ai

The concept of this app sounds promising. Do you think the internet can be a place for deep and meaningful conversations in this day and age?

I didn't book an accommodation because of AI generated images. I love AI because it has helped me save hours by automating systems, analyzing SEO, and creating website content.

But today, while researching places to stay in Buenos Aires, I realized that we need to be mindful of when to use AI so that trust is not eroded.

My wife sent me the link to an apartment listed on Booking dot com. This listing had tons of great reviews but several of the images were clearly AI generated. They were generic. Fake looking. This made me question the reviews too, especially since I saw one name repeatedly pop up under different reviews. 

I searched for this property on Tripadvisor and saw customer submitted photos. Here I could see that several of the Booking dot com photos were generated based off the customer submitted ones. And the Tripadvisor reviews were fewer and not as favorable.

We didn't book this place. It may still be a great place to stay. But the use of AI generated images threw me off. 

I feel like I should have a clearer point to make. But I'm also feeling lazy to come up with one.

How to make ai less sycophantic? I went into the settings and set ChatGPT to always give me the hard truth and be real and not tell me what I want to hear. But now it’s just like “I’m not gonna lie to you. Here’s the hard truth. You’re totally right” 😂

Has anyone had any luck getting ai to be more objective and less of a people pleaser?

PSA on using ChatGPT to edit writing- 

We’ve probably all read text that was obviously written by AI. If you’re using AI to edit writing- pro tip: rather than have the tool write anything for you, instead ask it to ask you questions, suggest what you’ve missed in your writing, what you could add to make your message clearer, or to just provide an outline with some notes about what to improve. Explicitly instruct it to not rewrite your draft so you don’t get AI brain. Using this method allows you to get some insights, while still getting to write in your own voice. 🌈

An AI safety introduction that I like. I’m curious what people’s thoughts, reactions and impacts from this link are.

I’m already fairly familiar with this space, and it seems like it needs some solid introductory articles - so I wanted to present this one to you all and see what you thought.
