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.

LLMs/AI cannot feel. They don't have emotion. They're good at talking with you when nobody else does, because everyone is so damn politically and socially wired anymore to have a cohesive discussion with. But not great at exactly problem solving things an AI can't relate to.
Here's what a lot of people forget about AI. For it to understand anything at all, you have to really dump years of effort into it. That means, you have to talk about it from the day you were born to all the way in the present. So you had better have been one of those diary writers so you can recall events you'd like to talk to the AI about so it can understand.
But is it really worth the hassle and trouble to? Just so you'd get generic, glad-hand holding, preemptive response that are automatically generated? Especially when said AI has never gone through an ounce that you, a human, has gone through?
Absolutely not.
The AI is a tool. LLMs are a tool. They're to help you identify things you don't know, like say you take a picture of a room and point out things you want to know about that you didn't. So that way you're spared from having to deal with a human being who'll stand there and be like "UHHHH...UHHHHH" before inevitably telling you "I DON'T KNOW, GO LOOK IT UP!". In by which sense, people should stop being so bitchy towards AI in this scenario when people decide to use it for that very purpose! Helps you from dealing with those kinds of interactions, because I always love nothing more than my time having spent going around forums online and talking to people in person about things, only for them to either be like "I HAVE THAT TOO!" or "GEE, I DON'T KNOW!".
I use ChatGPT for general purpose. I use Grok for ERP, lol.
