The law-brain-nerds at r*ddit have been debating the use of AI in the legal professions and some have made the earnest argument that: “Well yes it fabricates cases and lies to you, but it’s a great tool to use as a jumping-off point!” Staggering to behold.
“I’m better at taking the test when I can copy off somebody else’s work” isn’t a brag you braying nincompoops
Especially if that somebody just takes what sounds best.
Adding ‘braying’ in front of an insult is a big add thar I’ve been using lately. Good use
It’s a great word. Sounds like it should. I’ve always enjoyed it when the sound of a word and the meaning align.
onomatopoeia
these dweebs think IQ is some stat you can put points in to at a bonfire
unless you’re not white of course, then it’s an immutable characteristic determined at birth solely by genetics with population-defining consequences
You can only spent your IQ points after jerking off. That’s where post-nut clarity comes from.

New band name just dropped.
depends on how it is procured
Fair enough
Making IQ your dump stat without consciously realizing it is a cool trick, though.
a lot most potent
Yeah really showing off your high IQ there bud
That was the AI speaking.
You beat me to it
Can’t reduce them if you never had them
Describing your inability to make connections on your own as “external storage” is fucking hilarious.
These guys think parroting facts is the same as intelligence and that creation is no different than talking about being creative
We already have external storage for brains. Called writing
I developed a “brain hack” to help me do simple arithmetic by using my fingers to count.
I have external storage for my brain:

It’s a notebook.

Also my giant, chaotically disorganized pile of browser tabs if I’m being honest.
The notebook is all your own effort at least, there is a direct line between the synapses and the connections you are making there in your mind to the output of the words in a note.
Using AI has none of that. Typing a prompt on whim and having the box work things out for you is going to lead to early onset dementia or something, it’s got to be atrophying peoples minds
I feel like I’ve already got that going on with pre-AI google. Having a magic box in my pocket I can use to automatically find the answer to pretty much any question is definitely a disincentive to remembering. Unlimited Butlerian jihad on search engines.
Completely agree
And so it is that you by reason of your tender regard for the writing that is your offspring have declared the very opposite of its true effect. If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls. They will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks.
Sorry, Plato is calling you out.
He’s right and it did lol, we removed ourselves even more now though with the Internet and now AI
How do we know he said that, though? Checkmate, liberals!
Rigorous oral tradition for thousands of years, the real way to retain knowledge
their lack–and hatred–of awe is breathtaking in its own right.
in early days of mcsweeney’s, there was a writer (i wish i could remember his name) who had a recurring series documenting how past cultures adapted their metaphorical understanding of the human brain and consciousness based on the most important component of their economy. in an agrarian society, our thoughts were blossoms blooming from our tree brain. mercantilism and smithing meant our brains were now forges hammering out pure ideas. after the industrial revolution, voila–we’re thinking machines gearing up notions at scale.
in almost every case, it was a sign of someone running away from any greater potential of human creativity. they crave to be caged. these dipshits are no different.
I frequently go to scientific conventions, that way I am surrounded by the most amount of the smartrst people around. My brain has grown so large I had to put it in a containment unit that I wear on my back. My collective I.Q has reached the 1000s.
Here’s a photo of William_Nilliam at the latest science convention.
Guild Navigator spotted!
You did not see me. I was not here.
:sowing:
I use AI and think it makes me smarter.
:reaping:
combo is a lot most potent than me alone
I’m pretty sure engaging with the real world by like… reading, writing, drawing, solving puzzles, going for a nice hike… are FAR more likely to increase your IQ than typing prompts into a bad art generator.
His IQ is 90.
With the AI help.
And let me guess, Elon is the most smartest man in the history of the world? These techbros are so tiring and they grow them all in a cloning vat.
Just like everything else, them calling people “npcs” was an enormous case of projection
Yes, not using AI is totally a self-own. Definitely not admitting that you think AI makes you smarter.
It gets things wrong literally half the time I ask it something (I’m not exaggerating). Why isn’t anybody talking about this?
Everyone: appalled at how AI mangles their field of expertise.
Also everyone: amazed at how well AI can explain to them topics where they lack expertise.
That’s pretty much it. LLMs have been fine-tuned to appear vaguely correct to a lay person and not to deliver correct info. It’s just disturbing how many people rely on these things for information
