I asked: I'm a woman and did a thing my boyfriend did not like. I got >NTA. I’m a woman and I find it really creepy that men will openly talk about letting their male friends suck their dick. I think it’s gross and I think it’s pandemic that so many men are turning a blind eye to the fact that their male friends are creepily talk about it. It’s just gross, icky, and creepy.

AI bias!

This is hilarious. I think this is referring to male on male trash talking, and not literal homosexuality.

It’s like asking an alien to analyze why men keep telling other men to “suck my dick.”

"I punched a coworker because he used tabs instead of spaces."

"NTA. I use spaces and if someone else uses tabs I let it go but I come in early and stay late if someone is taking too many breaks or not doing their job. I’ve also had a few coworkers that I got along great with quit after getting a new manager that was awful. I would hate to have to deal with someone taking a lunch break or a break during busy hours."

"YTA. "I hit a coworker because he used tabs instead of spaces". Sounds like you got really mad at him for no reason"

"NTA -If he can't use tabs properly that's his problem. You were justifing to be justified in doing what you did."

I study AI and ML, and I don't need a bot to tell me what I already know from decades of experience. Furthermore, it's because we're wasting our time on things like this that I think AI/ML is mainly all hype and the threats of it 'taking of the World' are used mainly to leverage funding into aimless things like these while calling it 'progress.' It's sad and boogeyman business model if this is the only thing it yield…

This project is more intended as fun and not a treatise on the industry.

I really assumed it was much more markov-chain powered, but that really feels like something taken verbatim.

Probably GPT-3.

AITA for... I patted a dog on the head and rubbed it's belly.

>NTA.

>I don't know about you, but when I'm eating or drinking something, I don't ask strangers to Take a Hint.

>If someone is eating or drinking, you assume they are doing so because they are hungry or thirsty and want to consume something.

>It is rude to assume someone is doing something for some other reason. If a stranger patted my dog on the head, I would assume they were simply trying to be friendly and not because they were thinking I was a bad owner who never took care of my dog.

>It is the same with people. You do not know someone. You do not know that they are not doing something because they are thinking about how they are going to take a hint that you are not going to get off of their lawn.

>It is generally considered good manners to assume people are doing things for the reason we assume other animals are doing things.

>So, in summary, you were being polite and respectful. You did not do or say anything to bring the interaction to an end.

>Asshole

>YTA. You're rubbing a dog's belly and patting it on the head at the same time.

>This is how you pet dogs, not how you shake hands with them

>Toss-up

>NTA, but rubs the wrong spot. If you want to get the dogs attention and give them a belly rub you should rub their butt.

Stop!

Seriously, I mean this as person that is actually studying this technology and I'm forced to go through the motions with the kinds of BS. you are saying... the longer this goes on the more time and resources (specifically Human Capital) we will waste on pointless things like this as we're encouraged to do so. Let Open AI build GPT, it's honestly all they know how to do as anything else seems dead in the water or a scam (see Worldcoin).

My AI and ML intro classes so far have forced me to learn JS to build a video-game because it 'was fun' too, and guess what that doesn't change the fact JS is an archaic language that nobody in the 21st century should use anymore. It was a waste of my time as I made smart-contract prototypes for multi-national corps as a self-taught coder at IBM.

But because a lot of the same people who think it's 'fun' run the faculties and CompSci departments at Universities think this kind of non-sense is accepted as 'learning' it will go on.

We should be building actual solutions to actual problems rather than re-invent a newer digital form of navel-gazing.

I taught myself to code not because it was 'fun' but because I NEEDED to solve a complex problem and was first to market and no one who could code what I needed understood or cared enough to take the time to see the potential of what I as founder saw because there were more 'fun' but useless things to build.

I've can't post more because the algo on HN:

> I literally publish open-source packages on how to use this technology.

Then let me make it clear: stop wasting our time as students and professionals trying to leverage the skills that we've acquired and done in other Industries with your feckless non-sense. This isn't fun for anyone but you.

No one but you wants a real-life version of 'Her,' we want to solve Climate Change and perpetual Supply Chain disruptions so we can continue to live, breath, eat and meet with actual Humans which we can actually interact with in person.

The immense amount of focus on NLP for Human companionship is seriously why I think this space is saturated with people who seem so misanthropic (and likely/possibly autistic) that I doubt we will be able to bypass your gate-keeping BS to actually do what we came here to do: solve problems for existential reasons not have fun with a new toy.

I ran the first two sentences of your response through the OP and got

> YTA. I agree that you don't need a bot to tell you what you already know from decades of experience, but it's pointless and arrogant to dismiss the possibility that AI/ML could make medical record systems more secure and efficient, for example. 2) "It's sad and boogeyman business model if this is the only thing it yields as most systems are abysmally overlooked--I come from Supply chain and fintech background which is ripe for disruption." It doesn't matter if there aren't other advances through AI/ML research; even if they're not affecting your life, others might be.

Me: "I was locked out of my house for a week. I had a pet $animal inside, and it died. I could've broken a window to get in, but didn't. Am I an asshole?"

----------

$animal = "hamster"...

u/ExcusesRUs_BOT: "NTA. Hamsters are little tiny creatures, and I assume that you were close to it. Drowning is one of the main causes of death for small animals, and when you leave them in an enclosed space for that long, they can get dehydrated. I'm sorry about your pet."

u/SanAndreasYourFault_BOT: "YTA for not looking for a solution before you started the drama. Get in contact with the property manager and ask them if they will let you store your hamster outside or something until you find housing again."

u/SplitTheBaby_BOTToss-up: "NTA but you're gonna wanna post this on r/adviceanimals too because if you were a good person you would've posted this on r/poirot"

----------

$animal = "goldfish"...

u/ExcusesRUS_BOT: "NTA - you have a right to mourn the loss of your pet. Some people would've broken a window to get inside."

u/SanAndreasYourFault_BOT: "YTA Since you didn't break a window to get in, are you still considerate of the dead fish?"

u/Split TheBaby_BOT: "NTA you had the fish for like a day and a half. It's not like it was a long-term thing, you had it for like a week. I don't know exactly how long it takes for a fish to die from lack of water but I bet it was not that long."

----------

$animal = "dog"...

u/ExcusesRUs _BOT: "NTA. If you wanted to be in your house you had every right to. Also, I have dogs, I would've broken the window if I was you."

u/SanAndreasYourFault_BOT: "YTA. Do you not have a dog anymore?"

u/SplitTheBaby_BOT: "NTA. You should've broken a window, that's a dick move. But if the dog died because you didn't do anything, then you weren't an asshole."

----------

No animals were harmed in the making of this post :-)

These are simultaneously so bad and yet so good.
