   NEW VIDEO: When tech boosters claim that "A.I. will take over the world", they're trying to distract us from the real danger: that their dumbass companies are hyping tech that simply cannot do what they claim, then using it to screw us all over right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro130m-f_yk

     @adamconover Also, this crossed my feed:

     https://artificialcorner.com/youre-using-chatgpt-wrong-here-s-how-to-be-ahead-of-99-of-chatgpt-users-886a50dabc54

     It's an article on how to coach ChatGPT to give you correct answers. But if you know enough about what you're asking to coach it, why use it all? You obviously know enough to just go look the stuff up yourself.

     @adamconover Every time I see some AI chatbot, I think, "It's just a better Eliza." I expected more progress in 40 years.

     @adamconover It's okay to be afraid, Adam. It's not okay to hide truth behind ignorance and arrogance.

     @adamconover I've been loving the AI episodes of Factually! I completely agree with you on chatGPT etc, when I played with it for 5 minutes I was like wow this thing is scary and maybe it's coming for my job... But after playing with it for like 10 hours I'm like this thing is nifty but kinda stupid, ha ha ha job is safe :catjam:

     @adamconover people need to realize that we haven’t even made it to the Model T level. Still very much a roll your own AI from an incomplete and non standard parts bin to solve a niche problem.

     @everesco The scary part is when it's not smart enough to do your job, but it will do your job anyway.
