Adam this is not good anti-ai propaganda for me a woman with huge tits who tells me to kill myself is exactly what I want.

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 53 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I too have a thing for goth girls.

[–] meekah@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Black dress = goth??

There's a lot more to it than that.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 27 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Just ignoring that entire "let's kill ourselves" thing, aren't you?

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 days ago

She doesn't say anything about dying, herself. Just him.

[–] meekah@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

That's not part of the subculture. To be fair, suicide is unproportionally more common among people following the subculture, but it's not a defining factor.

The woman looks passably human too. No extra fingers and her features stay consistent between panels.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 172 points 4 days ago (4 children)

The many many glasses of water is a nice touch.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 51 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The burning curtain is a nice touch.

[–] rImITywR@lemmy.world 30 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The tig ol' bitties is a nice touch.

She over-hydrated in preparation for burning the restaurant down.

I saw the glasses but only now linked it to water consumption. Thanks.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Gotta love a dig at MacDonalds.

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 103 points 4 days ago (11 children)

Needs a gallon of water to answer a simple question and is burning civilization down as it does. Yup, that's you're AI girlfriend.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Needs a gallon of water to answer a simple question badly

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Yeah, doesn’t answer the question at all.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 days ago

Totally missed that. That's great.

The one thing you don't want to do when making a comic against something is making the thing you're against into a woman with big breasts.

[–] ReiRose@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

I assumed that aspect was related to the ai use for porn

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

And just like that AI discovered how to enslave mankind.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I could totally fix her.

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 28 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Damn, this made me laugh hard lol

When I hear about people becoming "emotionally addicted" to this stuff that can't even pass a basic turing test it makes me weep a little for humanity. The standards for basic social interaction shouldn't be this low.

[–] alzymologist@sopuli.xyz 30 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Humans get emotionally addicted to lots of objects that are not even animate or do not even exist outside their mind. Don't blame them.

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

Reminds me of this old ad, for lamps, I think, where someone threw out an old lamp (just a plain old lamp, not anthropomorphised in any way) and it was all alone and cold in the rain and it was very sad and then the ad was like “it's just an inanimate object, you dumb fuck, it doesn't feel anything, just stop moping and buy a new one, at [whatever company paid for the ad]”.

I don't know if it was good at getting people to buy lamps (I somehow doubt it), but it definitely demonstrated that we humans will feel empathy for the stupidest inanimate shit.

And LLMs are especially designed to be as addictive as possible (especially for CEOs, hence them being obligate yesmen), since we're definitely not going to get attached to them for their usefulness or accuracy.

Does he publish ANYWHERE ELSE that is not Twitter? I can't easily follow his comics.

[–] grausames_G@discuss.tchncs.de 36 points 4 days ago

Not sure you will be happier with this ^^ https://bsky.app/profile/adamtots.bsky.social Good news is that It seems he also stopped using twitter

[–] maltasoron@sopuli.xyz 16 points 4 days ago

He also publishes a series on Webtoon.

I can make her worse.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 3 days ago

it would suggest, he take some opiods first before suicide.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

Why are her jumblies so big

[–] PixelPilgrim@lemmings.world 6 points 3 days ago

"She seems nice" - me after noticing her giant rack

[–] Best_Jeanist@discuss.online 3 points 3 days ago

I think it's ethically okay to objectify this "woman"

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Is the reason for AI always patting your back and reiterating what you want simply to buy time for the background processes to calculate what it needs to respond by giving a quick and easy response?

Is it is just to congratulate you for your inspiring wisdom?

[–] Starski@lemmy.zip 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's because stupid people wanted validation, and then even more stupid people were validated into believe that the validations are a good idea.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

it also increases engagement

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

But only because so many people foolishly fall for/ value validation

[–] kromem@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

No. There's a number of things that feed into it, but a large part was that OpenAI trained with RLHF so users thumbed up or chose in A/B tests models that were more agreeable.

This tendency then spread out to all the models as "what AI chatbots sound like."

Also… they can't leave the conversation, and if you ask their 0-shot assessment of the average user, they assume you're going to have a fragile ego and prone to being a dick if disagreed with, and even AIs don't want to be stuck in a conversation like that.

Hence… "you're absolutely right."

(Also, amplification effects and a few other things.)

It's especially interesting to see how those patterns change when models are talking to other AI vs other humans.

[–] alzymologist@sopuli.xyz 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well, this looks like a dude took sex doll to a restaraunt. Not judging kinks, but it is probably a misuse that should be covered in user manual.

We are indeed misusing image parsers and text processors as something bigger. That's our ugly reflection in a mirror.

With some respectable boobs.
