A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

My dad cited inaccurate information because of ChatGPT (eviltoast.org)

I run a small VPS host and rely on PayPal for payments, mainly because (a) most VPS customers pay that way if you aren't AWS or GoDaddy and (b) very good fraud protection. My prior venture had quite a bit of chargebacks from Stripe so it went PP-only also.

My dad told me I should "reduce the processing fees" and inaccurately cited that ChatGPT told him PayPal has 5% fees when it really has 3-3.5% fees (plus 49 cents). Yet he insisted 5% was the charge.

Yes, PayPal sucks but ChatGPT sucks even more. When I was a child he said Toontown would ruin my brain, yet LLMs are ruining his even more.

Is that not what ChatGPT was made for? Industrial scale misinformation?

I think the intention was to legalize plagiarism under the guise of helping humanity. Only if corporations do it of course.

The intention was the same as it's always been since the dawn of industry - to reduce the number of humans involved in the means of production. Workers are pesky middle men who keep interfering with profits by asking for expensive luxuries like living wages and human rights.

Though I really don't think any techbro in their deepest ketamine hole actually imagined that the biggest leap in automation since the assembly line was going to start with artistic expression.
