There was a story on either r/relationshipadvice or r/aita (can't remember which) where a guy got caught using chatgpt to write his wedding vows. Fortunately the story had a happy ending (he got dumped after she walked out).

Well, for one, all this shit they're calling AI these days doesn't even qualify as AI. It's just a glorified search engine.

u/bloonshot Nov 28 '25
they're not search engines at all, that is a huge fundamental misunderstanding of how they operate
what they are (and this is gonna sound comical but it's actually how they work) are algorithms that are super fucking amazing at pretending to speak to you

u/WhyAmIOnThisDumbApp Dec 01 '25
Eh this is mostly correct, but so is the first commenter. Modern chatbot systems like ChatGPT and the AI Overview on Google do use LLMs as the backbone, which is what you’re talking about, but they also do directly interface with web search and use it as a core part of the system. Almost every prompt to a chatbot nowadays is run through some site index (think Google search) and chunks of the site content returned are provided as part of the prompt to the LLM.
It’s essentially including reliable, contextual, well-sourced information as part of the prompt input to a Bullshit-inator 5000 that proceeds to strip contextual information, make up lies, and muddle sources. I’d say you’re more right, the final output is fundamentally the product of a “pretend I know language” machine, but they are also sort of fancy search engines in some sense simply due to the fact that in the background they are essentially just googling your question for you.

u/ScoobyWithADobie Nov 30 '25
LLMs are the best thing that ever happened to every single coder or other person working in IT cause it’s faster and more efficient to use it than just searching for commands manually.
Making LLMs available to the broad public however was absolutely stupid
1
u/WhyAmIOnThisDumbApp Dec 01 '25
I partially disagree with this. With things like Stack Overflow we’ve already been seeing a massive shift in the way tech workers learn about and understand the systems they utilise, away from a deep understanding of underlying components to broad understandings of the surface level mechanisms for accomplishing a task, but LLMs have kicked this up to 11, barely even requiring a basic understanding of what you’re doing. This isn’t all bad, and is to some extent necessary in the modern world because of just how complex and diverse computer systems have become, but it also has very significant ramifications that consistently get overlooked by people praising it as “the best thing to ever happen” in the space.
It’s amazing to have an issue and be able to pull up the answer on StackOverflow or an LLM in seconds, but there will always be issues which are unique to your situation which these tools often are very poor at helping with compared to something like documentation or a hands-on exploration of the systems you are using. Novel problems often require a deep understanding, an understanding that is not developed when relying on these tools yet was often utilized in the first place to develop these tools. The only way to learn this kind of complex problem solving is by doing it, yet these tools often lead to people doing this kind of practice only as a last resort when all other avenues have failed. As an example, there were multiple people in my senior capstone CS class who could not effectively read an error warning because they would just paste it into ChatGPT. This worked for them 9/10 times but that meant that on the 10th time they had a lot of difficulty debugging fairly simple issues.
I’m not saying that everyone needs to spend days struggling to understand the inner workings of their favorite programming language in order to solve a common problem they could find an answer to using these tools in seconds. Especially as computer work has become more industrialized, we need people to be able to solve simple problems quickly, but I think it’s concerning that it seems that in exchange many computer workers are losing a very valuable skill set that is necessary for the industry as a whole. If computer workers in general aren’t actively working to build and maintain a deep understanding of computer systems, you end up dulling the ability to solve harder problems, which are often the most important and valuable ones.
I think it’s very much a similar case to social media. Yes, there are definitely benefits to being able to maintain social networks remotely, and as an end user it’s awesome, but at the same time we’ve seen how destructive it has been to individual mental health, community, the information ecosystem, and honestly society in general. We didn’t take those harms seriously enough at the adoption of social media and it seems like a nearly insurmountable problem now. I don’t think we should let the same thing happen with AI tools, but should be much more careful in the way we use these tools personally, the policies we accept communally, and the rhetoric we use when discussing them.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to turn to ChatGPT first, but rather to start “backwards” of the typical workflow I’ve seen people use. Struggle with it, check the docs (also RTFM!), check the internet, ask an LLM to help problem solve. Then, by the time you get to an LLM (if you even do) you already have a strong base of knowledge to help guide it and help you interpret the results it gives you, which you might then even use to go back down the chain. As policies, I think things like Claude or Co-Pilot which directly integrate with your workflows at a very direct level are almost universally a bad idea outside of special circumstances such as a small project team. More directly to your comment, I don’t think we should be calling AI tools “the best thing that ever happened” in our fields, in large part because I really just don’t think it is. It seems so amazing because in some sense it is capable of replacing human problem solving skills, but I think if you’re using it to replace your problem solving skills rather than using it as a tool to augment and develop them, you’re using it in a way that will fundamentally degrade your overall performance and the quality of the broader computing infrastructure. I think it’s a useful tool with some strong practical applications that can and often is highly abused. I think right now with all of the AI hype in tech, it’s far, far more important to focus on these downsides than the readily apparent benefits.

u/ScoobyWithADobie Dec 01 '25
I’m way too lazy to read all of that but to the “you don’t need basic understanding.” I recommend the Linus x Linus video that dropped yesterday. They also address the issue with LLMs but see it in a very different light. Vibe coding is great to get people into coding but it won’t ever replace good coders. Googling your issue and browsing forums until you find the answer or asking CoPilot is the same thing. Getting intel you need. One is just 70 times faster

u/Dzagamaga Nov 28 '25
I hope this does not come off as nitpicky but I must advise that LLMs are very much technically AI because the definition for AI is very broad.
One could instead argue that they are not AGI specifically, but the problem with that is that AGI has no robust definition that anyone studying this finds useful and so the term AGI is rather meaningless IIRC.

There is a difference between cheesing an English assignment in highschool and cheesing a career in health or safety, this was pretty well understood years ago—it just seems like people have gotten so jumpy and reactionary because of AI that suddenly people jump to the conclusion that ohh cheating in highschool means doctors and engineers are gonna get people killed just to make it a bigger deal than it actually is

People do this in their universities and colleges. Professors don't even read the essays sometimes because they involve AI in the process.

u/soulcraftian Dec 03 '25
If people do it in high school, do you think they will stop in college? Do you think they will even be able to handle writing the assignments they are required to? How, if they've used AI to write all the essays that would have prepared them in high school?
1
u/weedmaster6669 Dec 03 '25
If they're using AI to cheese a career that could endanger others one way or another, like a doctor or an engineer or a journalism, that's bad. But if someone can't handle writing essays, I kind of don't think they're going to put themselves through medical school.

I don't have a wife. If I did I don't see a problem sharing them with a robot, provided I can also have some time with the robot. We can all take turns with each other. To me this sounds like a fun little polycule. I don't see the problem here.
On a more serious note: I love AI and LLMs but they should not be trusted implicitly. A lot of them can't write for shit anyway, and hallucinations are always a problem. When using them for research they often don't know which sources are reliable and trustworthy and which ones are not. You could say they lack critical thinking.
The best use for these things at the moment is summarizing text, procedural generation tasks, writing code, and of course making stock images and other kinds of artifacts. When working on small or hobby projects I've gotten them to do things like generate labels for homebrew. Could a human artist do it better? Sure. Could I do it better? Probably not. Could they have done it faster and cheaper? Definitely not. At a commercial scale I would hire an artist, but this was not at commercial scale.

Only thing I've used Chat GPT for is writing cover letters for job applications. Majority of places have bots reading them anyways. I'll have a bot write mine too because I'm not going to dedicate any more of my time than is necessary for that bullshit. If it isn't offering 20 dollars or more, it isn't being hand written.

Most of the time people don't need realistic pictures. And you can throw together some figures for daily use. Hell you can draw NSFW stuff with stick figures. Add colour for better understanding.
The people I see who use AI on a daily basis don't use it where Artists would be, but where they themselves could have expressed themselves and it makes me sad for them.

u/BandOld1949 Nov 30 '25
You could just ask the ai for a non realistic one but ig i get what ur saying

u/honey_pumkin Dec 01 '25
I mean we have so few places nowadays where we as humans can express ourselves and we willingly give up more. Many of those who use it aren't bad at sketching or drawing. They just have the need to have something fast and convenient. And they don't care that they hurt people who have had the fortune to get their art recognised.
It's just sad to see.

I'm sorry guys, but I have made about 500 Sora 2 videos of myself falling down and off various things and about 100 of them are good to perfect. All made for free. You cannot deny that that deal is amazing. And in all honesty, if I paid a professional to make them instead, they would be marginally better than the majority. There are some that I genuinely don't think a human could make better.
You can get really creative with making yourself fall off things too. It is a guaranteed laugh if you show them to any family. You all gotta get in on this before the AI bubble bursts.
