Well yeah, what I said was

It’s useful in some contexts while being hot garbage in others. Learning to use it for what it’s good at is fine, trying to shoehorn it into everything is stupid.

Same as relying on it for everything. That’s not adapting, that’s being easily replaceable.

Use it for the few things it’s good at, and ignore their false promises on the rest.

This post was about tech companies trying to shove LLM based “AI” into everything. I’m looking forward to when investors move on from this one specific type of algorithm and we can get back to innovating properly.

Well duh

How does that add anything to the points above

Seems like the key word in the post was “mass implementation”

So they could have held paint drying Mondays instead, with the same overall effect

“Every single Monday was called Paint Dry Monday” Vaughan said, with his mandate for staff that they could only watch paint dry. “You couldn’t have customer calls; you couldn’t work on budgets; you had to only watch paint dry.” He said this happened across the board, not just for tech workers, but also for sales, marketing, and everybody else at IgniteTech. “That culture needed to be built. That was the key.”

I always saw the rules against Wikipedia to be around citations (and accuracy in the early years), rather than it harming learning. It’s not that different from other tertiary sources like textbooks or encyclopedias. It’s good for learning a topic and the interacting pieces, but you need to then search for primary/secondary sources relevant to the topic you are writing about.

Generative AI however

• is a text prediction engine that often generates made up info, and then students learn things wrong
• does the writing for the students, so they don’t actually have to read or understand anything

Yup, it looks like generative AI + image editing after the fact

Image generators have trouble juggling multiple colors and patterns on clothing. It would be a weird stylistic choice to create that effect with image edits alone

Also if you look closely, she has 3 arms. Two arms holding the phone up, one arm holding a soccer ball against her body?

Looks like one user has been doing the majority of the posting, they might not know that people have issues with imgur / of better options

TIL 😮

Oh is that what it was 😄

There’s an account that I haven’t used in years, which gets a “Are you trying to log in?” email every few months.

I got 6 emails at once the other day, figured it was the same junk

What is this other template called?

TIL, and also ☹️
