Yeah but that applies to social media as well. Or, idk, amphetamine. Or fucking weed. Even meditation. Which are all still there, some more regulated than others. But that’s not what you’re getting at, your point is AI chatbots = bad and I just don’t agree with that.

So we know that in certain cases, using chatbots as a substitute for therapy can lead to increased suffering, increases risk of harm to self and others, and amplifies symptoms of certain diagnosis. Does this mean we know it couldn’t be helpful in certain cases? No. You ingested the exact same logic corpos have with LLMs, which is “just throw it at everything”, and you seem to not notice you apply it the same way they do.

We might have enough data at some point to assess what kinds of people could benefit from “chatbot therapy” or something along those lines. Don’t get me wrong, I’d prefer we could provide more and better therapy/healthcare in general to people, and that we had less systemic issues for which therapy is just a bandage.

it’s worse than nothing

Yes, in total. But not necessarily in particular. That’s a big difference.

I also feel like Morrowind doesn’t translate over to a Skyrim-style gameplay nearly as well as Oblivion does

Because Oblivion was arguably Skyrim-style gameplay already; not much to translate there.

If i recall correctly the Skywind team said on stream they have roughly 2-3 times the volume of written and spoken dialogue compared to edit: either Skyeim or Oblivion.

I agree though, I think there’s an argument to be made that Morrowind in its entirety is perfect as it is, but that’s why I’m looking forward to it even more than to Skyblivion. Really curious what they are cookin

If there’s a better way to share a reddit post without giving them clicks let me know and I’ll edit my link.

There’s redlib and its instances, but as with YouTube links and piped/invidious, I prefer the original link and think it should always be present. https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib

Lazy people can just replace www. with safe on their own and they’re good, so https://safereddit.com/r/....

tl;dr AI companies are slowly running out of data to train their models; synthetic data is not a viable alternative.

I can’t remember where I saw it, but someone somewhere on YouTube suspected the next step for OpanAI and such would be to collect user data directly; recording conversations of users and using that data to train models further.

If I find the vid I will add a link here.
