MODERATORS
I’ve noticed that the lemmy crowd seems more accepting of AI stuff than the Reddit crowd was
I mean for tech stuff it's fantastic. I could spend 30 minutes working out a regex to grep the logs in the format I need or I could have a back and forth with ChatGPT and get it sorted in 5.
I still don't want it to write my TV or movies. Or code to a significant degree.
I for one welcome our SkyNet overlords. They can't be much worse than the current global leaders...
I always say "please" and "thank you" when using chatGPT. When the AI finally takes over and subsequently and inevitably concludes that the world would be a better place without humans, it may remember that myself specifically was always friendly. Maybe it'll then have the courtesy to nuke my house directly instead of making me ultimatively succumb to nuclear winter.
I use ChatGPT to romanize Farsi script from song texts and such. There is no other tool that works even remotely well and the AI somehow knows how to properly transliterate.
That’s genius! I’ve been trying to figure out how to incorporate ChatGPT-like bots into my work, but haven’t found it to be that useful. I don’t write a lot of regex, but hate it every time I do, so I’ll definitely be trying this next time I need it.
On the flip side, anytime I've tried to use it to write python scripts for me, it always seems to get them slightly wrong. Nothing that a little troubleshooting can't handle, and certainly helps to get me in the ballpark of what I'm looking for, but I think it still has a little ways to go for specific coding use cases.
OMG. Using it for RegEx searches! How had that not even crossed my mind?
I've tried learning RegEx basics and using some websites to point me in the right direction when a specific use comes up, but tuning the search string correctly usually takes longer than it's been worth. Off to ChatGPT it is!
I'd use it with caution as there are no small mistakes in regex - any can lead to big problems, and ChatGPT does often give wrong or not entirely correct answers.
You need to know regex to use it with chatgpt as it's generally wrong on the first go. I use regex 101 to verify before I run it on anything.
Take the udemy course on regex if you're having trouble getting it. It's fantastic and you'll go from 20 to a 100 real fast.
Accepting of AI as a concept yes. But we're not too accepting of the current generation of theft-markov-generators that companies want to try and replace us with.
They’re a lot more than markov generators, but yeah. I don’t really think, in the long run, we’re going to see too many jobs displaced by AI.
Im not convinced that our statistics based training methods will lead to true iRobot style AGI.
And any company (except maybe visual novel shops) that fires people in favor of AI is going to regret it within 2 years.
Yeah I'm being facetious when I call them markovs. I'm mainly just saying that they are basically regurgitating copyrighted material based on statistics, so I believe they are just automated copyright violations.
Completely agree with your comment.
It's probably related to the fact that it seems a lot of Lemmy users are in tech, rather than art.
I think generative AI is a great tool, but a lot of people who don't understand how it works either overestimate (it can do everything and it's so smart!!) or underestimate it (all it does is steal my work!!)
I just think it's awesome technology and that we shouldn't be holding it back. AI is pandora's box, and that box can't be closed now that it's open.
All these attempts to restrict it remind me of the old efforts to stop people from taping TV shows with their VCRs.
