Fresh grads out of computer science programs are probably among the least employable people in America right now. I don't think employers care what professors teach about software engineering anymore. They just want to get projects done well, quick and cheaply. A handful of coders using AI lets...

I'd probably also say it wasn't worth the risk, but they didn't survey me before they invented it. Since we're stuck with it, I hope they at least do something cool with it before it destroys us.

Exactly. Same. Same. Same. Fascinating. I do not typically do that but will give it a try. Tell them thank you please! Yes!

Don't forget the completely fabricated videos. OpenAI just released Sora 2, their AI video generator, and whoa baby, just wait till those fake propaganda videos start spreading and getting memed and amplified. We may very well be in the late stages of democracy itself, and I don't mean that in a...

I've never said or even thought, "huh huh, learn to code" in reference to someone but fair point. I wouldn't say a career in tech is/was shortsighted, but it's certainly not as smooth sailing as it was. Agree there. Destructive? Yes, probably. Will certainly shift paradigms over the coming...

Many, many careers will disappear over the next 20 years. I wish I knew what all of them were because I'd steer my kids away from going into those careers. Still not clear which industries will be safer than others. Maybe plumbers and contractors? Skilled laborers and trades people who work with...

I work in the U.S. tech industry. Hiring in this industry here virtually stopped about a year ago. Very few people are moving around in tech jobs now, and the people who remain employed now have to use AI because they're expected to produce the same output that 2-3 people would have performed...

Haven't you ever used an AI for work where it actually helped you? I've used it to perform work thousands of times. Yes it makes mistakes that I have to prompt and train around, but when it produces a 1,000-line program for something like a local web server with a QA I want to run that day and...

Which is a crying shame because AI is a part of life now. It isn't political. It isn't religious. It should be safe to discuss. It isn't going anywhere, no matter how much people hate it.

You are a tough crowd, sir. I care about all grandmas, but I worked as a reporter for two years after college. Yeah, sorry, I don't feel bad about impugning this guy's integrity. Integrity and news reporting rarely go hand in hand. He didn't produce that story for your grandmother's benefit...

That's fair. OK, I'll take that.

I immediately acknowledged I was wrong. I could have easily lied or pivoted, but I'm not groveling for forgiveness after questioning a reporter's credibility for doing another easy, low-hanging-fruit hit piece on the evils of ChatGPT.

Not instantaneously, but pretty darned quickly! At least 4 years ago! Are you suggesting that you haven't heard someone ever say before, "Be careful with its answers. Sometimes it's wrong. Sometimes it 'hallucinates'." You've been warned about that before, right? Are there still many people out...

Got it. I honestly didn't even watch the full video before I replied. Did I lie? No, I didn't say I'd watched it. I mistakenly assumed I knew what the video was about and created a narrative from there. I was wrong, but I'm not an AI. Just a regular human. Being wrong is what ChatGPT does a...

I want to reduce the temperature of this, but yes, again, I can't imagine trusting ChatGPT to perform a podcast transcription, especially not without doublechecking it and asking it to try again, repeatedly, until it gets it right. I do that throughout the day. When I'm asking it for help...

I don't feel like I attacked them. I do think it's fair to question their decision to rely on ChatGPT for something like this. Where I work, everyone uses both ChatGPT and Copilot throughout the day. Copilot is a paid add-on for Microsoft 365 customers, so its use is encouraged by the thousands...

Who attacked?

I'd say the issue is more that there are still people who think they can entrust ChatGPT to do something like this. That isn't what it was made for. There are specialized custom LLMs with custom datasets and purpose-built boundaries and filters that are better when reliability and accuracy are...

Why someone would rely on ChatGPT for something like this says more about the people who made that decision than it says about the AI.

True, but it's always there in the DM's back pocket for those times when debate or disagreement about the rules or a player's actions creates confusion or tension. How's the game being served by codifying rules to remove some of the DM's ultimate authority, when at the end of the day...the DM...
