Right, that’s kind of what I’m saying, the book mentions a person with a name and location (ish). Then finding a guy there when the name is fairly common does not equate all things said about him to be true. Far from it it seems. Especially if the book has fantastical claims outside the realm of reality about said person and is inconsistent on his story.

At best you get a King Arthur story, was there a king or ruler in said period for (part of) England? Probably. Did he become king because he pulled out a magical sword from the rock? I would assume not.

There are even stories that Arthur never died and will return one day…

Since it was a fairly common name, you might as well say John from Richmond is a confirmed individual.

Also, Gangnam style. 13 years ago.

Children, which to me is everyone born in the 2005+ are already turning 20. Hell, the iPhone can already vote.

That would be nice but as the “proud owner of medical issues” it’s much more often: “You have this, we don’t know why you have it, this is how we can manage it”.

You still want your doctor to be knowledgeable of course, but you also want them to use the best tools at their disposal. Most of them probably couldn’t tell you how an mri machine works exactly either.

You don’t always have to know how it works to rely on it. Most people could not tell you how a computer works but they are able to do better work.

We can verify that it’s better in some tasks than people. E.g give doctors and the AI 1000 MRI scans of potential cancer patients and it can determine it more accurate than doctors. So there they already are a help.

It’s already used in advancing different fields, for example reading texts of ancient burned scrolls without opening the scroll since that would break them.

But also medicine creation etc.

And with learning, yeah like books, they help you to learn faster but are not a requirement. Same here I can learn much faster now. But I will verify what it tells me.

— But I’m not sure if all of that outweighs the shit. 💩 The genie is already out of the bottle, no putting it back.

I think AI so far is detrimental to society.

• It made it too easy to flood the world with bullshit.

• Also it will make tracking peoples behaviors much easier while keeping plausible deniability on levels that past horrible regimes could only dream about.

• It will be used to make replacing workers more easy.

• It is being used to deny more healthcare (eg Luigie’s case)

Pro’s

• Can be used for good (eg in the medical field) by finding issues sooner and making better cures

• Using AI to actually learn though is a great tool.

• Other scientific advancements

All in all I think it with social media is one of the biggest reasons the US is in the state it is.

The training corpus of these large models seem to be “the internet YOLO”. Where it’s fine for them to download every book and paper under the sun, but if a normal person does it.

Believe it or not:

Totally, I missed it until someone pointed it out in the comments, assumptions about a “consistent world” are kind of baked in. Your brain might implicitly flip it just to make sense.

Right, indeed. 😊

Maybe they should have, since this is definitely something it picks up.

My input was “what is wrong with this text if any”

Claude 3.5

There is an error in this text. Let me point out the inconsistency: It states that Lewis “lost his hearing in his right ear” but then mentions he adapted to “relying solely on his right ear.” This is contradictory because…

Either way, losing hearing as a musician must suck extra.

I saw a link on Lemmy to a “GoG” clone on which you can download all games for free.

Like of all the places not to pirate I would assume the company that enforces no DRM, direct downloads that you can save indefinitely and that makes older games work on newer hardware, would be on the top of that list.

Since those are such common complaints on why to pirate.

Next to that they have deals often where the prices are already really low.

Competing with free is near impossible.
