If a human makes errors and discovers it, the error gets fixed. With AI, it usually fails to fix the error totally on first try, even on nth tries. If on the off chance it does fix it, it generates other problems.

Yes but it will make other kinds of errors you wouldn't make.

My beef with IA is that none of the books as listed for borrowing are borrowable anymore. Why list it then!

It's still too early to say what will the outlook be like in the next ten years, wrt to AI, but one thing I am perfectly sure of is: AI will always produce 'errors' due to the fundamental fact that it's heuristics-based.

If you have ADHD, it's particularly damaging to doomscroll. It worsens my ADHD I've found; hence, except Youtube, I am off all social media of the Tiktok/X type. I use Youtube for long-form video and only select videos, and X

Much like our voices, DNA, odor, and personalities are unique, so is our writing style. When I read a wholly-human writing, I get a sense of what kind of a human I'm dealing with. Using LLMs will distort this signal, so readers worth t

In a way, The ubiquity of AI-generated material will force the world to acknowledge the superiority of the human mind. Already on Youtube there are channels proudly claiming their music was not generated by AI. Will the software industry ha

This book, while excellent otherwise, is much too harder for beginners, IMO. The pace is too brisk, and it's far from pedagogically useful if you don't already know how to program.

No worries, good day to you.

No, I don't think that's the case. I have ADHD and 'risk-assessment' thoughts which are nothing but impulses, frequently occur in my mind. Such impulses are never about ending your life-- and mostly about 'what happ

How do you draw the line between the two? It might start off with self-sabotage and end up in suicidal thoughts-- but also, maybe self-sabotage is yet another way to cope with extreme stress? Given that Poe had chronic stressors (financial,

Thank you. Indeed, what I was suggesting, and the reason I posted my comment is to see if others have had similar experiences (which I assume could be true since there is a universality to how our brains respond to stress). While mine were

"Psychology is so much more complex and varied in its manifestations and etiologies" >> Yes, but there's also a universality to the human experience, isn't it? "enforcing that framework on other people" &

Yes, I have ADHD and a near-constant inner monologue is present when I don't occupy my brain with some activity that requires deep involvement (such as mathematics or video games). I also forgot to add the 'shine' has gone aw

The author of this article needs to hit the books--yesterday. The conditions she describes as 'perversity' is just the heightened response of an over-stressed brain. The suicidal thoughts (that still horrify the person thinking th
