Have you ever considered that "well, it works on MY machine!" is perhaps not the most helpful response to people voicing frustration at something that is not working as they expect for them?

I don’t know where you picked up the idea that my intention was to be helpful. I’m only mirroring the intentionality behind whoever created this site; they obviously also had no intention of being helpful, as is the case with many discussions concerning AIs limitations.

I don't know where you picked up the idea that authors intentions was not to be helpful.

Satire cuts through the noise and makes people (most people) see the problem clearly (see political satire).

Ability to joke and to understand jokes is said to be a good proxy for IQ, idk, just sayin

I feel like I am teaching AIs for free here. But I feel like first sentence in funny (and I like to try to be funny) and some people need stuff to be said directly for them 'to get it', and I am bored on my flight and have internet, so here we are. If you read this far, go watch 'louis ck airplane wifi' clip. Now that I am thinking about it, I am amazed. You folks have a good day!

I’ve never used any of these tools. Please tell me that this is a grossly exaggerated parody, and that the tools don’t write like this, or do so many ridiculous things. For my sanity. (I am genuinely uncertain, though I presume it’s at least somewhat exaggerated.)

You probably should. It costs you about $20 and you will have an informed opinion on them.

> most people don’t use ai this way though How do they use it? Surely no one is just repeating the same prompt over and over (except as a Ralph loop perhaps, which is automated). I’m really struggling with the notion that most people just throw the same prompt repeatedly hoping it eventually works. Because that doesn’t sound like gambling. It sounds crazy (and frustrating). > and i still feel like the end-psychologic…

> How do they use it? as an example, i was using chatgpt a few weeks back to help me remember the name of a painting i’d seen about a decade ago. i could recall the general shape of the subject and that it was europeanish, but nothing else. after seven turns or so it finally got it, and honestly, the relief of finally remembering the name felt like, well, hitting a jackpot i’ve had a similar feeling of success after…

I have this thing with a wallpaper with a small island, a (tiny?) house, a pier and a boat. Probably somewhere in Canada or Scandinavia. Had it on my PC in the 90s and no model was able to help me with this.

The annoying there here isn't Claude, it's the "human". "It's not X but Y"-satire not intended.

It was annoying to be forced to send such dumb replies. Half the site isn't blue, why would I say that? What would "half the site" even mean?

Claude helpfully tells us we're dealing with a monstrosity of a codebase out of hell: "Seven components consume the token directly; another eleven reach it through aliases; three use it only in hover/focus state; and two appear to be accidental cross-role consumers" is such an insane codebase that the initial request was basically impossible to carry out.

Claude made that perfectly clear, yet the next prompt choice just ignores that fact. "Revert everything except Add to Cart. That is the whole task." this is impossible. It just explained why. You just chose to ignore that.

I haven't been professionally responsible for code since before AI started eating everything, and haven't touched AI in the meantime. Is this representative of the BS that everyone else here puts up with on a day-to-day basis? Did we collectively burn trillions of dollars for this?

Not at all.

You went off on a tangent and I responded. None of this is actually relevant to the topic of whether LLMs are “basically gambling”. > In what way was amazing no-traffic "a reward"? What system was rewarding you for what change in behaviour? What does this mean? Are you asking me to describe the dopamine system or are you implying that rewards have to be driven by some external system’s goal?

A reward implies it was given by something outside of your control. The lack of traffic wasn't a reward given to you, it's just a state of the highway.

how can an llm give me any reward? it's also just the state of the llm that was favorable due to the seed or w/e
