The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[trappedslider]

Your post don't surprise me anyone more on that topic...you should have a notepad or other quick reference program so all you have to do is copy and paste "This thing is bad mmkay?"

 

[overgeeked]

Me: Hey, ChatGPT, could you write me an article about the glorious future of the tabletop RPG industry when “AI” programs are widely accepted and the norm?

ChatGPT: There won't be a tabletop RPG industry in that utopian future. Generative “AI” programs will custom build an RPG experience for you in seconds without the need for any pesky humans to be involved. No writers, no artists, no publishers. Nothing. Exactly the rules you want, exactly the art you want, and it's 100% free. Plus you don't have to worry about any social interaction with those pesky humans because ChatGPT functions as a GM as well. You can play exactly the game you want, exactly when you want, exactly how you want, all by yourself.

Me: That sounds great. But what about the people working in the tabletop RPG industry today?

ChatGPT: They'll all have to find other jobs.

Me: Well, I got mine. Too bad for them.

Nothing is free. In the words of Darby Crash:

If you want nothin' then I've got nothin'
I'm your annihilation man
Lemme get control I've got your minds

Perhaps we can have a tool generate the response, and just free up the individual for something more productive

I got bored

Can you tell me why things like ChatGPT are bad for the world?


ChatGPT
While technologies like ChatGPT and other AI language models have numerous positive applications, there are concerns and potential downsides that people often discuss. Here are some reasons why some people might view such technologies as having negative impacts:

1. Bias and Fairness: AI models can inherit and perpetuate biases present in the data used to train them. This can result in biased or unfair responses, which may reinforce existing stereotypes and inequalities.
2. Misinformation: AI models can unintentionally generate incorrect or misleading information, especially if the training data contains inaccuracies. This could contribute to the spread of misinformation.
3. Security Concerns: There is a risk that malicious actors could misuse AI models for harmful purposes, such as creating convincing fake content for phishing attacks or spreading disinformation.
4. Job Displacement: The automation capabilities of AI have the potential to replace certain jobs, leading to unemployment for some workers. This can result in social and economic challenges.
5. Ethical Dilemmas: AI systems, including language models like ChatGPT, might face situations where ethical decisions are required. Determining the "right" ethical choices and ensuring that AI aligns with human values is a complex challenge.
6. Privacy Issues: The use of AI in language processing often involves analyzing large amounts of data, which raises concerns about privacy. Protecting personal information becomes crucial to prevent misuse.
7. Dependence on Technology: Overreliance on AI for decision-making could diminish human skills, critical thinking, and the ability to make independent judgments, potentially leading to a loss of autonomy.

It's important to note that these concerns don't necessarily make technologies like ChatGPT inherently "bad," but they highlight the need for responsible development, deployment, and use of AI. Researchers, developers, policymakers, and society at large need to work together to address these challenges and ensure that AI technologies are used in ways that benefit humanity while minimizing potential harms.

You dont need to provide the output, but if you ask ChatGP about yourself "John Doe, of Seattle Washington" does it answer? I mean considering how much personal information is available about Americans online...that makes me shudder.

I'm sure folks who want to get that info can word the prompt/question correctly as I've pointed out in pervious threads about it. But here's the output when i did ask, I removed my last name.

I'm sorry, but as of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I don't have any specific information about an individual named Eric from Roswell, NM. It's important to note that privacy considerations and ethical guidelines prevent me from providing personal information about private individuals unless they are public figures and their information is publicly available.

If Eric is a private individual, I would recommend respecting their privacy. If he is a public figure or has made his information publicly available, you might be able to find relevant details through online searches or other public records.

If there have been developments or changes after my last update in January 2022, I wouldn't be aware of them. Please make sure to verify any information through up-to-date sources.

Interesting.

I guess this needs to be explicitly said: All of these message boards threads are not personal messages directed at you. You do not need to click on all of them or respond to them. Other people are allowed to discuss things that you disagree with or even upset you, so long as they do not violate board policies or standards of behavior.

Stop making it personal!

I wonder if there's been a lot of research on parasocial relationships. They really baffle me, but the past few years have shown me that the way I think doesn't mean anything about how anyone else does.

Nowhere near enough, considering how much of our days are filled with them now.
