    These models don’t get single characters but rather tokens repenting multiple characters. While I also don’t like the “AI” hype, this image is also very 1 dimensional hate and misreprents the usefulness of these models by picking one adversarial example.

    Today ChatGPT saved me a fuckton of time by linking me to the exact issue on gitlab that discussed the issue I was having (full system freezes using Bottles installed with flatpak on Arch). This was the URL it came up with after explaining the problem and giving it the first error I found in dmesg: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/linux/-/issues/110

    This issue is one day old. When I looked this shit up myself I found exactly nothing useful on both DDG or Google. After this ChatGPT also provided me with the information that the LTS kernel exists and how to install it. Obviously I verified that stuff before using it, because these LLMs have their limits. Now my system works again, and figuring this out myself would’ve cost me hours because I had no idea what broke. Was it flatpak, Nvidia, the kernel, Wayland, Bottles, some random shit I changed in a config file 2 years ago? Well thanks to ChatGPT I know.

    They’re tools, and they can provide new insights that can be very useful. Just don’t expect them to always tell the truth, or to actually be human-like

      I think the point of the post is to call out exactly that: people preaching AI as replacing humans
