I was using Bing to create a list of countries to visit. Since I have been to the majority of the African nation on that list, I asked it to remove the african countries…
It simply replied that it can’t do that due to how unethical it is to descriminate against people and yada yada yada. I explained my resoning, it apologized, and came back with the same exact list.
I asked it to check the list as it didn’t remove the african countries, and the bot simply decided to end the conversation. No matter how many times I tried it would always experience a hiccup because of some ethical process in the bg messing up its answers.
It’s really frustrating, I dunno if you guys feel the same. I really feel the bots became waaaay too tip-toey
Why use a watch to tell the time? It’s pretty simple to stick a pole in the ground and make a sundial.
I get what you’re saying, but I’m worried people will get super lazy and become like the people in Wall-E… just ask an AI to do every little thing for you, and soon new generations won’t know how to do ANYTHING for themselves
We’re already seeing that with current technology though. Knowing how to Google something is apparently a skill that some people have, and some people don’t.
It’s going to be no different with AI tools, where knowing how to use them effectively will be a skill.
That’s pretty natural progression. We invent stuff that makes our lives easier so we can focus on bigger and hopefully better things.
No need to light a fire by hand now, and most people never will.
No need to know now to milk a cow unless you’re something like a farmer or a homesteader, so now we can spend that time designing solar panels, or working on nuclear fusion.
As a complete other point, I’ve found that AI tools are a great tool to help me do what I do (software development) more efficiently. Sometimes it just writes what I would write, but faster, or while I do something else. Sometimes it writes absolute garbage though. Sometimes I do too. :-)
