@kthy @jacqueline okay good for you.

@AngelaScholder @jacqueline ... a strange way to describe people experimenting with a new and groundbreaking technology, ofcourse those people share their experiences, that is in a way promoting but that goes for any IT people are enthusiastic about. And it's complete nonsense to call an LLM a reflection of my own ego if i use it in a RAG configuration for analysing large numbers of documents...

[erikjonker@mastodon.social]

@AngelaScholder @jacqueline ...playing and experimenting is a good way to learn about (new) technology, it is also very human, the way we develop, find out what works and what does not.

@ErikJonker @jacqueline Well, with the ways I've seen these sites reacting to people, even just praising the writing and thoughts of people about articles they uploaded/feeded where it later came out the AI somehow couldn't read the article and just hallucinated superlatives.
Basically, an AI working like that is basically only geared to work using people their ego.
That in the end will result in the AI mirroring the ego of the 'user' (user, or abused is an interesting discussion).
And, as >2

@ErikJonker @jacqueline 2) people often are very easy influenced, they will just as much become like their chatbot as well as the clatbot reflecting on them.

The worst outcome of that is that the people basically become zombies of their chatbot.
Obviously we are all so strong that this will never happen to us...

@ErikJonker @AngelaScholder hi erik. any thoughts on the article linked here? https://chaos.social/@jacqueline/116089817252419868

@jacqueline @AngelaScholder terrible and completely wrong way of using this technology, by both companies and the people that use it... BigTech is not responsible in how they employ this technology. But that is not the same that the technology in itself is evil.

@jacqueline I believe it is way more common than we know - something about this stuff hammers people's brains in a way that we (society) are not prepared for. And these are folks who should know better! They work with computers, they know it's just matrix multiplication in there! But knowing about it, I guess, provides to immunization to being taken in by its sycophantic mirroring language.

@jacqueline r/MyBoyfriendIsAI is a cautionary tale, but I have a friend mentioned seeing a girl on the bus asking ChatGPT to give her a pep talk before going on a date. Just, everyday random people, getting taken in by the illusion that the computer is giving of being more than a computer. I truly think we're not aware of how many people are being swayed by all this. It's gotta be more insidious than just the worst cases we see in the news.
