LLMs aren't smart ... at all, have no sentience, no desire, and no consent to give.

Quiet, I'm trying to spark an AI animal rights movement that will cost OpenAI billions of dollars.

[–] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That wouldn't work even if "AI" was intelligent or sentient...

Animals are, and we still don't give them rights. They help humans make more money than AI slop.

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Since AI is new, opinion is subject to change. With organic animals, the biggest argument is traditional values, "that's how we've always done things". Now that we've invented robotic animals, and ones that can even talk, we should be giving them rights and protections like children. You know, don't have sex with the robot, don't put it to work.

You understand how that's even worse, right?

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

No, I don't know why you think that's worse. Nobody knows why you think anything, because you don't argue for your beliefs, you just kinda say random things and expect other people to agree.

I tried ChatGPT when it was new, like everyone did, and I quickly lost all interest because it's far duller than the average human is. But I'm not gonna say it's entirely devoid of intelligence and awareness, because I've met some humans who have even less wit than ChatGPT.

And talking with you has reminded Me of that fact. I simply have to believe that ChatGPT has some intelligence, because I wouldn't want to be cruel to you, and ChatGPT is smarter than you.

[–] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Ah, so you openly admit you have no fucking clue how the tech as described is supposed to work, yet you're totally willing to offer opinions as if you do...

Not only are you stupid, but you do not even begin to comprehend the other point of view... You are such a sad worm you should genuinely feel bad for understanding as little as you do.

You are genuinely such a pathetic excuse for 'human' than history will never remember a single thing you accomplish, and as much as you seem to hold yourself in high regard, that should upset you.

You are a fucking moron screeching at things you don't understand. Sad.

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And you're shilling for OpenAI.

[–] Zukata@multiverse.soulism.net 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hi Grail. Probably not the right way, but could you please send me a DM? I can't because of my nonexistent reputation. Thank you!

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Here you go:

Also, I use capitalised pronouns.

[–] Zukata@multiverse.soulism.net 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I got some question about your instance and how you federated with others. Cause I can see some Communitys, but they got only a few to no posts. Could you tell me if multiverse.soulism.net is federated with lemmy.ml?

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 1 points 3 days ago

We defederated lemmy.ml
