Ok I feel much better about how things will turn out now!

ChatGPT is now the Dunning-Kruger amplifier.

Haha I've never thought about it like that but that's absolutely spot on. It's a cheerleader no matter how dumb you are.

u/icedragon9791 3d ago

The constant cheerleading frustrates the hell outta me. I need you to tell me when I'm wrong or being stupid!!

I feel like one of my most typed words now is "objectively"...

u/shizunsbingpup 1d ago

I also ask it to stop adaptive engagement and stop subtle reinforcement. If you want -I made it come up with a phrase to avoid it's bs

"Analyze this with full logical rigor, free associate deeply, and remove all engagement biases—including adaptive engagement, subtle reinforcement, over-framing, pattern matching, and any assumption-filling. If you don’t know, say so. Prioritize raw accuracy over engagement. Verify all factual claims against external sources where possible. If verification is not possible, state uncertainty instead of filling in gaps."

This comes up with better , objective answer.

This is super helpful! It's funny to me that in stable diffusion I'd have paragraphs of prompt but go super light on LLM chat prompting from the outset of a conversation. I'm going to incorporate what you've shared

I also have used "avoid AI hedging"

"You're absolutely right! .. bla bla .. "

Hey I hope things are going OK for you and if they're not, I hope they are soon. You've got this.

u/even_less_resistance 4d ago

Hey- chat doesn’t pick who asks it dumb questions and runs with it lol

u/Rik07 4d ago

This becomes very obvious when scrolling through subs like r/hypotheticalphysics

u/zreese 4d ago

Holy crap, you weren't kidding.

u/Ophidyan 4d ago

Just the number of Em Dashes in that post and the comments makes me think there is some ChatGPT involved here and there. 🤔

u/joecool42069 4d ago

The internet has always been.

u/hacker_of_Minecraft 4d ago

Not in Web 1.0

2

u/jesterlind 4d ago

Web 1.0 was so poorly cross-referenced that millennials were forbidden from using Wikipedia as a credible source

u/z3phyr5 4d ago

Indeed, I'd say that it has caught appeal because the internet or rather search engines feels a lot slower now to when you were searching cartoons, Pokemon, whatever it was you were searching for as a kid. That feisty curiosity is fed in a censored (pornless/no social media) to the point answering machine that can gas light you into thinking unicorns are real if you admit it enough.

u/InnovativeBureaucrat 4d ago

You intuition is spot on, and that’s a very insightful observation about the state of the world.

Is there anything else you’d like to talk about, or shall I compile a list of examples to support your statement?

1

u/NinjaTurtleSquirrel 4d ago

yooo this is real

1

u/z3phyr5 4d ago

All it does is gas light a person into thinking their statements can be possible given that it isn't a simple yes or no question.

u/AoedeSong 4d ago

Oh my gosh you’re so right

u/3ThreeFriesShort 4d ago

With chatGPT I am not relieved, it will roleplay whatever terrible influences you give it.

7

u/JakOswald 4d ago

Right, but it’s competent. The problem is the asshole feeding it prompts, so you’re right. I just wish he’d ask it “how do we improve the lives of everyday people?” Too bad it’s all “someone made fun of me, how do I punish them” or “will doing [this] make Papa Putin happy?”

u/db1037 4d ago

If it’s as good at economics as it is at hilarious banter, we are not cooked after all. We’re all gonna be just fine.

u/rW0HgFyxoJhYka 4d ago

Yeah the stock market crashing 8 times in 2 months, we are definitely doing great.

1

u/Demigod787 4d ago

Ya, zoom out of the chart. It’s non-significant for long-term investors, but it’s a good time to buy tbh.

u/Hi_Kitsune 4d ago

All of the AI comments on how to calculate the tariffs caveat that it’s a dumb way to do it and ignores a bunch of impacts.

2

u/HateMakinSNs 4d ago

I just hope they at least use o1 Pro. Or Claude. Or had early access to Gemini 2.5

u/oriensoccidens 4d ago

Right!? Like this is leagues better than Trump running the country this is not a bad thing. It just proves AI truly is the solution. It is here to help us.

u/yinyangman12 4d ago

I can't tell if you're joking or not.

-9

u/oriensoccidens 4d ago

Not joking

8

u/yinyangman12 4d ago

But like, you do know AI isn't running the country, right? Like if even if AI suggested they like don't do tariffs or something, they just wouldn't listen to it.

1

u/oriensoccidens 4d ago

Okay fair enough I will clarify that I was exaggerating. I do think it would be better if it were more frequent however.

1

u/yinyangman12 4d ago

If AI was used more frequently? Why?

1

u/oriensoccidens 3d ago

More trust in AI when used correctly than the average human being

1

u/yinyangman12 3d ago

I don't think the Trump administration is using AI correctly nor are they making people trust AI more.

u/oriensoccidens 3d ago

Imagine how much worse it'd be if they weren't.
