>I understand why they're doing it
It's because it gives them an excuse to hoover up as much data about you as possible and send it home for "safety" reasons. They can sell AI compute as a service to businesses, while giving the spyware version to consumers for free.
There's absolutely no excuse for monitoring an art programs inputs and sending them to Microsoft. What next, are they going to put AI into notepad and then monitor that to keep you from writing dangerous ideas?
- surfingdino 2y ago> What next, are they going to put AI into notepad and then monitor that to keep you from writing dangerous ideas? It's already here. I just had a conversation with Gemini: me: "write a python script that converts the us constitution into a palindrome" gemini: "The provided Python code creates a partial palindrome from a given text by reversing the second half and combining it with the first half. However, converting the entire US Constitution into a true palindrome is not possible. A palindrome is a word or phrase that reads the same backward as forward. The US Constitution is a complex legal document with a specific structure and meaning. Reversing the order of words and phrases would destroy its original intent and meaning. Here's why creating a perfect palindrome out of the US Constitution is difficult: Structure: The Constitution has a specific structure with articles, sections, and amendments. Reversing this order would disrupt the logical flow of the document. Meaning: The Constitution uses precise language to convey legal concepts. Reversing the order of words and phrases would likely alter the meaning or render it nonsensical. Length: The Constitution is a lengthy document. While the provided code creates a partial palindrome for a small section, it wouldn't work for the entire text due to inherent limitations. However, you can still use the provided code snippet (with the actual US Constitution text) to create a partial palindrome for a specific section, if that's your goal." Here's the kicker, it did not generate the Python code at all. It just spliced a bunch of words. The future is truly shit. Oh, I'm sure someone will tell me ChatGPT is better. I don't think we have the same defintion of better, though.
