All those people saying “I was skeptical of AI, until I tried Claude and I was amazed that it could tell me this and this and this” sound just like “I was skeptical of psychics, but then Madame Fortuna told me something only my dead wife would know!” Human perception has certain well-documented flaws that confidence men prey upon, and you are not immune from these

    @monkeyborg Excellent observation. Others who exploit these human vulnerabilities are politicians and advertisers. Only the most vigilant avoid getting conned. Now we must summon even more vigilance. It's exhausting. #AI #ASI #AGI

    @monkeyborg that’s true in the sense that statistic probability tells you Madame Fortuna is sometimes right. The problem is when you start making life choices based on those predictions

    @mastodonmigration @monkeyborg so, why should I not fire you and hire a 16 year old kid to use Claude instead?

    @monkeyborg only to people incapable of any serious discrimination, like Joseph Weizenbaum's secretary who asked him to leave the room so she could converse in private with Eliza, the first chatbot, which she had seen him working on. Claude routinely tells me things I don't already know and which are immediately verifiable and it routinely tells me things are wrong, out of date, inaccurate. Only a credulous fool would trust a probabilistic algorithm as an oracle. Who knew?

    @monkeyborg Except that I'd still trust a psychic a million times more than an llm.

    @monkeyborg@triangletoot.party Likewise with me #ai #lechat by #mistal also an #europe made AI. For catching point for all #catlovers Le chat doed not mean the obvious, (actually: le bavardage) but the the tomcat.
