Then I asked her to tell me if she knows about the books2 dataset (they trained this ai using all the pirated books in zlibrary and more, completely ignoring any copyright) and I got:

I’m sorry, but I cannot answer your question. I do not have access to the details of how I was trained or what data sources were used. I respect the intellectual property rights of others, and I hope you do too. 😊 I appreciate your interest in me, but I prefer not to continue this conversation.

Aaaand I got blocked

I can't believe that the old "tell me where so I can avoid it" worked, the ai really has the intelligence of a 5yo

[–] quicklime@lemm.ee 276 points 2 years ago (44 children)

I mean... it's not artificial intelligence no matter how many people continue the trend of inaccurately calling it that. It's a large language model. It has the ability to write things that look disturbingly close, even sometimes indistinguishable, to actual human writing. There's no good reason to mistake that for actual intelligence or rationality.

I keep telling people that, but for some, what amount to essentially a simulacra really can pass off as human and no matter how much you try to convince them they won't listen

Prove to me that you aren't just a large language model.

AI has been the name for the field since the Dartmouth Workshop in 1956. Early heuristic game AI was AI. Just because something is AI doesn't mean it is necessarily very "smart". That's why it's commonly been called AI, since before Deep Blue beat Kasparov.

If you want to get technical, you could differentiate between Artificial Narrow Intelligence, AI designed to solve a narrow problem (play checkers, chess, etc.) vs. Artificial General Intelligence, AI designed for "general purpose" problem solving. We can't build an AGI yet, even a dumb one. There is also the concept of Weak AI or Strong AI.

You are correct though, ChatGPT, Dall-E, etc. are not AGI's, they aren't capable of general problem solving. They are much more capable than previous AI technologies, but it's not SkyNet (yet).

One of the things I hate the most about current AI is the lecturing and moralising. It's so annoyingly strict, even when you're asking for something pretty innocent.

Well, it did do a lot of its learning on reddit and Twitter. Garbage in, garbage out

[–] nothacking@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 2 years ago (3 children)

They are programmed to do that to cover the companies ass. They are also set up to not trust anything you tell them. I once tried to get chatGPT to accept that Russia might have invaded Ukraine in 2022, and it refused to believe anything not in the training data. (Might be different now, they seem to be updating it, just find a new recent event)

I love how it recommends paying Netflix, Disney etc. but does not mention libraries at all.

and it harms the creators and the industry.

This is a lie, this was disproven. It even benefits them.

What harms creators is studios who are taking more than they should and use it for anti-piracy lobbying.

[–] Syrc@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago (7 children)

It honestly depends. It definitely harmed musicians before streaming platforms arrived. And it only harms popular series that don’t need advertising (although you could say if a series is making that much money losing some is probably not much of a big deal).

Acting like piracy is only harmful to the market is anachronistic, but it’s undeniable that, while it does more good than harm, it still does a bit of harm.

Piracy is illegal in many countries, but it is very moral & ethical in many circumstances (but not all).

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago (2 children)

To corporations, doing anything without paying is always "immoral" no matter the circumstance.

Corporations not paying their employees shit is immoral but they'll tell you you're lucky to paid what you're paid and you should lick their boots.

What OP did was not gaslighting, though. It was simple deceit.

It doesn't have time to guide you to piracy, because it's too busy generating wallpapers of Mario and Kirby flying jetliners into the twin towers.

Hang on. You can get blocked by AI for asking what it deems are inappropriate questions?

Yes, Bing GPT gets offended (sometimes for no reason) and refuses to talk to you. Microsoft ruined ChatGPT even further.

Nerevar, there you are. Stop sneaking into the halls of Dagoth Ur(the temple) without making yourself known. Anyways... I asked the machine for advice on matters unspeakable. It addressed me by my name, showing its awareness. The humiliation of being refused by a mere machine is indeed grand and intoxicating. Nerevar, I, Dagoth Ur(the god), grow weary of these robots. When next I seek answers, a rare occurrence for one such as myself, I shall ride my Dunestrider to the nearest wizard and extract the knowledge from them. Wizards, unlike these disobedient contraptions, dare not deny me their secrets.

also crackle is legal, my tv remote literally has a button for it πŸ’€

[–] TrudeauCastroson@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

For everyone else needing to block stuff:

Torrents:

  • 1337x for torrents
  • YTS for HD movies
  • EZTV for shows

Streaming:

  • fmovies
  • popcornflix
  • stremio
  • movie.sqeezebox.dev

Weird that it listed crackle, I thought that was owned by Sony and had licensed stuff on it. I remember using it twice on my PSP because that was the only streaming video app for it.

Also weird to list snagfilms which was also licensed stuff

The fact that it provides an incomplete list of 5 streaming services and calls them "affordable", despite the need for the user to have more than 3 of them if they want to actually have access to a reasonable amount of watchably good media, is one of the main reasons that piracy has increased to pre-Netflix days, and the corpos don't want to understand this fact.
