I love this mindset. It's so regressive, it's like watching old people form

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

for the "value" it provides (automated spam, new wave of deepfakes and tailor made propaganda, facilitating layoffs with genai as a failed replacement, and most importantly of all hyping openai stock) any amount of resources spent is a massive waste

Eh. I've built multiple apps in very short succession thanks to GPT. I don't really care if people think it's useful or not, I know it is.

Osrs already has free to play no?

It's an old name I had from Reddit :p. I kept it because some people recognized it

your post-gpt output seems to consist mostly of runescape bots?

While I appreciate how much you must have looked into my profile to find that, I was actually referring to the startup I worked at in South Korea for half a year. The impact I landed there paved the way for me to get my current job at Meta.

(RuneScape bots are something I write on the weekend to wind down from work)

Get better at profile stocking or maybe get chatgpt to do it for you haha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Who exactly is replenishing their storefront shelves in this conversation? And with profiles?

You should probably start asking ChatGPT to proofread your comments, too.

Nah the priority is figuring out how to get it to block people.

I was commenting more regarding your misuse of the word stocking in place of stalking, instead of about AI, but ya know... I pointed you in the right direction, and you still missed it, and that says enough.

You're being made obsolete by your own tool and you don't even realize it.

[–] Specal 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's so far off being able to make software, it's smart but will never be that smart... Well if it does we're all done for.

It's a fantastic tool for getting a layout for your code however.

[–] FlyingSquid -2 points 3 months ago (3 children)

How far off is it from being able to make code well enough that your immediate manager, with basic coding skills, can just do it? Because that's going to happen to a lot of people and soon.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So there's two arguments happening here; one that ChatGPT is so good that it'll replace us, and one that it's terrible and has no usecase. The truth is somewhere in the middle (but I do look forwards to the day it's the latter)

[–] FlyingSquid -2 points 3 months ago

I'm not saying that it's good enough to do that now.

[–] Specal 1 points 3 months ago

But another thing to consider as well, what's the point in this whole society thing if we're not working towards... Not forcing future generations to work.

We already know there isn't going to be enough work for everyone, the problem isn't AI it's politics.

[–] Specal 1 points 3 months ago

Considering I already make tools for people to automate parts of their jobs, and they still struggle. I am not worried at all about that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

The only developers made obsolete by IDEs coming around were those who continued to code in ed

[–] Specal -2 points 3 months ago

Mate you're babbling like an old man too. Spam has been automated for a long time. Deepfakes are indeed a problem I agree, but again Photoshop has existed for a long time. Tailor made propaganda has existed as long as civilization has existed. Companies in tech space hand their staff layoffs and hiring in cycles, AI was just the latest excuse. And OpenAI isn't even publicly traded.

Stop talking shit and touch grass.
