I hate chatbots because they are an affront to personhood, language, and the very concept of meaning. You hate chatbots because some of the manufacturers donate to a political party in a failing empire.
We are allies
People pay for GPT?!
Wait, you guys actually pay for stuff?
Sorry. I can’t do that. I can’t cancel my subscription to Chatgpt. I just can’t…
…because I never subscribed in the first place.
Can’t cancel a subscription I never had.
Unfortunately I can’t help with the acceleration. Can’t cancel a subscription that never started
Break into someones house and cancel theirs.
Why not break into the CEO’s house and unsubscribe them from their life?
Because that’s murder, and contrary to a health insurance company denying claims, Sam Altman just sucks, but hasn’t killed anyone (yet) (that we know of).
Sam Altman is an enemy of humanity and it would self defense to kill him.
I’m not gonna do it because that’s a hassle, but if someone did I wouldn’t condemn them.
Exhausting energy, fresh water, and giving an excuse to corporations to strip their job, the mean of living, from employees surely isn’t murdering.
Exactly: it isn’t murdering. Even if all assumptions above were true, it isn’t murdering.
Well…I’m not saying that’s a bad idea, per se, but…if you are going to do this, make it blatently obvious it was a break-in.
Then, put several rubber duckies in the water tank of their toilets. Big enough that they won’t fit in the hole.
See, it’s the type of thing that they won’t discover for months/years. They’ll long have forgotten about the break-in, and won’t connect the dots there.
It will just be something that confuses the fuck out of them for the rest of their lives.
Dude wtf did you just do… my subscription isn’t active any more after reading your comment…
Can we get some citations besides an image someone posted? I did a cursory look and couldn’t substantiate any of this. The only real news is Nvidia saying their last round of investments in openAI and Anthropic would probably be their last.
Genuine question. I know it’s fun to hate on AI slop and openAI in general, but there are enough real facts, don’t feel like we need any made up ones to win folks over
Ahh man, I never once used chatgpt cause I have a brain. I wish I could cancel it just to be one more person to cancel, but I knew it was a scam when it came out years ago.
I tried it a few times because a coworker uses it for everything and insisted I try it.
Once I asked to compare some products we use at work, and it summarized their advertising campaigns such that everything was the best, brightest, fastest, and most excellent at everything.
Next I asked it for some epidemiological data…which it successfully gave me from 1927
LLMs like ChatGPT do have their uses and I don’t think we can say they’re absolutely scams. As someone living in another country, they help me proofread my comms and documents so I don’t have any spelling mistakes or weird grammar in them.
Likewise, for coding they can find logical mistakes quickly and are usually good at translating from one programming language to another. So I can see their value as assistants of sorts, but the new hype where all human labour is being replaced by AI makes it very difficult to support these enterprises.
I draw the hard line at using AI to generate content/writing/software that other people will be exposed to without being explicitly warned and informed first. I hope you’re slapping GENERATED/MADE/EDITED USING AI headers and watermarks on all that stuff.
I think it’s probably fine as long as you wrote that stuff yourself and simply had AI parse through it to check or correct anything you might have missed, which is how I mostly use it.
For code generation, AI is still far too unreliable, and I don’t like the tone it gives to my emails because it doesn’t sound like me. So I just have it correct my weird grammar or spelling sometimes.
they can find logical mistakes quickly
I just had a lovely afternoon of trying to unwind a mess someone vibe coded their way into with Opus 4.6… Which I have to mention model and version every time or else someone comes along and says ‘Well Opus 4.6 won’t make mistakes!’ when it absolutely does and I’m so tired of people overstating how good Opus is.
So far they create the mistakes quickly and when it happens they generally are at a loss on what to do, and it becomes messy because the vibe coder went way past the point of failure and now I have to extricate what the hell they were doing…
Though I will say today the ‘review my commit’ feature did catch one issue legitimately, though it flagged about 5 others erroneously and in a couple of cases really really wanted to change correct code to do exactly the wrong thing for some reason.
The codegen can be useful if watched carefully, but things will happen like after porting dozens of functions mostly fine to a replacement library, for some reason it decided to delete a function and replace it with an if/else chain of every test case and hard code passing results rather than porting the function to the new library (which upon manual inspection was just a two line change)…
Which is why you use it simply as a proofreader and then evaluate the mistakes it brought up. You don’t blindly trust it or worse, use it to write everything from scratch, because then you’re just going to deliver shit code.
I see people hating on AI for things that are far more the fault of how people use it than of the technology itself. AI is extremely over hyped, but if you understand it for what it is, it’s a fairly useful tool.
Or cancel sub and then use the absolute shit out of the free model to burn their runway faster
1987: AI products have generally been a disappointment
40 years later…
When you use ChatGPT you chat with Trump!
Cancel your subscription today!
Why does ghost Hitler look so pissed in this. Like is the dude listening to Kidd Rock or something?
I always figured it was supposed to be a mean ol’ Hitler face to show he’s a baddie. He could at least show appreciation for the ride!
Imagine paying money to subscribe to an AI company.
Never underestimate stupid people with money.
My only regret is I never had a chatgpt subscription in the first place to cancel.
That’s a win, not a regret 👍
I will start using it more to waste bandwidth with Yuri Fanfics of Sam and Trump
Me too. Sorry guys. The only thing I could cancel is my Ollama free tier account but i don’t think that’s going to make much of an impact.
Yeah, I appreciate the duck duck go ai chatbots, since they are free and don’t have the limit that using chatgpt directly for free had. Plus you can select other models (haven’t even been using chatgpt).
I didn’t either but would still use the free one from time to time.
Easy enough to switch to Gemini or Claude or whatever.
If we weren’t already boiling the oceans, I’d say that you should continue to use the free tier. A lot. Drive up their costs as much as possible without giving them any revenue by constantly asking it to generate useless crap.
No, that’s a bad idea. They literally make up their economics. They don’t care abo about money, because they’ll just keep borrowing more and more of it. Just look at their behaviour over the last three years.
What they really want is usage go up and in turn their power they have over their userbase. You using their product to generate useless crap at best just waists power and water. At worst the AI will give a a psychological complex.
It won’t hurt their bottom line, trust me. You can only loose.
It also drives up market share, which is worth valuation to investors.
Yeah this is all Dot Com 1.0 bubble economics bullshit. How soon they forget.
And data collection. People think they’re good if they just don’t give it personal info but you’re definitely being fingerprinted and tracked. If they haven’t already they’ll eventually partner with meta or google (in the case of Gemini that’s obviously already done) to match any fingerprinting to much denser profiling. Plus they’re designed in a way to encourage you to let your guard down and talk casually, which disarms you and makes it more likely you mention identifying info they can’t determine from IP and fingerprinting.
OpenAI has already added advertisement so this is definitely occurring. No one buys ads in this day and age without robust audience targeting
Well, continual usage doesn’t really help with fingerprinting. They already got that.
I’d say, if you’re going to do this (you shouldn’t) the prompts should be fed by another LLM, and just let them create garbage together. I’m sure OpenAI likely uses user prompts for training, so this fucks up their training data.
How do I insert a “I’m doing my part” Starship Troopers gif here?
Why would I pay for a babbling idiot?
That’s free every where, at any time.
It’s me, okay? I’m the babbling idiot, don’t need another
