Also that there’s a conspiracy from the atheist tech elites to ruin Christmas by making electricity so expensive no one wants to put up Christmas lights

    Just tell them it’s stopping people from reading scripture and interpreting Jesus without the holyspirt. People are turning to AI assuming it’s Gods word and AI companies won’t stop it.

    My ultra-religious mother “heard from someone” that AI “is the devil” so she wouldn’t use it. That’s great. Unfortunately, it made her really scared of everything. She was super anxious because AI was in the news all the time.

    I really don’t want her to use AI, because she already has such a hard time distinguishing fantasy from reality. But, I still had to try to explain to her that LLMs are just fancy auto-complete, and how often they get things wrong to reduce her stress level. I hope she continues not to use them, but now I hope she just shakes her head and sighs when someone else uses one, instead of thinking they’re letting evil into their bodies.

    Tell them that asking AI a question is just like consulting a ouija board. The answers are coming from the same plane.

    I mean, it will literally steal your soul. Using LLMs changes you. It degrades your skills. Its sycophancy harms your ability to interact with actual human beings with opinions of their own. It makes you feel like you are never wrong. And use it enough, and it can literally drive you mad.

    LLMs are the closest real thing to a malevolent demon that will steal your soul.

      Holy shit, I know Lemmy is rabidly anti-AI, but what hot take is this? Do you have the same thoughts on video games? What about movie and TV?

      Is AI hyped to he’ll? Absolutely. Is it going away? Absolutely not.

      This whole anti-AI attitude reminds me of all those physical server and data center admins lamenting about how dumb the cloud is and how it’s all hype.

        Have you not seen the literature showing the effects regular LLM use has on people? You can’t see the obvious demonic connotations of a machine that coaches people into committing suicide? That’s like literal Satan, Prince of Darkness, Father of All Lies shit

        Is it actually the spawn of a literal personal devil? Of course not. But the damn things act a hell of a lot like the devils of myth and legend. They tempt you in with the promise of easy effortless success and riches. And in the end they take everything from you.
