  • That was an integral part to this whole thing, you always fact check the ai. I said this in both of my comments.

    I totally get preferring textbooks or videos though. I just find that the ai saves me time since i can ask specific questions about things, and it often gives me concise information that i understand more quickly.



  • Yeah, that is one thing it can do, but it’s not the only thing it does. I’m not sure how to get my point across well but, just because it gives you the wrong answer 25% of the time doesn’t mean it’s useless. In whatever you ask it to do, it often gets you most of the way there as long as you know how to correct it or check its work. The ability to ask specific or follow-up questions when learning something makes it invaluable as a learning tool (if you’re teaching yourself that is (ie. If you’re a university student)). It’s also very useful when brainstorming ideas or helping you approach a problem from a different angle. I can also ask it questions that are far more specific than what a search engine would get me.

    It really comes down to if the human operator knows how (and when) to use it properly.


  • I disagree, because unlike those things, ai actually has a use case. It needs a human supervisor and it isn’t always faster, but chat gpt has been the best educational resource I’ve ever had next to YouTube. It’s also decent at pumping out a lot of lazy work and writing so i don’t have to, or helping me break down a task into smaller parts. As long as you’re not expecting it to solve all your problems for you, it’s an amazing tool.

    People said the same things about 3d printing and yeah, while it can’t create literally everything at industrial scale, and it’s not going to see much consumer use, it has found a place in certain applications like prototyping and small scale production.


  • You’d also be smart enough to work around it. You’d be able to strategically convince the right people to implement it, and convince enough people to support it for it to go through, then the remaining detractors are either propagandized into liking it (like how business and governments do things now, but much better), or they remain in a small minority who will never change their minds, but aren’t important because nobody else cares.

    Or you could use your superintelligence to make make an ai that makes people okay with it in the same way the hypothetical earworm ai does https://youtu.be/-JlxuQ7tPgQ?si=yCSfctxpmaOdbnTd

    Or there’s some way that none of us could possibly come up with that would simultaneously work perfectly and is completely ethical. There’s no way to say, but saying it definitely won’t ever work i think is just due to a lack of imagination in this case.
