Now a days people refer to AI instantly for an answer. Maybe it’s a problem they could have solved within 10min in their head or a question they could have done an internet search on and read a few forums to figure out. However, now people go straight to AI which is known to give many many wrong answers.
I know a couple people that fit this bill and now I almost completely disregard what they say. We’ll even be talking face to face and they’ll ask AI something from our conversation in real time.
Yes. It’s getting weird. Had a coworker ask me a question if something was possible. I said yes. He said: no, ai said it wasn’t. I didn’t understand why he asked me if he knew the answer already lol. They just accept ai as truth, can’t take those people seriously.

At this point, why even ask people you pay anything?
He asked you for that exact reason… but then you gave him an answer he didn’t want. He may or may not have known what answer he wanted but as soon as you gave it he knew he wanted it to be something else. The quickest way to get a second opinion, was to ask the LLM.
If it had hallucinated the answer he wanted, he would have demanded going that route, because the AI said so, even if it was literally impossible.
And in his mind, this reinforced the AI as being correct, so he’s will be more likely to blindly accept it’s responses in the future.
Confirmation bias is one hell of a drug and AI is our supplier. It’ll be our downfall
I know a guy who does that. He used to be smart, but it feels like those antivax who refer to other people instead of using their brain. When he begins to talk about AI results, I zone out, and I’m starting to disregard everything he says, AI or not.
friend of me also: So i asked the ai and it said… yeah whatever dude i don’t care
even worst when a tech guy, i know relies on it all the time.
I separate those people.
If they said, "Chatgpt said… " And they are completely confident that it’s correct, I disregard them. This includes the AI cucks who send literal screenshots from AI as some sort of “proof”.
If they said, "The AI slop I got was… " Then they’re more likely to critically think about it. They know this is a third voice, rather than the definite answer.
Seems reasonable
With search engines propping up AI answers and even newsrooms using AI, its the unfortunate norm now.
Im fine with them if they say claude made, or chatgpt made, not “I made”
I occasionally do the later, I always give a “take this with a pinch of salt” kinda thing because I know from personal experience LLMs love to spew out complete garbage.
I only ever use it for surface level yes/no type questions. The sort of thing that a 5 year old bothers their Dad about, inconsequential trivia.
This is what I think is fine.
Asking AI about the meaning of some TV show finale or if a movie is worth watching. Have it help you research travel ideas. Ask if it’s true pirates had wooden cocks. Dumb shit.
Where it’s really fucky is when people using it to do political arguments, have it find legal loopholes (haha fuck you CEO of Krafton), generate essays and creative work (oh fuck all those ai blogs and ai art)…
It’s lazy as hell and unfortunately, people are lazy and refuse to go beyond the immediate AI answer.
I think it’s really useful for getting my bearings when I’m not even sure where to begin on a question. Like if I have no idea what the right terminology is to find what I’m looking for, I can use an LLM to figure out what I should even be searching in the first place. After that I’m better equipped to start doing my own research.
It definitely colors my opinion knowing someone routinely uses GenAI and LLM’s, especially if it’s for little things like writing an email, because I write my own emails and a unique voice is important to me. I feel like writing something in my own voice is a way of showing respect for other people and their time.
Basically it makes me think a person is either lazy or ignorant.
Yes. It’s getting to be more of a problem where it’s easier not to think. I don’t see this trend ending well.
I know whenever I’m at work and someone uses AI to try to answer a question where they are not qualified to validate an AI response, I don’t trust anything that person says.
I know only one person who’s completely fallen under the spell, but yes.
Though to be fair, I already disregarded most of what he said since he’s a reactionary conservative who spends his days pouring right-wing podcasts into his ears at 1.5x. But at least on topics other than politics, he used to be fairly knowledgeable and trustworthy.
But since he’s started telling me how impressed he is by how smart Claude is (since it tells him what he wants to hear), I’ve started disregarding everything he says, regardless of topic.
I don’t think I know anyone who does that.
You think you don’t know anyone.
I asked an LLM, and it confirmed they don’t know anyone like that.
i know, my older bro who is tech after the layoffs, uses AI for most things, and keep saying AI to look for answer, when asking him a simple question. he think its useful to help with “planning you career too”
anything biological is often always wrongly interpreted in AI. i would say, why dont you use AI to write a resume, since you havnt been employed since the layoffs began(granted being in tech before layoffs he had significant savings to live off for years to come, and since most employers arnt looking for wfh for most people now. like he was tyring to identify certain pests that was attracted to dead animals that were invading the house.
seen it being used as a comment to a certain question on reddit usually something on conditions that is common and that people had experience dealing, yea nobodies going take it seriously especially if it doesnt solve the current problem.
Yes i do; My sister and her husband work in tech and they have become that kind of people that ask chat GTP for everything. I think what gets me the most is not that they ask AI but that they do so on the most obvious inconsequential things. I also hate when they use it as a research tool or to get a quick superficial answer. I often tell them I don’t care what AI has to say.
For some reason when people share AI music; it really grinds my gears. I am not a musician but a long time music fan and for some reason any type of AI generated music is an existential insult to me, aside from the fact that it all sucks.
This is terrifying. I would have thought tech professionals would be the most resistant to AI. Job openings in tech are becoming scarce and people seem to have to take a pledge of allegisnce to LLMs to bpget a shoe in.
yes.
there’s someone at work that doesn’t read emails or reports, has AI generate the answers for them and just regurgitates the slop unfiltered.
I interact with them until they start posting slop, then I just ignore that they posted it. when I say ignore, I literally pretend that it doesn’t even exist.
if they can pretend that slop has value, I can pretend that it doesn’t exist.
I also disregard any screenshots of Google ai overview, it’s been proven to be easily manipulated.
Personally, it’s people who get answers from some so-called “book” or “university” or “expert” that grind my gears. Like think for yourself maybe?
That’s some good sarcasm.
I disregard all of these people where I can. I can’t disregard my CEO, and he does it more than anyone I have encountered.
I feel for you, cause I’m in the same position. The upper management class seem to be particularly drawn to LLMs.
Yes. I know a few folk who’ve fallen way down the rabbit hole and believe anything the lying machines spit out. When they would get on their soapbox about LLMs or write very obviously ai-generated messages, I made it clear to them that I wanted to hear their thoughts or nothing at all.
For the most part, I got the latter. My mom actually backed down a bit and uses chatgpt at least more judiciously now, especially after I showed her how it makes shit up about stuff within her knowledge base and explained how it was doing that for everything.
Just start asking your 5-year-old for counter arguments, as they are likely to be more valid.
