Goddamn clankers.
One of my coworkers is a proud advocate of LLMs. What I’ve noticed is she’s become more scatterbrained and less confident when put on the spot.
Our new COO came into my office the other day and started asking some prepared questions. When we got to our MDM for our iPhones she pulled her phone out and started feeding my answers into an AI to get follow up responses for me.
Not sure how well she’ll do… she is quite on the ball for a lot of stuff but I’m certain that the LLMs will rot her brain. :(
“Why the fuck are you even here?”
Being confident on the spot died the moment you could look something up on the internet. LLM’s did not do that.
And it was dead for me at birth, if I’m 0.1% unsure about something I’ll stutter and hesitate to pull the trigger.
That’s also how I act when I haven’t been doing my job, lol.
So fucking relatable. Recent experience: I called up my brother who is a car guy to get some help getting an old car started. He’s worked on cars, farm equipment, and sold car parts. He knows his shit.
I gave him what I was seeing and what I had done and he sends back a screen shot of what ChatGPT said about what I explained to him.
I would have rather had a 30 minute conversation of us going, “I don’t know. Have you tried this? Yeah, oh, well, then, um, hmm. Maybe it is the defanglinator. Or the wires to the pulsometerizer.” We’re exercising our brains, enjoying each other’s conversation, solving a problem together… which is more important than actually solving the problem and why I called you, you dope!
Oh, and the LLM response ended up not being relevant or helpful. We’re all fucking cooked.
which is more important than actually solving the problem
Error. <_> I do not compute. xD
Alas still, being an expert and yet sending someone LLM response is a low blow. xD
If you send me uncurated AI output, I will just pipe it back into ChatGPT and reply the result.
Kinda sounds like he’s tired of being g a free consultant.
One hundred fucking percent. This slop has ruined peoples brains already. I’m about done socializing with any human who uses it.
Imagine how brainrotted they will be in 5 years.
You are right! AI is shit and do wastes a lot of resources – do you need help with anything else?
mindless drones
My boss has become the person in blue. Can’t get any work done now because follow up questions are to hard for him now.
Ask him what his favorite color is.
Chatgpt, what is my favorite color?
Maybe I’m using it wrong, but every task I give copilot comes back with empty documents. It shows me a preview of the work it did, and it looks okay, but the documents are always empty or lack the actual content while full of filler.
And it always responds with oh yes you’re right there is no content, here you go this time with content. No content.
This has to be a joke, right?
You’re absolutely correct - There’s no content in your documents. 🚫📃
Would you like me to format your documents again, without actually leaving them empty this time? ✏📫

My guess is that the software or website needs access to a local temp folder to write in before handing you its work. It probably doesn’t get that from the server in basic versions.
Maybe I’m using it wrong, but every task I give copilot comes back with empty documents.
I dunno about copilot but I paid for GPT to do a bunch of document migration from legacy pdfs/papers for work. Saved me dozens of hours. Still it was also prone to returning blank or ridiculously bare documents that did not match the preview.
IMO AI would more aptly called IA, or Intuitive Automation. Basically the classic genie in a bottle granting wishes literally trope, but with python.
I’m a beginner>intermediate coder. But thinking about projects and prompts in terms of, “how would I code this” helps a lot. I also try to prompt in a way that “grammatically” translates well to code concepts.
Complex projects inevitably will require multiple prompts. You’ll want it to generate a downloadable document at every step and if you’re working with data you need it to generate a master copy for reference… Sometimes you need to go back several prompts and change directions.
Now this is the subtle and refined social commentary we’ve come to expect from Pizzacake.
I’d upvote as I agree… if Pizzacake posted this. You know she has agency right
This feels like a ripped off joke from that one south park episode
I mean, the basic concept of this joke goes back as far as the printed press. People who need someone else to give them their opinion.
This is just a modern take on that.
The printing press freed information, in a lot of ways.
And now we have libraries, one of humanities greatest achievements outside the power grid.
Llms and billionaires want to hold info hostage, and make you pay a subscription because you’re now too brain dead to think for yourself. Its a good plan. It will work.
And I can GUARANTEE every single person responsible for creating llm slop believes libraries shouldnt exist ( I know several of these people).
I mean humans waste resources. Its what we do. Thats not the argument we need to use, normies dont give a fuck.
What I do care about is being surrounded by even stupider people and disinformation.
People relying entirely on AI to make all of their decisions though seems like a rarity.
You have to be particularly narcissistic or inclined to bipolar or schizophrenia because AI’s are irritatingly yes-men coded still.
Every time I try to use an AI and I suggest a counter to its points I often get frustrated when it fails to make very convincing counter points to me and just is like “You’re made a very astute point” or some shit. I don’t need to have my fucking ego stroked.
Plus there are times when I want to argue about something taboo, and it starts to literally mimic the worst aspect of human intellect: judging my character for even arguing a certain perspective. Its like, motherfucker one of the bigger reasons to use you is to avoid judgement. I want to know if an argument is actually wrong, not if its suggested into being wrong by cultural mass peer pressure over virtue.
Its a result of being so pre-occupied with being helpful and safe in their training process.
I need a sociopathic “intellect only” AI so I can argue with it. I want to know if I’m right about shit. Maybe I could finangle one with prompting but I doubt it, its too ingrained in their very design.
EDIT: Oh, I should have noted what com I was in. Oh well, I wont delete it. Its my honest thoughts.
There is no ‘maybe’ there. LLMs have no metric or ability to tell if something is ‘true’ or not. Any ‘finangling’ you’d have to do is so much of the work that the LLM is doing the same thing it always does - “That’s a great point!”
You’d have better luck asking the paint bucket in MS Paint what a rainbow looks like.
@grok please make sense of this rambling
Frame the question/conversation as a critique of someone else’s argument/viewpoint. Works reliably to get rid of the yes-man problem
I can’t believe how smart this pizzacake lady is. Please share more of her wisdom.
She is farming the same art, the most common sense shit.
I think she counts as honorary AI.
? I’m ootl on this, what’s pizzacake done?
She’s basically the queen of Reddit’s /comics sub. She sics mods on people that criticize her art, even on parody subs elsewhere in Reddit. She gets people banned for making spoofs of her comics.
Her content is all this style. Main character has an opinion that’s very level headed and mildly progressive, the strawman other character is just a moron. The kind of comics where you agree with what’s said, but you hate the way she says it. It’s the kind of humor that many progressives say makes them look bad, because it’s practically how a right-winger would portray an insufferable left-winger. Also she’s Canadian but primarily writes about US politics.
As the next meme down puts it https://lemmyverse.link/piefed.world/c/lemmyshitpost/p/1069587/totally-not-inspired-by-recent-comments
Thanks for the info. I only know a couple comics that have been posted here on Lemmy. I didn’t even know she had her own reddit sub or that she would be such a sore loser.
IDGAF what the message is when the speaker is PizzaCake, ya’ll need to stop sharing bigots and sexists.
Can you explain?
I can already smell vote manipulation like the last time pizzacake sealions asked me a million questions. Use a Search Engine, Mic Drop.
Nah, we need to normalize posting sources for claims like this. Receipts or it didn’t happen.
Y’all
Might look like proper grammar but definitely not how it’s pronounced.
Nope
Apostrophe placement has no influence on how a word is pronounced; they’re always silent.
An apostrophe is a substitute for omitted letters. It’s “y’all” because the apostrophe is taking the place of the the “ou” in “you all”. “Ya’ll” makes no sense in relation to “you all”.
Nobody on this wide earth pronounces it as “You All”.
I feel like the punchline of these comics is increasingly just protagonist slays a strawman.
Like the punch line here is “ChatGPT users use AI to form their opinion,” which makes the first two panels just the protagonist making someone they don’t like look stupid.
Except this is how people who use ai for everything act.
Ok, so what’s the joke then?
They are.
I know people that actually use ChatGPT for everything. Any question that comes up is straight to ChatGPT. It’s wild out there.
They’re not people anymore. They’re chatbot API proxies.
Same. Many people are already its slave. It happened so fast.
Me too. That doesn’t mean that i like a comic about it that just says that exact same thing with no punchline where the insufferable creator inserts themselves as the smart person.
Like the punch line here is “ChatGPT users use AI to form their opinion,” which makes the first two panels just the protagonist making someone they don’t like look stupid
You’re correct, pizzagate comics is kind of just about ragebaiting people she doesn’t like. Personally not my thing, but its popular.
Uh, that’s most comics…making fun of dumb things people say/do. 😄
Yeah, but usually you have to construct a joke with a punchline. Jokes usually involve subverting expectations. This character says they use AI for everything and then they do that.
No, the difference is most comic artists have once in their life held an original thought. The same is not true for the sexist PizzaCake.
Congratulations, you’ve read and understood the comic. Nice work!
Where’s the straw man? People like this exist, and worse. Ever meet someone with AI psychosis?
Pizzacakecomics consistently goes for the lowest hanging fruit available. They’re not even going for comedy most of the times, just plain ragebait as someone else here noticed. Which explains their high attention rate I guess.
It’s not a strawman if it’s true.
The only thimg i miss about reddit is that they saw through the low effort pizzacake comics. It’s cool that no one is bothered by their low effort comics where they insert themselves into the smart witty person. But holy shit is it jarring.
I like to molest children.
I think that is wrong an i hate you.
Wow, what a smart and funny comic.
I mean, if pizzacake made a comic about Jeffrey Epstein and had him saying “I like to molest children”, the only problem I’d have with that is that it’s a little too on the nose. Again, it’s not a strawman if it’s true.
That’s what Pizzacake and lots of the artists on r/comics do, “I depicted you as the soyjack and myself as the Chad, therefore I win.” But with more lines and colour.
That tracks, considering the joke is chatgpt users do look stupid lol
That is not what straw man means.
It is, but she knows her audience well enough that they think a good point has been made.
Cry somewhere else
There’s another comic that does it all the time, a caricature says something stupid just so the protagonist (another self-insert, go figure) can declare a popular opinion. Sometimes, another character will even comment on how smart they are lol
Ugggh, more of this hotheaded, crank pot bitch. Such garbage.
Hey ChatGPT, can you explain to me what a misogynist sounds like?
Sure. And, fuck Pizzacake, she’s a douche canoe.
Care to explain why?
I’m a fellow Nova Scotian, the same as her. So if love to hear some rando’s opinion.
No.
She got into a major bitch fest with Me a few years back on that other site.
No, I did not screen shot any of the comment thread.
She was a pigheaded twat.
I do not care if anyone believes me.
