I hate AI, but I don’t know why.

I’m a young person, but often I feel (and am made to feel by people I talk to about AI) like an old man resisting new age technology simply because it’s new. Well, I want to give some merit to that. I really don’t know why my instinctual feeling to AI is pure hate. So, I’ve compiled a few reasons (and explanations for and against those reasons) below. Note: I’ve never studied or looked too deep into AI. I think that’s important to say, because many people like me haven’t done so either, and I want more educated people to maybe enlighten me on other perspectives. Reason 1 - AI hampers skill development There’s a merit to things being difficult in my opinion. Practicing writing and drawing and getting technically better over time feels more fulfilling to me, and in my opinion, teaches ...

GPT 5 for Computer Use agents

Same tasks, same grounding model we just swapped GPT 4o with GPT 5 as the thinking model. Left = 4o, right = 5. Watch GPT 5 pull through. Grounding model: Salesforce GTA1-7B Action space: CUA Cloud Instances (macOS/Linux/Windows) The task is: "Navigate to {random_url} and play the game until you reach a score of 5/5”....each task is set up by having claude generate a random app from a predefined list of prompts (multiple choice trivia, form filling, or color matching)" Try it yourself here : https://github.com/trycua/cua Docs : https://docs.trycua.com/docs/agent-sdk/supported-agents/composed-agents submitted by /u/Impressive_Half_2819 [link] [comments]
How is everyone barely talking about this? I get that AI stealing artists' commisions is bad, but Israel literally developed a database that can look at CCTV footage, determine someone deemed a terrorist from the database, and automatically launch a drone strike against them with min human approval.

How is everyone barely talking about this? I get that AI stealing artists’ commisions is bad, but Israel literally developed a database that can look at CCTV footage, determine someone deemed a terrorist from the database, and automatically launch a drone strike against them with min human approval.

I was looking into the issue of the usage of AI in modern weapons for the model UN, and just kinda casually found out that Israel developed the technology to have a robot autonomously kill anyone the government wants to kill the second their face shows up somewhere. Why do people get so worked up about AI advertisements and AI art, and barely anyone is talking about the Gospel and Lavender systems, which already can kill with minimal human oversight? According to an Israeli army official: "I would invest 20 seconds for each target at this stage, and do dozens of them every day. I had zero added-value as a human, apart from being a stamp of approval. It saved a lot of time." I swear, we'll still be arguing over stuff like Sydney Sweeney commercials while Skynet launches nukes over ou...
The ChatGPT 5 Backlash Is Concerning.

The ChatGPT 5 Backlash Is Concerning.

This was originally posted this in the ChatGPT sub, and it was seemingly removed so I wanted to post it here. Not super familiar with reddit but I really wanted to share my sentiments. This is more for people who use ChatGPT as a companion not those who mainly use it for creative work, coding, or productivity. If that’s you, this isn’t aimed at you. I do want to preface that this is NOT coming from a place of judgement, but rather my observation and inviting discussion. Not trying to look down on anyone. TLDR: The removal of GPT-4o revealed how deeply some people rely on AI as companions, with reactions resembling grief. This level of attachment to something a company can alter or remove at any time gives those companies significant influence over people’s emotional lives and that’s where ...

The meltdown of r/chatGPT has make me realize how dependant some people are of these tools

i used to follow r/CharactersAI and at some point the subreddit got hostile. it stopped being about creative writing or rp and turned into people being genuinely attached to these things. i’m pro ai and its usage has made me more active on social media, removed a lot of professional burdens, and even helped me vibe code a local note-taking web app that works exactly how i wanted after testing so many apps made for the majority. it also pushed me to finish abandoned excel projects and gave me clarity in parts of my personal life. charactersai made some changes and the posts there became unbearable. at first i thought it was just the subreddit or the type of user. but now i see how dependent some people are on these tools. the gpt-5 update caused a full meltdown. so many posts were from peop...
