How old are you? 5 yo and on a tamper tantrum? You got good advice there. The correct communities for your text. This ain’t it.

Alright, seems fine. Just make sure you include some privacy statement if you process the user’s IP addresses and location. And maybe give a very rough location only.

Sure, I think that’ll do. I mean I love to tell people on the internet that they’re idiots… But a simple “Skip” would do, if OP fears this is going to drag down the place. On the other hand… Forcing people to pick an option has its benefits, too. But there’s a limit with user generated questions. (And I’m not even sure if the ones I saw were user-generated. They were mostly productive, proper questions and without spelling errors…)

Very nice. Jury duty is fun. But I feel we need a third option for questions like: “I am a manager of company with 200 employees. We want to introduce a rewards system for perfect attendance (zero sick days or absences). Two days extra holiday or a financial reward.”
Both answers suck, and the correct answer is: you’re the a*hole for incentivising your employees to come in sick, and either infect other people as well, or not take time to recover and get worse.

Nice. Now try PieFed and MBin 😊 They should have some more compatibility beyond their own niche.

Privacy would be the main concern. Every single one of your words, documents, pictures will probably end up in some large database over at OpenAI. I don’t like that at all. And as a company for example, it might be against the law to share some information about clients with third parties.

Then you don’t get any of the freedoms we got with Free Software. It’s a service you rely on with very little opportunities to customize, or look inside and tinker. There is little control for the user whatsoever. Additionally we already had companies cease service. So it might become unavailable tomorrow, which is a bad thing if you’re attached to it, invested or built things around it.

And since “the internet is for porn”… We also have a noteworthy community doing those kinds of things. And well… go ahead and ask the big services to generate a lewd story. Most of them even refuse to write a murder mystery story for me, instead they’ll lecture me on how it is not ethical to murder someone. So that would be use-cases where local AI outperforms any of the market leaders.

Personally, I’m a bit opposed to the entire concept of letting other people’s algorithms dictate my life. I don’t want to rely on them. I also don’t want them to pick the bias for my perspective on the world. The algorithms in social media are dwarfed by how dangerous it’s gonna be once people rely on AI more and more. And it gets to choose which information to show and which to drop. What kind of bias to introduce in summaries etc. Teach people how to think. And I already don’t like the way all big AI chatbots talk to me with a lot of emojis and in a “Explain like I’m 5 yo” way.

So to go back to the original question… I think the more “useful” AI is, the more reasons there are to retain some control yourself. What do you think?

We had almost the same post 9 days ago:

Maybe it’s because almost everyone uses one single instance (lemmy.world) which is additionally running a very old Lemmy version. Idk.
