I grew up as a PC gamer (if you can call 8-bit computers PCs too) and never had a console as a kid. I got an Xbox One when it came out, just because of the Kinect, and never played anything on it other than Just Dance. Playing on my PC is more convenient. I got a Switch and played some Pokémon, but couldn’t get in the habit of playing on a device instead of a PC. When I got a Switch emulator on my PC, I played more on that than I did on the actual Switch in all the time I owned it.

It’s like saying Microsoft Windows is the most loved OS on PC. People just go with the option in front of them. Spotify is the biggest streaming service now, Amazon Music ties in with Alexa.

Don’t they already believe that? What you call gender is a concept they don’t believe in. They use the word as a synonym for assigned sex.

And some shows have a slightly different intro for each episode, which might make you want to watch it every time.

The intro is the opening sequence of the show. People usually watch that on the first episode, but if you’re binge-watching a show you don’t want to keep seeing the intro over and over again for each episode.

It’s really good at boilerplate. Saves a lot of time on repetitive tasks. I’ve found it particularly useful for unit tests and demo pages. Things where you write one variation and it automatically generates the others for you.

Another instance where it was useful for me was when I needed to make a small change in another team’s repo. I knew exactly what I needed to do, but I wasn’t familiar with the language. Copilot helped with getting the correct syntax.

Also this “shower thought” is word for word one of the popular posts on lemmy from a few weeks ago.

They can’t say that the man assaulted someone as a fact. But that the man was charged with assault is a fact. Alleged attack is not a charge, so “charged with allegedly attacking” is nonsensical. To cover their ass they can say “charged for allegedly attacking”, which shows that he was charged, why he was charged, and also adds the required “allegedly”.

charged with allegedly assaulting

Is this correct use of “allegedly”? The man allegedly assaulted someone, so he was charged with assault. Or they can just say “charged for allegedly assaulting”.

I remember the girl who accidentally tried to walk through a glass window. Three times in a row.

The equivalent expression in my language is “the drop that filled the glass”. As with the camel, the glass was already full, it just needed one more drop to reach its limit.

I felt old when I started hearing Limp Bizkit and Blink-182 on my local classic rock station.

Hallucinations are an issue for generative AI. This is a classification problem, not gen AI. This type of use for AI predates gen AI by many years. What you describe is called a false positive, not a hallucination.

For this type of problem you use AI to narrow down a set to a more manageable size. e.g. you have tens of thousands of images and the AI identifies a few dozen that are likely what you’re looking for. Humans would have taken forever to manually review all those images. Instead you have humans verifying just the reduced set, and confirming the findings through further investigation.

If I’d play a game for 73 hours it would be the 15th most played game in my Steam library.

I did not say companies should have no liability for publishing misinformation. Of course if someone uses AI to generate misinformation and tries to pass it off as factual information they should be held accountable. But it doesn’t seem like anyone did that in this case. Just a journalist putting his name in the AI to see what it generates. Nobody actually spread those results as fact.

All those people can live their lives just fine without seeing political posts on Lemmy.

Their product doesn’t claim to be a source of facts. It’s a generator of human-sounding text. It’s great for that purpose and they’re not liable for people misusing it or not understanding what it does.

It’s otter awareness week, so I guess it’s working.

Whole Foods has been using paper bags for years. And they don’t charge for them either.
