    I’m sure he qualified that this would only be the case in a desperate situation where only Gatorade was available.

        It does sound like the kind of question that it got massaged into. I rather doubt it randomly suggested gatorade as an alterative option if no water is in the font.

    Well, there’s water in Gatorade so that checks out. Although I guess by that logic many terrible liquids can also pass for baptism, though I guess Catholics would be into that.

    I have been in IT for 20 years, have both a BS and MS in Information Technology, and I will never understand why EVERYONE has such a hard-on for AI; especially given its track record of “hallucinations”.

        Much of the craze is almost religious. You have for example Singularitarianism. Basically “Man creates AI, which will create artificial general intelligence, which will create artificial super intelligence, which will bring us the singularity, release us from drudgery and give us eternal life.”

      You have been in IT for 20 years and don’t understand this? Has your career not made it abundantly clear that the average person is completely computer illiterate and has no idea what AI even is? How many people have you had to assist in 20 years who insist that they have tried every possible solution, only to find out that something isn’t even plugged in or turned on?

        And that high level management drives decisions about what technologies to adopt, when they know nothing about it.

        Some sales guy on the golf course told them about it.

        I made a mistake in my comment; I failed to clarify that I was referring to the IT industry and not your every day layman. For example, I work under two levels below our CIO/Vice Chancellor (i.e. second in command from the Chancellor/President) of a university, and despite all of the evidence available to them, they still wish to shove AI down our throats.

        I will also be interviewing with an IT company next week who prides themselves on “everyone at every level being engineers” who espouse AI coding as the next level for their internal frameworks.

        These are the people who are supposed to know better.

      In IT for 25ish years, 20+ as a developer. I have used AI a handful of times for generally two things.

      • find/make me an example of something in <poorly-documented-library> when troubleshooting an issue
      • restating a question/search to get better results

      Certainly, I played with it more off and on after it came out, but those are the two real success cases I’ve had with it. I certainly would never let the thing write code for me, particularly where security and optimization are concerned.

        I’ve used AI to summarize long text, and that is a helpful use. I’m really concerned about the growing dependence on having aAI write code.

      its the potential of AI that people have a hard on for. look how far AI has come in a mere 5 years. now imagine 5 more, or even 20 more.

      I don’t doubt that you’re good with technology but, I’ve met MANY people in the information technology field, even with their MS, who were fucking idiots and barely knew shit about technology outside what they needed to know for their specific job.

        I’ve never seen an IT project where the majority of people on it had an ad blocker installed.

        I definitely overestimated how tech savvy IT workers were before I started working with them.

      I cautiously review new tech to develop practical uses for it. I constantly live in doubt of a tech being a replacement for all that came before. So far it never has.

      But helping me fix python code, creating a conversation about IT policy and draft policy creation, cleaning up mass emails before I hit send are all fantastic daily uses for AI in my job

      It being defrocked implies that it was frocked to begin with, which is a bit surprising.

      You’d have thought that they’d get angry at it for impersonating a priest and giving false advice otherwise, since it’s not trained in the papacy like the others.

        That was the thrust of the problem, yes. It was set up by Catholic Answers, not the actual Church, so it’s not like they were able to frock it even if they wanted to. But it claimed to be an actual priest, with all the rights and responsibilities thereof. Thus the “defrocking”.

      Tell an LLM it’s a priest then act shocked when it does priest things. Next level. Truly incredible.

        i wonder if no one thought to add “you are acting as a priest, but you are not an actual priest and should under no circumstances claim the ability to, or try to perform, actions that only an ordained priest may do.”
