MODERATORS
you're comparing a data centre to radium?
I'm comparing LLM based "AI" to radium. The data centres are just the paint factories in this analogy.
i guess im screwed then, what will happen to me?
i use ai like 10 times a day
Depends. If you are offloading your critical thinking that will decline, if your offloading your humour then that will decline. Use AI in moderation and check results produced before sending on to someone else.
A guy walks into a pub and sees a dog sitting at the bar playing poker with three other blokes. He's absolutely floored, taps the nearest bloke on the shoulder and says, "Mate, I've never seen anything like this — a dog playing poker!"
The bloke shrugs and says, "Yeah, he's alright, but don't get too excited. Whenever he gets a good hand, his tail starts wagging."
i duno i thought that was alright, funnier than anything I could have thought up :X
I laughed
You're going to be absolutely floored if you Google "funny jokes" then
I was already on the shitter doing that
Just like radium has (a very few) legitimate uses, so do LLMs. Stop using them as a thought/research replacement and use it sparingly. Natural language processing for instance is a good use. But it should never be feeding that into another LLM to action the speech it has interpreted and taking all agency away from humans IMHO.
