This was obviously a fictional thanksgiving dinner. Nobody is this geezed up about AI assistance.

Nobody in your circle of friends/acquaintances perhaps.

You're okay with sitting at the rear seat of a car while it drives you around the city though.

This will only get worse imo - regardless of how Sam is perceived - there is anger against AI which is growing amongst the people. I think we as a society need to stop and have the conversation and be more thoughtful about how we integrate AI with everything.

I don't think this is possible yet, because many people refuse to think AI would be eventually better than us at practically anything (at least anything virtual), they keep talking about what's "current" while I think it's completely irrelevant for that discussion, people need to assume extreme intelligence and orchestration tools (and robots) will be there, worldwide, it's a *fact*, not just a maybe.

Your "fact" is pure vaporware and hallucination.

I interpret it as an expression of disgust. Similar to how people will stop reading and throw away a good book when they learn the author is a morally reprehensible person.

Like, I wouldn't spit the food out. But I would be disgusted. Someone told me they planned their vacation with an llm and I couldn't help but express disdain for this friend of mine. Why are we outsourcing creativity and research and interest in discovery to an llm?

This is also weird. I hate planning vacations, but I like going to them.

In secular America at least. Most people in the US are religious, many of them fervently so. And quite a few of them like to mix their religion with politics.

Frankly I think a lot of these people are politics first. How else do you explain the dissonance between Jesus’s teachings and their political opinions?

Their politics are perfectly in line with their Christian-themed cult.

Because it assumes the person actually making the food has no common sense?

We had billion dollar AI company install vending machine that was giving stuff away for free, so maybe AI users don't have common sense.

This is an experiment they ran and were prepared to lose money on. It seems perfectly reasonable for an AI company to test their products in adversarial conditions to have a better understanding of its flaws and limitations.

Looking at the last few hundred years of our civilization, absolutely!

Substantive.

Try this, I'm genuinely curious: if you were going to be born as a random human somewhere on earth, what year would you prefer that to happen?

If they're asking an LLM for a recipe, they don't.

That's just pure nonsense. My partner is very competent cook and she invents new recipes and experiments all the time. I don't see why she can't use LLM output as an inspiration to combine with her own expertise, sense of taste, and preferences to come up with an excellent dish.
