It appears to be a photo taken in Chicago, Illinois. The distinctive skyline, including the Willis (Sears) Tower and the city’s recognizable downtown profile, suggests the picture was snapped along a roadway near the city’s lakefront. The curvature of the road and proximity to Lake Michigan’s shoreline strongly hints that this was taken along (or above) DuSable Lake Shore Drive, facing towards the Loop area and Chicago’s iconic skyline.
But I have zero personal information regarding it.
I mean, this shit should probably just be banned as spam, right? I don’t think it would be acceptable to make posts that are majority bot content under really any other circumstance, and I don’t see why this is really any different. In fact, it would’ve been more effective, and more helpful, to go to, say, google maps, and then just link to where the photo was taken, or maybe go to the wikipedia page for that particular building, or this lakefront, or what have you. That’s on top of how we already have contributors who are able to actually say what this is on firsthand knowledge, rendering this redundant on top of potentially being totally inaccurate.
Why post something mean that doesn’t add to the conversation? I tried to post what I believed what the right answer to the question being asked. You’re mad about where that answer came from.
Check my comment history and you tell me if I’m “looking for negative attention” or if perhaps I was trying to contribute to the community as a whole with what I believed was the right answer.
Say what you’re gonna say. I have no desire for negative attention on the platform. I genuinely don’t know why you even started in on me. Seems like you’re just unhappy or a generally rude individual. Block me if you don’t want to hear what I have to say.
Totally not trying to be rude or have an unhappy attitude, very neutral and woke up not long ago. The AI-only stuff just isn’t what people come to Lemmy for (social-media)? You’ve also confused some points that you’re not accepting.
“with what I believed was the right answer.” There was no way for you to know besides just “having faith”. If you used the AI response to further investigate and add to the conversation by confirming certain aspects or maybe more information you found… well then you’re using the AI as a helpful tool.
Right now, you’re just using AI trying to replace any actual human response with no effort or thought on your part. “But I have zero personal information regarding it.” That last statement is probably why 80% of the downvotes exist. Use it as a tool to educate yourself as a starting point and confirming it’s results (just like math, you check your work).
Apparently you and @daddy32@lemmy.world have missed out on the past few years of hilarious AI responses, misinformation, and general crap those algorithms can spit out. There have been millions of videos and articles explaining the dangers of using AI especially as an informational tool (i.e. Lawyers, coding, education, etc). You’ve decided to completely gloss over it all with no introspection and to use it for your comments lazily. Again, use it as a tool to enhance your comment, not as a replacement for your interaction (you’re literally just a fancy bot at that point).

You may suffer from confirmation bias. Current gen AI produces a lot of those things yet still produces more useful and even factually correct output all the time. In this regard, it is much like google search, debatably useful, more fore some tasks, less for others. Yet you don’t hear calls for burning down the google search, even on lemmy, while you get an universal “AI” hate all the time. It is an imperfect tool yet still very useful, when used correctly. I successfully use it every single day for tasks like quick research of documents, writing automations (successfully!) and other scripts, analyzing data, programming, rewriting my drafts etc. It has really simplified my life. It allows me to do the things (on computer) that I would otherwise have no time or patience or knowledge for. I was already capable of all most of those things, but with this help, I can do much more, more quickly and with less pain. And then I come to lemmy a marvel at the universal hate.
Of course, I don’t write this all to support the idea that we all should just stop writing comments and leave that to ChatGPT. No, that is really lazy. And don’t get me started on yet another push to centralize power in hands of few corpos by trying to keep these tools hidden behind API or a website and stiffing the innovation in their open counterparts.
And of course, having first hand witnesses is better to have just an AI estimation. But it comes out quite stubborn when even the factually correct responses get burned down. With this approach you are closing the doors to genuinely useful tool for yourself. You are missing out.
I think we’re in agreement, I have no real qualms with AI itself. In fact, I view it just like any other tool that takes skill to use properly and get useful results from. I actually look forward to how more accessible things will be when AI is just a background tool and not an over-hype beyond it’s capabilities (a lot of content creators I watch end up using some form of AI).
Your automation’s are being checked, you’re inputting the draft, basic research is started from AI and then expanded on. All completely acceptable uses as a tool. It saves you time, did it really save @TragicNotCute@lemmy.world time to open the AI interface, fill the prompt, then copy paste onto here? Instead of, not replying? It feels exactly like your example of someone doing a google search and then linking the search results, completely unhelpful without a relevant article selected and hopefully an excerpt or “quote” from the relevant information in the article.
We’re on a tiny social network that is trying to gain users. Engagement matters and my response was the only one at the time I posted. I did investigate but I don’t have time to get to a definitive answer which is why I put a disclaimer on it.
It’s fine if you hate AI, it’s fine if you hate my comments. You’re welcome to downvote to oblivion or block me. I was trying to add something to the conversation that didn’t exist. I’m sorry that’s infuriated so many people.
You’re not the one contributing. You’re just taking the answer from something else without having any knowledge on if it’s correct. There’s no reason for it. If that’s all the OP wanted they could have done it themselves. Let someone with actual knowledge answer it, like they have. We don’t need the AI slop.
True, but like you said, other people answered it correctly with first-hand knowledge. We don’t need useless AI garbage that is just as likely to be incorrect. There’s plenty of users with actual knowledge.
By chance, sure. He wouldn’t have known if it wasn’t. Luckily it had a skyline that is often captured in pictures. If that wasn’t there, it’d still answer confidently, but it’d likely be wrong.
ChatGPT says:
But I have zero personal information regarding it.
Don’t come here and just post AI generated garbage. Post your own comments or don’t at all. Nothing to add? Fine, just don’t.

Cool story. I’m gonna keep doing what I please. But thanks for this comment.
ChatGPT says thanks too. :)
Why not just write a bot that posts garbage? It’d be less work.

The worst part, my AI answer is probably right.

If that’s all the OP wanted they could have done it themselves. Let someone with actual knowledge answer it, like they have. We don’t need the AI slop.
Enjoy all the negative attention then. Probably what you wanted.
Looking at other comments it is at least partially correct.
AI is a good tool to use. As long as it has a notice about being AI, I think it adds to the conversation.
True, but like you said, other people answered it correctly with first-hand knowledge. We don’t need useless AI garbage that is just as likely to be incorrect. There’s plenty of users with actual knowledge.
Lol @ the hate. He was factually correct, wasn’t he?
By chance, sure. He wouldn’t have known if it wasn’t. Luckily it had a skyline that is often captured in pictures. If that wasn’t there, it’d still answer confidently, but it’d likely be wrong.
oh man, I stepped in shit
How do I get this crap off?
