people will volunteer their fears, relationships, medical worries, and political beliefs if the surveillance machine responds with: »That sounds really difficult.«
It does far more than that, it’s like saying: Don’t bother talking to people on Lemmy because they are all autistic monkeys who struggle to communicate
That might be true but there’s more to Lemmy than just American politics, AI, linux and other nerd shit, not a lot more… but I swear I’ve seen a post or two that’s not this
Because I’m capable of reading chat logs and research posted by humans. I follow this stuff closely, because I’m a software developer and it impacts my career. I don’t have to use LLMs to understand how they work and what they do.
They’re talking about how willingly paint eaters like yourself hand over all their personal info to said AI agents, and you got all defensive about the wrong thing. The quip about what it responds with was just that, a quip. The larger conversation is about privacy. The conversation probably went over your head because you’ve used AI so much you’ve regressed into an infantile simpleton who happily bends over for corporate data collection.
People will give their personal info over if it provides them with something useful

As an “simpleton who happily bends over for corporate data collection” and a “paint eater” I block most ads as I don’t feel they provide an improvement in my life
However AI without my personal info is less useful, I use it all day every day for everything, it helps improve my life massively, Mistral itself has privacy controls built in that won’t collect or store hyper personal info unless you allow it which I have
See that’s a meaningful response, even if I don’t personally agree with it. Your original reply did that annoying thing where someone hyperfixates on one tiny part of the comment and ignores the actual topic being discussed.
Imagine if I replied to your comment with just “2026? A.I. has been a thing for much longer than that.” Like, yeah; but also that’s not the important part lol
In reply to your actual comment at the end: It’s actually kind of a big problem with LLMs. For them to be useful, they need access to absolutely everything. This has privacy implications, and can even cause catastrophic errors like deleting the database
you think that’s all an ai responds with?
fuck me lemmy STILL living in a chatgpt3.5 turbo world
Heaven forbid anyone summarize something in their comment for the sake of brevity
Well it’s not a summary, it’s wrong
It does far more than that, it’s like saying: Don’t bother talking to people on Lemmy because they are all autistic monkeys who struggle to communicate
That might be true but there’s more to Lemmy than just American politics, AI, linux and other nerd shit, not a lot more… but I swear I’ve seen a post or two that’s not this
You’re right, it responds with a bunch of pablum that sounds convincing and sycophantic, too.
then why are you using it?
I’m… not? I don’t touch the stuff.
Then how do you know it only responds with “a bunch of pablum that sounds convincing and sycophantic, too” ?
Because I’m capable of reading chat logs and research posted by humans. I follow this stuff closely, because I’m a software developer and it impacts my career. I don’t have to use LLMs to understand how they work and what they do.
so you knew what you posted was wrong and posted it anyway just to virtue signal?
What I posted was correct.
it wasn’t but we’ll move on
Way to miss the point
ok whats the point
They’re talking about how willingly paint eaters like yourself hand over all their personal info to said AI agents, and you got all defensive about the wrong thing. The quip about what it responds with was just that, a quip. The larger conversation is about privacy. The conversation probably went over your head because you’ve used AI so much you’ve regressed into an infantile simpleton who happily bends over for corporate data collection.
Ok lets have that discussion in 2026:
People will give their personal info over if it provides them with something useful

What else would you like to discuss?

Fair enough
https://lumo.proton.me/ is available but if people find Claude/ChatGPT more useful and/or don’t care so I’m not sure what there is to discuss
It’s like having a discussion about personal info and facebook, according to this site:
https://www.demandsage.com/facebook-statistics/
This is over 10 years after the cambridge analytica leak, it’s pretty clear most people don’t care
