I wish counter.social would federate. It would make me feel more comfortable recommending them.

I know right? Like it or not reddit is still the gravitational center...

If the management on BlueSky is getting bad users could just move to another instance right? ...Right?

/s if it's not obvious

Someone here said that LLM chatbots are always "hallucinating" and it stuck with me. They happen to be correct a lot of the time but they are always making stuff up. That's what they do that's how they work.

"What was the person wearing when GPT gave them sightseeing suggestions?"

Thanks for the suggestions!

I do not consider critical thinking skills to be a "viewpoint". I consider them a requirement for intelligent conversation.

Nice thanks!

I think it's important not to victim blame here. These people were lied to, by the bots, and by the companies that say the bots are trustworthy. Their government that permits the false advertising is failing them.

I wonder how many just blindly believe the bots

To be fair, the bots are being explicitly marketed as believable. The customers are being lied to. I personally try to have sympathy for them and direct my frustration at the legislators not enforcing false advertising laws.

This quote from Ford's CEO:

"It's going to be a vibrant industry, but it's going to be smaller, way smaller than we thought," Ford chief executive Jim Farley said at an event on Tuesday.

Combined with the following quote he recently said:

Speaking on the Everything Electric Show podcast, Farley praised the [Xiaomi] electric sedan. "I don't like talking about the competition so much, but I drive a Xiaomi," he said. "We flew one from Shanghai to Chicago, and I've been driving it for six months now, and I don't want to give it up."

Really feels like Kodak in the 90's kinda-sorta investing in digital but not willing to fully transform a majority of business.

And it's not even lying, lying requires an understanding of the truth which they don't have. LLMs string together bullshit that happens to sound reasonable at first glance.
