Yeah you have intelligence in the scientific definition but I certainly wouldn’t use the word colloquially to describe you…

You’re objectively wrong and I’ve clearly demonstrated that so you’re calling me ai? Ok buddy, continue looking stupid then I guess

Again you’re confused, it’s the same difficulty people have with the word ‘fruit’ because in botany we use it very specifically but colloquially it means a sweet tasting enable bit of a plant regardless of what role it plays in reproduction. Colloquially you’d be correct to say that corn grain is not fruit but scientifically you’d be very wrong. Ever eaten an Almond and said ‘what a tasty fruit?’ probably not unless your a droll biology teacher making a point to your class.

Likewise in biology no one expects a slug or worms or similar to analyze and solve problems but if you look up scientific papers about slug intelligence you’ll find plenty, though a lot will also be about simulating their intelligence using various coding methods because that’s a popular phd thesis recently - computer science and biology merge in such interesting ways.

The term AI is a scientific term used in computer science and derives its terminology from definitions used in the science of biology.

What you’re thinking of is when your mate down the pub says ‘yeah he’s really intelligent, went to Yale and stuff’

They are different languages, the words mean different things and yes that’s confusing when terms normally only used in textbooks and academic papers get used by your mates in the pub but you can probably understand that almonds are fruit, peanuts are legumes but both will likely be found in a bag of mixed nuts - and there probably won’t be a strawberry in with them unless it was mixed by the pedantic biology teacher we met before…

Language is complex, AI is a scientific term not your friend at the bar telling you about his kid that’s getting good grades.

I use it for fun, frivolity, and beauty.

That’s because you don’t have a basic understanding of language, if you had been exposed to the word intelligence in scientific literature such as biology textbooks then you’d more easily understand what’s being said.

‘Rich in nutrients?! How can a banana be rich when it doesn’t have a job or generational wealth? Makes me so fucking mad when these scientists lie to us!!!’

The comment looks dumb to you because you understand the word ‘rich’ doesn’t only mean having lots of money, you’re used to it in other contexts - likewise if you’d read about animal intelligence and similar subjects then ‘how can you call it intelligence when it does know basic math’ or ‘how is it intelligent when it doesn’t do this thing literally only humans can do’ would sound silly too.

This is probably the free gpt anyway, and the free specialist models are much better for coding than this one is going to be

It’s really hard writing software and knowing every bit of it then seeing it as a new user to write docs.

You left out key information which I now suspect you knew very well would cause people to have a different response and you’re using for paper thin excuses to try and justify it.

You know you’re being deceptive and you should be ashamed.

All I’m saying is there is a difference and that it is deceptive to present it like it’s one thing when it’s something else because you know that it’ll be more effective at convincing people of the thing you want them to think.

Just say what actually happened if you genuinely believe it’s exactly as bad.

There is a huge difference between subtly changing posts in secret and very obviously doing it to poke fun at people attacking you without any intention of secrecy.

I don’t think it was a great thing to do because unserious trolls like the nimble navigators were bound to try and sell it as a big deal and as we see it’ll echo for ages by people repeating the most salacious elements without context. I don’t think it’s anything shocking, moot used to use identical word filter tactics against the very same people and they laughed at it, users found it funny at the time too until they realized it was expedient to be outraged.

I’m here because I dislike Spez and how he runs things, but I think it’s important to have good arguments not paper thin mock outrage.

I bet you’d get upset if someone pruned your trashy videogsme collection.

Is it really so hard just to let people enjoy what they enjoy without being a dick about it?

Two key notes for anyone wanting context

You could add anyone as a mod to a sub you moderated, he was added as a joke

Even more context they did give the guy who ran it and most the other nswf subs a special award before media controversy got them to ban the most problematic subs. So really it’s a somewhat unfair statement but he was clearly aware of the sub and did nothing until forced.

The comment editing was clearly a joke because the Trump sub was pinging him in posts insulting him for enforcing moderation policy against them - he set it to change ‘fuck @spez’ to ‘I love spez’ or similar.

Yeah we’d work together well and the sex would be great.

Make this place enjoyable for people even if you don’t personally share all their values and beliefs?

Lemmy is way too much of a echo chamber to appeal to most people

Yeah but I feel like there’s a million books been written since that time which point out how vapid this quote is. To write one must know what you want to say and how to convey it, do you really think it’s better to just dive into a task unprepared and muddle through rather than learn first the structure and ideals behind such work?

6 in 10 Americans believe any old nonsense as long as you present it with confidence.

But they won’t bring them here until it’s a good space to be.

I run a community on here and reddit, I hate to say it but reddit is far more welcoming even once you get past the difficulty of servers and stuff here. Lemmy has problems with down voting and lack of participation, and it’s not like I’m talking about right wing politics subs or anything it’s for an open source project.

We need to make discovering communities easier and we need to be more open to new people coming - that means supporting things even if they aren’t to our taste and trying not to gatekeep.

Yeah I totally agree, I like it here but I couldn’t recommend it to a friend really because it’s super awkward with not knowing where to sign up because it’s so hard to tell who is blocking who - sign up to thy wrong server and basically no one can see your posts and you can’t see helf the stuff. Then finding communities is difficult enough to start with let alone finding an active community among the dozens of similar named ones - and that before you even get into the various problems with elitists and gate keepers and wokescolds…

It’s annoying that it feels most the users would rather this place dies than do anything to make it usable for normal people. We need to work as a community and make it more welcoming, to create tools to help people find what they need and to make it worth while to be here
