BJW

As if your comprehension, yet your arrogance is stunning because it is massive and is only dwarfed by your propensity for being wrong.

Exactly. It’s not so cut and dry. Are they? You can never know until you experience their existence.

That’s too much for their tiny brains to handle.

Sorry, ‘h0tbeef’, I forgot that only you understand consciousness and only you know how it is defined. So only you know what qualifies, because of your superior understanding that no one else can possibly hope to have.

Of course, only humans are capable of being conscious, you’re absolutely right as always. You’re so clever, you should go reward yourself with a cookie.

Surely you know that under the hood we’re all just algorithms? Electrical impulses determining what we’re going to do before our own consciousness are aware of the impending decision.

You make the mistake of ascribing more importance to the “1s and 0s” of neuron activity we ourselves encompass, and imagining that a different arrangement of that exact same activity could not possibly yield a similar outcome. It’s like saying plants can’t be alive because they don’t have brains.

Uh huh… That makes you specifically qualified on the topic? Far more than myself, certainly, with my MSc in Machine Learning.

I’ve tried. They’re adamant against AI here. It’s not even worth the discussion. There’s an army of belligerent people here who have made up their minds that LLM are “stochastic parrots” and they’re convinced they understand exactly how they work. No one can tell them otherwise. Doesn’t even matter your credentials. They’re the experts here. If you argue, they’ll only belittle you.

Save yourself the frustration and heartache; just silently pity them.

People with metal teeth! They can bite through this, they can bite through that…

They can even bite through the main power conduit!

You did? I sincerely doubt Meta can compel AOC’s consent.

If they could, I’d be in that audience, too.

She’s not Republican, though, so her morals aren’t available for the highest bidder. The target audience you’re looking for is almost certainly Republican: they are used to their politicians being for sale, and even if they can’t acquire consent they’re of the “fuck your feelings” philosophy so it doesn’t actually matter if you have their consent.

Except when you can’t discern the difference between hand crafted and AI-generated, but they insist on calling it slop. Then it loses all meaning, and becomes clear it’s just antagonistic slang used by the prejudiced. Same with vibe, when they use it to mean any use of AI in coding.

In other words, there is slop and there are vibe coded projects, but the most offensive use those terms universally simply to be derogative and incendiary.

Yes, I am. I have a global pre-processor directive for all of my prompts, so it always includes “match existing code style, formatting and conventions.” The result is indistinguishable from hand written code. Thinking you can magically discern what was written by AI is delusional.

Yeah, just like more experienced artists can see the AI generated pixels.

This is just to let their prejudice flag fly. There’s no way to actually tell AI was used if the planning and assisting meta-data files aren’t committed to the repo. Nothing has truly changed. They might as well ban anyone who thinks about the color pink more then twice per day - it would be just as easy to enforce.

Same here. I think Lemmy is the den of vipers when it comes to hate and prejudice of AI.
