It's rude to show AI output to people

Is blindsight worth a read? It seemed interesting from the brief description.
Oh yes, I think Peter Watts is a great author. He's very good at tackling high concept ideas while also keeping it fun and interesting. Blindsight has a vampire in it in case there wasn't already enough going on for you
Unrelated to the topic at hand, I also highly recommend Starfish by him. It was the first novel of his I read. A dark, psychological thriller about a bunch of misfits working a deep sea geothermal power plant and how they cope (or don't) with the situation at hand.

Hey! ChatGPT can be creative if you ask it to roast fictional characters .. somewhat!
It's still not creative. It's just rehashing things it heard before. It's like if a comedian just stole the jokes from other comedians but changed the names of people. That's not creative, even if it's slightly different than what anyone's seen before.

Dude, the problem is you have no fucking idea if it’s wrong yourself, have nothing to back it up
That's not true. For starters you can evaluate it on its own merits to see if it makes logical sense - the AI can help solve a maths equation for you and you can see that it checks out without needing something else to back it up.
Second, agentic or multiple-step AI:s will dig out the sources for you so you can check them. It's just a smarter search engine with no ads and better focus on the question asked.
"With no ads"
Google used to have no ads.
And especially with how much it cost to run even today's LLMs, let alone tomorrow's ones... enshittification is only a matter of time. -
..without informed consent.
Here's a question regarding the informed consent part.
The article gives the example of asking whether the recipient wants the AI's answer shared.
"I had a helpful chat with ChatGPT about this topic some time ago and can share a log with you if you want."
Do you (I mean generally people reading this thread, not OP specifically) think Lemmy's spoiler formatting would count as informed consent if properly labeled as containing AI text? I mean, the user has to put in the effort to open the spoiler manually.

I really dont like "I asked AI and it said X" but then I realise that many people including myself will search google and then relay random shit that seems useful and I dont see how AI is much different. Maybe both are bad, I dont do either anymore. But I guess both are just a person trying to be helpful and at the end of the day thats a good thing.
And now googling will just result in "I asked AI and it said X", as the first thing you get is the AI summary shit. A friend of mine does this constantly, we are in a discord call and somebody asks a question, he will google it and repeat the AI slop back as a fact.
Half the time it's wrong.

Good question; that would qualify for me, yeh!

You should pretty much assume everything that a chatbot says could be false to a much higher degree than human written content, making it effectively useless for your stated purpose.
That has not been my experience.

I gave advice, advice rarely follows what you've experienced or people wouldn't feel the need to give it.

Hope you enjoy! It's getting referenced so much these days, I think I'm due for a reread myself.
