"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Usually, if you want them to stop pretending they're people, you need to specify it in the prompt/settings.
It's less than worthless to argue with them. If you catch an issue: call it out, correct it, and move on. They don't learn, they can't, and by doing this sort of back and forth you're treating it like you'd act towards a person you absolutely hate, rather than treating it like a machine or piece of software.
Edit: you don't want the stupid back and forth with a clanker, don't engage it in a stupid back and forth.
This is good advice but what if you see the CEO of these LLMs everytime you argue you them? It gets really hard not to insult it and keep going at it..
Then I'd suggest that you need a healthier outlet for your anger.
I can personally guarantee you that your rage will never reach the CEO, any of the executives, or really anyone capable of stopping or even slowing the slop machine menace. Corporate shit works such that at best, it's reviewed by one of the lowest people on the totem pole, then summarized by the person above them, then summarized by the person above that person, etc until it reaches wherever it'll die as the most milquetoast business safe bullshit possible. "Data shows a 5% uptick in user dissatisfaction with responses"
You aren't particularly hurting anyone, but if something upsets you to the point where you're pulling shit like this, just avoid it as much as possible. Don't use LLMs. Your blood pressure will thank you.
