I am just complaining. my professors are constantly like, “you should use AI to research this! ask AI how to do this in excel! employers are going to expect you to use AI to work more efficiently!”

they at least acknowledge that it’s inaccurate and you always have to check it, but there’s no mention of ethical implications, environmental impacts, the danger this bubble poses to the economy.

I hate it so, so much. I had a professor tell me that I can write, which is good, so I can prompt AI, which I didn’t find especially flattering as far as “compliments” go.

I’m just so tired of it, guys.

    Honestly, I trust any random person I run across on the street as far less trustworthy than even the smallest of AIs

    You realize that AI is trained on people, right? And the technology is only as capable as its training data, it’s still not able to extrapolate from incomplete or flawed data to produce anything original.

    By its very nature, the current generation of AI can at best only ever be as smart or as trustworthy as its training data — and it rarely ever performs at that theoretical ‘best’.
