LLM “creators” just really make me laugh. They aren’t “creators”. They’re just less competent than usual art directors. Because that’s what an LLM “creator” really is: an art director. A person telling someone/something else to make something to a specification.
Is one art director taking the statement “yes, just like that, but with bigger tits” and using it when instructing his own artists plagiarizing in any sense that leaves the word plagiarism with meaning? If yes, well, then, “plagiarism” has joined the term “fascist” or “commie” or any other such political epithet in meaning absolutely nothing. It has become literally as useless a word as “literally”. Of no, well, then, prompt “theft” isn’t a thing.
Word to the wise: just learn improv.
Hey ChatGPT, rewrite this prompt differently
Gen AI is stealing other people’s work, you fucking dolt. Piss on this guy.
“Amira” is a pretty female sounding name
Does not give you the right to assume their gender.
Didn’t the first commenter assume it, and in a far more statistically wrong way?
Is this a thread of bots or something? There’s a photo of her in the post.
Yes. All the bots become pretty obvious when you start paying attention.
This has got to be satire. Please tell me it is… Pleaaaase.
This reads like NFT bros.
Came to post exactly this.
My thoughts exactly, but the past few years had really lowered my expectations of other humans
“The vibe is still the same.”
Do they have their own language? What does “vibe” mean anymore?
“Stop using everyone’s words in the order everyone uses them; they are my words, and they are my order”.
People thinking they’re AI experts because of prompts is like claiming to be an aircraft engineer because you booked a ticket.
Reminds me of the very early days of the web, where you had people with the title “webmaster”. When you looked deeper into the supposed skillset, it was people that knew a bare minimum of HTML and the ability to manage a tree of files?
I’ll never forget being at an ATM and overhearing a conversation between two women in their 30s behind me - the one woman tells the other - “I’ve been thinking about what I want to do and I think I want to be a webmaster”. It just sounded like a very casual choice and one about making money, and not much deeper than that.
This was in 1999 or so. I thought - man, this industry is so fucked right now - we have hiring managers, recruiters, etc…that have almost no idea of the difference in skillsets between what I do (programming, architecture, networking, database, and then trying to QA all of that and keep it running in production, etc.) and people calling themselves “webmasters”.
Sure enough, not long after, the dotcom bubble popped. It was painful for everyone (even people that kept their distance from the dotcom thing to an extent) without question, whether you had skills or no. But I don’t think roles like “webmaster” did very well…
I have had in person conversations with multiple people who swear they have fixed the AI hallucination problem the same way. “I always include the words ‘make sure all of the response is correct and factual without hallucinating’”
These people think they are geniuses thanks to just telling the AI not to mess up.
Thanks to being in person with a rather significant running context, I know they are being dead serious, and no one will dissuade them from thinking their “one weird trick” works.
All the funnier when, inevitably, they get screwed up response one day and feel all betrayed because they explicitly told it not to screw up…
But yes, people take “prompt engineering” very seriously. I have seen people proudly display their massively verbose prompt that often looked like way more work than to just do the things themselves without LLM. They really think it’s a very sophisticated and hard to acquire skill…
“Do not hallucinate”, lol… The best way to get a model to not hallucinate is to include the factual data in the prompt. But for that, you have to know the data in question…
“ChatGPT, please do not lie to me.”
“I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
That’s incorrect because in order to lie, one must know that they’re not saying the truth.
LLMs don’t lie, they bullshit.
Have you tried to not be depressed?
Easy solution here: just have AI write your prompts for you!
Isn’t this a bit counterintuitive considering the nature of AI 😑
Ragebait. For my sanity it must be.
Based on my own in person experience with some LLM fanatics, I think this is quite probable. I’ve heard very sincere feedback from people that think they are amazing because they have “advanced prompt engineering” skills. They think “prompt engineer” will be a very selective job in and of itself and think they have an edge. They think they will be able to work on any field because the LLM will take care of domain specific stuff and their “rare mastery” of prompts will be the hot skill.
I hate the title creep of adding engineering to fucking every title [*] - and it’s not all that new, but “prompt engineering” is really far up there in the hubris of calling that “engineering”. There might not be anything overseeing the other title inflation I mention below - no real certification process or governance at all, basically - but at least in most cases, these people had to really work at what they do and learn quite a lot. I bet most people can call themselves a “prompt engineer” after sitting through a few videos on Youtube or Udemy, LOL.
[*] No one is a tester any more, oh, no, they work in “quality engineering”. Not even the title QA is grandiose enough. Same for programming - people aren’t just coders or programmers, oh no, they are software ENGINEERS. Same for working in operations or sysadmin, no one has that title, it’s site reliability ENGINEERING.
I assure you that REAL engineers that actually have the degrees and had to take exams like EIT and then work years under a real engineer to get their PE as a real engineer get a bit salty about all this title inflation. They did all this work and are suddenly neck-deep in “engineers” that are anything but. I get why they get annoyed, believe me. Someone teaches themselves something in the latest Javascript framework and a few weeks later is calling themselves a software engineer, LOL.
What’s next? Getting mad at the grocery store because other people are buying the same things you do?
Oh dear. That mountain of hypocrisy…
“Respect my work and stop stealing it, while I myself use the tool that steals other people’s work”
