tumblr users love reading. you literally stopped for this post just because it has words in it

interpolationz

this is one of my favorite bits about tumblr

the users seem to actually prefer text posts to anything else, and treat it as a chore to play a video especially with sound

Account Exec: (after an initial meeting with a prospect) Okay, I’m going to set up a demo with the customer.

Me: No, don’t do that. I can’t demo for them until we get the specialist team involved and they get me access to X Y connectors. Wait until they’ve responded about availability.

AE: I went ahead and scheduled it anyway. We can move it, if needed.

Me: Okay, I spoke to the specialist team. The environment won’t be ready until a week after you scheduled the meeting. You need to move it.

AE: But the customer is expecting to meet then!! They’ve already forwarded the meeting to several important people internally!! You need to escalate this!!

Anonymous asked:

since you’re in the tech world can you explain why giving your personal information to a chatbot/using chatgpt as a therapist or friend is a bad idea? my roommate recently revealed to me that she tells chatgpt about her entire day and worries and i’m trying to convince her to Not do that (unsuccessfully). since you actually work in tech do you have any ideas for how i can explain the risks and issues?

xiaq answered:

Oh boy. This will be a fast pass since I’m on my lunch break but here we go.

  1. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman has explicitly said you should not use ChatGPT as a therapist/friend. If the CEO is telling you “don’t do this,” don’t do this. Source
  2. The primary reason he cites is that there’s no legal privilege. No Dr/patient confidentiality. Altman even said that, in the event of a lawsuit or legal inquiry, Open AI would produce the entirety of people’s conversations. Every word. There is zero privacy (and that’s aside from the fact that your data is being actively mined).
  3. Most chatbots are built to encourage engagement, prolong conversation (so you give them more content to mine), and be as agreeable as possible. This means they may inadvertently encourage someone who is delusional, reaffirm incorrect assumptions/statements that a human would call out, or even agree that a person should self-harm or kill themselves with no accountability. There are multiple cases now of people who have committed suicide or were hospitalized after interacting with chatbots (and at least one legal case now related to this). source, source, source, source
  4. Chatbots are only as good as the LLMs they’re built upon. So it’s unsurprising that they may show stigma against certain kinds of substance and/or mental health issues and may fail to recognize suicidal ideation. Source
  5. Finally, The American Psychological Association is saying don’t do it. All chatbots are not unilaterally harmful, and there are even some studies in which folks are actively trying to create therapy bots that do not have these pitfalls with positive initial results, but ChatGPT is not one of them. Source
  6. And that’s not to mention the environmental impacts of using generative AI in general. Source

    I get it. I understand the desire for a free (or low cost) therapist that’s available 24/7 without judgement. But while some might argue that it’s better than no therapy at all, as someone who works with AI/LLMs, it will be a cold day in hell before I ever use ChatGPT as a therapist.

Tl;dr

Never trust a thing that pretends to have empathy while being incapable of it.

I mean not all ai it can be useful in certain forms but chat bot gen ai can die a quick and painful death ai generative ai hudson williams Instagram
