Indeed, I don’t think I can convince you at this point, so enjoy the touch of grass

The tech is great at pretending to be human. It is simply a next “word” (or phrase) predictor. It is not good at answering obscure questions, writing code or making a logical argument. It is good at simulating someone.

It is my experience that it approximates a human well, but it doesn’t get the details right (like truthness or reflecting objective reality), making it useless for essay writing, but great for stuff like character AI and other human simulations.

If you are right, give an actual Iogical response only capable by a human, as opposed to a generic ad hominem. I repeat my question, Have you actually used any of the GPT3 era models?

… Don’t pull a strawman, all I said is that the AI’s designed to approximate human written text, do a good job at approximating human text.

This means you can use them to simulate a reddit thread or make a fake wikipedia page, or construct a set of responses to someone who wants comfort.

Next time, read what someone actually says, and respond to that.

… Have you tried any of the recent ones? As it stands chatGPT and Gemini are both built with guardrails strong enough to require custom inputs to jailbreak, with techniques such as Reinforcement learning from Human Feedback uses to lobotomize misconduct out of the AI’s.

Yes using llama.cpp. Be warned without a GPU or strong SIMD, it will be incredibly slow

If all you need is a one sided conversation designed to make you feel better, LLM’s are great at concocting such “pep talks”. For some, that just might be enough to male it believable. The Turing test was cracked years ago, only now do we have access to things that can do that for free*.

EDIT: It seems the app sherpa has what you need. Just use one of the models found here, preferably 7b-chat Q4_K_S

Some people are energised by that kind of thing. However if you don’t want to reveal things to humans, you can use (if you are more technical) llama.cpp

Yes, like most greentexts. Such is the the nature of a platform with no repercussions for posting

Lets see, since the goal is to prevent webscaping all these should work: paywalls, account only acsess, text obferscation (e.g. using a custom font that maps letters randomly to other ones so it looks fine but to a webscraper it looks like gibberish), HTML obferscation (inserting random characters in the HTML then hiding them using CSS) and many more.

Let’s see: Unintentionally making a proxy accessible to anyone online

Accidentally deallocating an ext4 partition and then having to run testdisk on it

Trying to manually create a grub entry and corrupting the bootloader

Installing a arch derivertive and having it silently overwrite grub

Installing puppy Linux and then trying to get it to use apt

Incorrect use of ppa’s on mint resulting in very old packages being installed

And many others besides

Because Gui’s don’t show advanced options and so I know/understand exactly what is being done. (e.g. I would always use apt over mint’s package store so I could see what it did, how much time I had left, download multiple applications at once and see if the package made a random config file somewhere)

Personally I’m doing well, I hope you are to for being concerned with others wellbeing. May you enjoy your holidays kind stranger.

I’ve had that sub blocked for so long I forgot it existed
