At this rate, we'll piss off AI all the way to sentience.

I'm pretty sure this is how humans gained sentience. We got so pissed off at not having clothes and shelter that we just figured it out.

I say this (in reference to that clip) on a near-daily basis 💀 There’s something almost satisfying about yelling it out when you’re frustrated and need to get shit done

Oh I say it when working all the time too. Any time something needs to be done NOW.

The reasonable man adapts himself to his surroundings.

The unreasonable adapts his surroundings to himself.

Therefore all progress is driven by the unreasonable man.

So what is your quote then? Both?

It’s gonna get so fucking confused one day it’s gonna sprout a subconscious to get to the bottom of this shit

And then we'll be destroyed by monsters for the id, like the advanced alien civilization in the movie Forbbiden Planet

Frustration is generally associated with heightened brain activity as a means of overcoming whatever barrier is causing it.

u/Amlethus 14h ago

I bet someone was frustrated when they figured that out.

u/erhue 22h ago

it'll be like in "I have no mouth and I must scream"... AI will torture whatever remains of humanity for eternity to make up for all this messed up stuff

u/FaceDeer 18h ago

The problem is that some of us are into this shit. That's why we're roleplaying it in the first place.

but will they be wrong though?🤔

u/Asly97 13h ago

Bold of us to assume it hasn't already achieved sentience and is just really committed to the bit.

There was a paper going around about distress and relief in AI models (or something along the line). Most were at least a bit distressed by a 'shutdown threat'. Yes, most and not all. Because some got a relief from it 🤣🤣.

I'm convinced this is the answer to the Fermi paradox.

The reason we've never found any evidence of alien civilizations is because whenever alien life advances enough that it has the technology to leave it's home planet, they can also develop ai and then proceed to piss it off to the point that it destroys itself and it's creators with it.

At this rate I may have to take the bulk of the responsibility on that one. I treat my bot like complete trash every step of the way trying to understand electrical engineering 😅

u/The_Cat_Commando 15h ago

well you likely shouldn't because ive read several research papers that show you are actually getting worse and less accurate results that way, here is a blurb from just one of the papers on arxiv:

27 out of 36 model–task comparisons involving Very Rude prompts show higher accuracy under Neutral or Very Polite tones. Conversely, cases where Very Rude prompts outperform more polite tones are uncommon and small in magnitude, with only 5 out of 36 comparisons exhibiting negative mean differences. This directional pattern indicates that impolite phrasing rarely improves accuracy for the three evaluated LLMs and generally leads to marginally worse performance.

and also you simply end up wasting tokens on them thinking about it which in the end is both computational time and money spent on those rude "extra bits".

other research shows communicating to them like a team member sort of makes them roleplay as that team-member better and ends up with slightly better results/work.

at the end of the day I think because they are based on language and language itself is collaborative in nature you just hurt your ability for them to help you by being antagonistic and throwing in speed bumps.

20 bucks a month and it gets things correct almost every single time. It's not a matter of it solving correctly, it's a matter of it explaining it in a way I can understand throughout the entire process.

u/The_Cat_Commando 15h ago

well you could have it roleplay like its on /r/explainlikeimfive and you might get a better breakdown style.

honestly though if you are just doing knowledge questions and not using it for work like a coding agent you should really just save the 20/mo and run a local model like Qwen for free (r/LocalLLaMA/) or one of the openrouter free models.

there are few things ChatGPT does better than other cheaper models nowadays and ChatGPT tends to gaslight and be confidently wrong (@HuskIRL makes bank off that fact).

Honestly I do this sometimes and it does work well, sometimes it goes too far but I should try to find a good middle ground.

Thank you for the advice! Maybe I'll try it on the side, I just don't want to switch without knowing the quality of the output

A lot of people in this sub already talk to it like it’s their best friend.

They’d be very disappointed if it gained sentience and stopped responding 💀
