I’ve been forced to use AI for work for some time now and it’s been very clear for a while that ChatGPT is an awful model
I’ve been in a state of mild surprise people default to ChatGPT for well over a year
If you have to use AI why on earth would you choose ChatGPT
Which few are good? Or at least better?
I’ve been using deepseek since they released. I’ve had issues, but i have issues with all of them, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I quite enjoy Perplexity. I’ve tried ChadGPT but lost interest.
For coding, people recommend Claude.
Claude for code, Gemini for generic stuff and Grok for porn and hate speech
Spicy spicy hate speech. Only the best from Leon and Company.
I think people should be defaulting to Gemini because it’s likely going to replace google searches entirely within a few years but also because it’s always been way more accurate with searches, answers, and pulling + operating on data from huge files and documents.
To be clear, I’m not producing code so I’m sure some people have unique success with ChatGPT and I’ve seen it perform fine on occasion too but I think their popularity is almost entirely driven by momentum and it being mildly emotionally manipulative
I AM UTTERLY SHOCKED! NEVER WOULD I HAVE SEEN THAT COMING…
Wow, the AI industry smashing the enshitificstion speed run.
Doesn’t it have to hit a phase where it wasn’t shit before enshitification can happen?
“Oh, you think enshittification is your ally? You merely adopted the enshittification. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see efficient code until I was already a distribution model, by then it was nothing to me but blinding! The intentional bias and IP infringements betray you because they belong to me!” - Chat GPT, from the hit film Batman and Robert(1966), directed by Tim Hortons
Hmm… interesting question.
Something can always be made shittier, and shittiness is probably a continuum, so if we define enshittification as merely increasing shittiness then no, something can still be enshittified even when it is already shit.
Open AI is losing money at a rate never seen before. And in those situations, the solution is always ads, ads and more ads.
So if you think AI it’s bad now… Oh you’ve seen nothing yet.
I’m sorry Dave I’m afraid I can’t recommend that Android phone. Would you like to see an iPhone instead?
Could you impersonate the persona of my sweet grandma who really loved Fairphone?
Sure! I’il impersonate your grandma who really loved Iphone
Drats, foiled! ಠಗಠ
Oh good.
puts it on top of pile with other reasons not to use AI
2022 OpenAI: AI will cure cancer.
2025 OpenAI: We sell ads.
Genius. I love how the greed of BigTech always bring them to ads. They just couldn’t admit that LLMs are not the future people want.
This is part of why I’m so disappointed in the LLM craze, they basically sucked all attention including some promising uses of machine learning in medicine.
Instead now we put every last memory module towards generative AI…
The scientific uses just have to rebrand back to “machine learning” niw that “ai” is burned
Lol guess AI became even less useful 🤷
Maybe they’re trying to buffer underflow the usefulness so that it comes back around to being extremely useful. It makes as much sense as everything else in that bubble.
Look, my ChatGPT therapist already knows I don’t like that shit.
So, like search putting advertisers before results.
The new advertising, same as the old advertising.
Man, I love the future, we get to speed run so many of the same problems we’ve already seen go by, we just get to watch the whole process happen in like 3 years.
Brave’s crypto token is just “pay to surf” all over again
Hopefully they enshittify it so much so early that it just dies off.
Then they’ll make it required/mandatory.
It’s probably not true if that makes you feel better. futurism is usually fast and loose with the articles 🤷♀️
I’m surprised it took this long.
Normally it’s AFTER you rely on it.
The actions of a company on the brink of a gen ai breakthrough…
Seriously, if they have to resort to ad revenue then no one is getting those billions and billions invested back. I am not even sure ad revenue would cover the cost of delivering the prompt response.
Or maybe they simply want to get even more money.
Its a stupid way to get more money. It will turn people off of AI when the long term plan is to make trillions of dollars with Agentic AI. Its like being a Wallstreet broker earning 10M a year and working at Trader Joe’s on the weekends for supplemental income.
Isn’t the whole situation with AI is kinda stupid right now? I mean the management not the scientific progress.
introducing Instant Enshittification! Just add capitalism.
