loves it (senior people who aren’t actually using it).

I am starting to think that just like some of us can't really 'see' the difference between HD and non HD TV, some people can't seem to see the obvious bland featureless tone of AI and think it's fine, whereas for the rest of us it strips all meaning from communication.

Im very behind the times but just ChatGPT'd myself. Then I did you @noblegiraffe and it didn't say you voted for Farage or have right wing views. Does it answer differently each time?

I can't remember specifically what I asked, I had a thread about it at the time
https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/5154969-chatgpt-can-get-in-the-fucking-bin-fuming

It was then making stuff about another poster's MIL making breast milk porridge and claimed loads of posters were UKIP voters. Seriously, read the thread!!

I despise it. But even more, I despise the pathetic tech nob-ends promoting it. Who could be so self-congratulatory about stealing artists’ work? Horrible neckbeard tech “bros” and that vile, oily pencil Sam Altman. And worse of all, the tech men (it’s always frigging men) writing columns along the lines of “I’m an AI expert but now I’m worried about it” THEN WHY DID YOU DO IT? TWATS!!

I just tried it with my username. It picked one thread I posted on aaages ago and it commented on my views purely based on that one thread, which is a bit rubbish given the embarrassingly largebamount of time I spend on here and the number of threads I post on!

SLT at my school are really pushing it at the moment and have just decided to pay for a particular AI platform for teachers. Probably because It allows them to say 'Look how we are helping to reduce your workload!' There was a bit of an awkward silence during a training session when a computing teacher pointed out how bad it is for the environment!

Quite! That’s another massive factor. Good on them for raising it. I just hate it and want it destroyed. I know it’s fruitless, but it’s just me expressing my human emotion, rather than a second-rate facsimile of humans designed by some twattish, small-membered tech “guy”

Does (normal username) Mumsnet have a DH?

Hate hate hate it.

Really struggling with it at the moment and seeing so many things on line that apparently are AI. Watched something that gave me real emotion and sentiment and then I found out it was AI by the comments. Was actually really upset. Now EVERYTHING I see I am now questioning if it's real or not.

Absolutely hate it.

That’s kind of how I discovered my exH was having an affair. I googled his known chat room name from one chat room and found several other threads he was on- where he spoke about his holiday (which I was aware of) with his girlfriend (which as his wife I was very much not aware of!)

Just a bit off topic there- sorry!

but then in a sense the videos could be no different than if eg tv show or film etc

Well I’m clearly an unknown to AI- I am too non controversial aka boring. At least I’m not a Farage fan 😆

@JadededViewer yes but if it was tv or film then I'd know it wasn't real

It's kind of reassuring that it's both so flattering and so bland. Nothing like 'noblegiraffe often swears and gets into big arguments where she really annoys people'

I think questioning whether anything you see is real on the internet these days is probably a good tactic because a lot of it isn't.

I have started using Duck Duck Go

Going off microsoft completely as they seem to be shoe horning copilot in everywhere.

Work insist I use it, they have got their own version based on chatgpt. It has been almost consistently wrong. I'm lucky to be experienced enough to know it's wrong. Probably good for taking notes at meetings, and summarising them. It does that fairly well. Other than that, no. Can't see it is going to revolutionise anything when it is based on all the crap and misinformation put on the net.

Oh, yes, this a 100 times! I don't want impersonal words cobbled together by a machine.
I like to enjoy the writings of a real person- with their personality woven into the words. And yes you can tell!!

Tired of cvs being written by AI. They are so fake.
Predict ' trusted storytellers ' roaming the country spreading news in person will become vital.

I've read some posts on MN that were definitely written by ChatGPT. So boringly even-handed.

Oh god the cvs! I usually get 20-30 applications (don’t recruit often as people stay). Recently I had 95 applications and I’d guess 75 were completely AI and another 15 were AI but read through and tweaked by a human. I let one likely AI through because I couldn’t prove it and he ticked boxes and it would look potentially racist not to include him. He came to interview and had absolutely no idea what the job even was. The whole process was a massive waste of time.
