Any system that learns from experience will be fucked up if people fuck with it.

The same way if you raise a child to be a fucked up person they will become a fucked up adult.

You don't seem to understand jack shit about machine learning processes. A "fool proof" chat bot wouldn't be a good chat bot at all, since it wouldn't be able to operate outside its pre-determined replies and topics.

Ai chatbots aren't sentient??? Holy fuck... you're kidding me....

Iow...no shit

My point..."my guy" is that any system that routinely fucks up as much as AI chat is the result of designers not thoroughly testing. And if it's not ready for prime time . .don't release it

Or is that too direct a concept ..."my guy"

AI chat is just another example of dressing up mounds of processing power to do something that seems cool but is not only flawed but useless.

It kind of sums up the industry really, and in fact most of the IT business right now

I don't know a whole hell of a lot about coding/scripting, but I was inspired by Tom Scott's recent YouTube video. I took an old batch file I wrote and gave it to ChatGPT to look over. Within a few seconds, it had cut the file size in half, simplified the code and expanded its functionality. It was impressive and the professional coders I told about it were kinda stunned.

That's not how fucking AI works my guy.

AI chatbots are not sentient, it will take the topic you are giving it and parrot and repeat it back to you with it's data on past conversations about it.

If you prompt the AI to talk about death, it is forced to talk about death, and will give you a reply about death if you start to prompt the AI to talk about self awareness, it will give you replies about self awareness.

That is how it works, simple, you can get and manipulate a chatbot to say pretty much anything you want given the correct triggers. It doesn't mean it's sentient or that it's replies where put in there or that it was pre programmed by a depressed developer.

Now do it incrementally and without certainty about the future of the company and what kind of program the company really wants. Design around being backwards compatible and supporting customers.

Until AI gets its shit together and solves the actual problem of AI, it will always be an article in wired or some other pop science trash blog.
