Go ahead and do it if it makes you feel good. Just be aware of what you are actually doing. Chatting with an LLM can be fun, the problem is once you start seeing it as a conscious being that actually understands what it writes, let alone understand you. Because that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Not, really. Antidepressants do actually work, they have clinical trials of decades behind them. With that being said they treats the symptoms, they don’t fix the underlying cause. But treating the symptoms does allow you to start working on yourself so you slowly crawl out of the hole.
Talking with LLMs and pretending they are anything but a tool all it does is further isolate you. They don’t even understand what they write. They are text predicting machines guessing which words should probably go after the ones you gave as the input.
Ok, I interpreted “well behaved” as they don’t jump on the kitchen counters. In that case I guess we agree that we disagree. My own two cats know the counters are off limits and don’t feel the need to jump on them. I still keep the kitchen door closed when I am not home or sleeping, but there is always the chance I might forget, which is exactly why training is important.
That’s exactly my point, it is a tool. The problem starts when you start thinking of it like something different than that.
I have used LLMs quite a lot since they first became a thing and there is one thing I always notice. After chatting for a while it always feels like you are talking to a version of yourself who just happens to be knowledgeable in a vast amount of topics.
At least for me it is similar to having an internal monolog just a lot more interactive. Considering that, I can definetly see why people find AI partners appealing. Because they are literally talking to themselves.
I don’t think that’s a bad thing on itself, after all I used to have long conversations with myself all the time to help me arrive into conclusions. Just be mindful of that and use as a tool, because that’s exactly what it is.
Bingo, you did teach them to not do stuff that can get them hurt. That is the whole point. Of course you don’t leave the kitchen unattended but you don’t rely on just that.
Dude, do you even have cats? Of course I don’t, all it takes is turning your back a few seconds for disaster to happen. You still need to train your cats regardless.
Appart from the fact I have knifes and other stuff they could be knocked over, the counter is also right next the cooktop. The kichen counter is off limits, last thing I want is my cats getting hurt.
Compressed air only works if it’s one of those designed for cats that are activated by a motion sensor. If you are the one holding it they just learn to do it when you are not looking.
Then going to the first vendor in town and forcing them to buy all your crap even though they clearly have no use for it.
Ok, my bad. I thought by drugs you were talking about things like SSIRs which some are attempting to demonize these days. Illicit drugs on the other hand just provide a very short temporarily relief and just prolong the problem.
