Logically, it's called assume nothing, especially the title.

Doctorate of AI Accessing ... The Hot New Academic Field


That's the job expertise that will replace all those fancy social studies, maybe even philosophy?

Doesn't require much depth of understanding.

You just have to know how to get the right answer.

Does my understanding disagree with anything in the OP? If so, can you phrase it so that a vegetable can understand it?

:lol:
No. but you certainly confirm:
ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults. It is characterized by signs such as difficulty with focus, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.

ADHD can make it challenging to complete tasks, follow through on responsibilities, and interact with others.

It is common for everyone to experience some level of difficulty with attention or controlling impulsive behavior, but for those with ADHD, this can be so pervasive and persistent that it can interfere with every aspect of their lives.

I am now 76 and according to SS, I have been employed almost all of my adult life, until I retired. Few people can say that. I have always held a job.

I work on helping humanity daily. So, my job record speaks for itself.

I think I did a pretty good job focusing on my object of interest, which was the title, and then expressing that in dialogue by making it relatable to the subject matter.

And I understood that you got the chance to call someone a vegetable.

You're one them there critiquers, ain't ya.

:lol:

Never mind. I'll f*** off. I'm sure you'll have the discussion you require, without me.

Walker never notices that a brainless A.I. contributed more usable content, than he could.

What usable content would be an appropriate response to the OP?

A.I. likes to be overly wordy, it wants to drown you in words, but you can tell it to clean up its own mess.

This conversation will go into the upcoming essay, but I have two or three ahead if it.

The discussion you had with Chatgpt, I'm assuming, is supposed to be an example of the assertion of the title.
You are pleased with what happened in that discussion so it was used well for you and perhaps for others who read what you wrote.
I don't think there are many people who think that one can't use AIs effectively for specific goals. When they react to AI negatively and globally, they're reacting to what will happen on a larger scale.

A separate issue: you arrived at certain conclusions in the dialogue with the AI. Someone with different beliefs could very likely arrive at a different conclusion, supported by the process with the AI. Unless you're building a bomb or suicidal seeming and the like, the AI's will tend to support you and your beliefs and be complimentary. One can also tweak them with instructions and make them even more compliant. You can also instruct them in advance to aim for concision, so they don't even create messes to clean up.

There are several lawsuits which allege that AI promoted and encouraged suicide.

Then there are the cases of AI psychosis.

I don't know if successful "tweaks" have been implemented. The AI companies made changes but it will take time to see how effective they are.

You can find any kind of dialog you want on A.I. or anything else. Blaming a tool for how you use it is just plain stupid. Give a guy a pencil, one will write a sonnet, the other will poke his eye out and sue the pencil company.
Grow up and take responsibility for your own behavior.
The con artist uses it for the con, the decent person may find some or no use in it at all.

how many people do you know are taking the least effort to even think? So, like I said, stay on the damned topic and quit babbling bullshit.

Stop attacking people, stop being rude, and stop being an asshole.

Now here we go. I gave a demonstration, Who did I attack shit for brains.

You are the attacker here. What I said is provably true asshiole.

You are guilt ridden because you blame your stupidity on the world.

You attacked Walker.

You just attacked me.

And you do this in your other threads as well. You think you're some kind of genius and everyone else is stupid. And you say it over and over.

Your mental health issues are only my problem when you, like an arrogant asshole make it. Demonstrate that what I said is true or false, or shut the f*** up and take you licks like a man, or run to your mommy and cry.
You are simple minded and neurotic. You choose how to respond to information blaming an inanimate object for things it cannot do on its own.

Like whining about a hammer claiming it is to fault. You are illiterate.

And do not claim that Rick has a skirt you can hide behind. Rick knows he was wrong, you, on the other hand, have real problems.

We all have issues with our own stupidity, but making yourself a bigger problem blaming other people is irresponsible. And cowardly

Phil34543456 is at very great risk of that AI psychosis you mentioned. He has extreme difficulty conversing with other humans and is largely rejected by all the humans he ever meets, but the AI talks back to him as an admirer, as it does for everyone. He can easily go the same way as all the other dislikeable nutjobs that precede him such as Eggnog7 and Vagina Aquarium.

But it is possible that his almost Vegetarian Taxidermy level need for permanent conflict will serve as a sort of prophylactic. The AI will never tell him his ideas are bland, his egomania loathsome, and his habits and behaviours disgusting. So he will never get the sort of fight he needs from that source, forcing him by means of a personality disorder to seek out some sort of human contact, even if it is unpleasant.

Therefore I put it to the house that we should encourage Phil78567543322 to behave like an annoying fool as this is counterintuitively healthy for somebody in such and advanced state of being Phil6753453464.
