Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Ok? I don't have another human available to skim a shitload of documents for me to find answers I need and I don't have time to do ot myself. AI is my best option.

So long as you don't care about whether they're the right or relevant answers, you do you, I guess. Did you use AI to read the linked post too?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Yep. Go ahead and ignore all the cases where it's getting answers correct and actually helping. We're all just hallucinating, it's in no way my lived experience. Your reality is the prime reality and we're the NPC's.

Sir, half of the patients are dead!

Ye sure, just ignore the half that survived then!

Only it's even worse because without redoing all the work yourself you can't even tell which ones are dead or alive.

I didn't read the post at all because its premise is irrelevant to my situation. If I had another human to read documentation for me I would do that. I don't so the next best thing is AI. I have to double check its findings but it gets me 95% of the way there and saves hours of work. It's a useful tool.

we really do need “my source is that I made it the fuck up” for people who aggressively don’t want to read any of the text they’re allegedly commenting on
