Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I use Claude, I find it best for technical tasks and I ditched ChatGPT when they started bending over for Trump.
I like the idea of creating software and things in general, but I’ve never really been interested in programming. Having a bit that can do the boring part for me has made lots of stupid little projects possible where they wouldn’t have been before. I also use it to research for me on random boring topics which might otherwise have taken me at least an hour. I know people talk about protecting all these sites that require humans to visit but then I remember how many times I’ve tried to look up a recipe and instead got somebodies life story. Or times when over tried to look up a command and had to scroll past ten paragraphs of filler crap before I get to the answer.
This entire disaster of a comment exemplifies why people hate AI.
What's so terrible about the comment? It sounds like they're using an LLM to help make a bunch of things a little easier for them to deal with.
I use GPT all the time for doing complex searches that traditional search engines can't handle. I ask for citations so I can verify the information, and it's saved me a tonne of trouble.
"I like the idea of making things but I don't want to make things."
Programming requires a certain amount of learning, dedication, and mindset. I'm not going to slag someone off because they'd rather not get in to it.
"I want to be a parent. I love being a parent; it brings me great joy. I don't want to do the icky parts like changing diapers, or making them go to sleep, preparing food for them, taking them to the doctor for checkups. I have a nanny for that, you know, for the boring parts. How would I rate myself as a parent? Probably a 9/10. I deduct a point because I can be too attentive to my baby sometimes. I don't know why some people find parenthood troublesome."
Being a parent is not a hobby as far as I'm concerned.
Sure but what does "I'd rather not get into it" mean if not "I don't like doing it"?
"I don't like doing it" implies to me that they can do it, but they find it a chore. "I'd rather not get in to it" implies to me that they don't have much experience at it, and maybe find it intimidating or too much for them to handle at this time.
Both seem like valid reasons to me to use an available tool as a workaround.
Yeah. To me this all boils down to "I don't want to put in the effort but I want the reward."
I get that, but I don't claim to know that person's situation, and personally wouldn't presume.
Many people are overloaded already and have limited time, energy and motivation to learn and master a certain new skill. If that person was producing AI slop or something like that, then that would be a different story to me.
