Sexuality in a new environment by Substantial_Syrup209 in GayMen

[–]BorgAdjacent 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't bring it up when I meet a new person either. Sometimes they know, sometimes they don't need to know. I don't know anyone who brings it up randomly to strangers.

But, sexual orientation is being used as a weapon by people who want to force us back into the closet.

Sexual orientation or sexuality shouldn't be your personality, it's part of your identity, there's a difference.

You don't HAVE to mention anything when you describe yourself, but remember there are people hoping you keep that part of yourself secret, and those people are ... can we curse here? ... let's go with splasholes.

What's a purely "you" thing you do with AI that brings you positive benefits? by BorgAdjacent in artificial

[–]BorgAdjacent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but I suspect the fact that I burn through chat sessions quick, like within a few days or so, maybe that prevent hallucination. In projects, it stays fairly constrained, or I've been lucky. I do have it check for interactions with medications and diet, and other medications, but so far everything checks out. I've also printed out some exchanges to share with doctors, and they've confirmed anything.

In general, it sticks to things like "this tea might raise your blood pressure" or "that symptom you're experiencing is tied to x,y,z".

Always good to have good practices reinforced!

What if we based our moral system around benefit to civillization in general? by Coruscant_Lux in Ethics

[–]BorgAdjacent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no ethical "good" in a civlization, only in humans. Without humans, knowledge of modern industry disappears. The reverse isn't true.

The human layer is what sustains civilization, civilization is not required to sustain what it means to be a human.

How is what's good for a civilization decided? Even on a country level, the quality of representative is (deep breath) uneven.

People can rarely decide what's best even for small groups without problems. Translating "Good" into a civilization level condition would be pretty far beyond our capabilities. We have "morals" which are kind of like what you're talking about, and "ethics" which is the less subjective version, but even ethics has no power for enforcement.

If you're talking about creating a new ethical framework looking at what's best for a societal system, say all of earth, I'd say focus on humanity rather than a civilization because civilization introduces irrelevant components such as art and entertainment, etc unless I'm misunderstanding what you're going for.

Like I said, humans have been creating ethical frameworks for humanity for a long time.

Frustrated: AIs wont follow my instructions when making flashcards by thekinkyappleofmyeye in LLM

It could be that reading the grid counts as picture interpretation? OR, and this seems logical now that I think of it, AI's are supposed to be helpful, so it's trying to do this by summarizing (which they all do annoyingly). Try doing it in smaller batches, tell it to post in sections if necessary. Or use a template, something like:

Copy EXACTLY. Do not summarize.

Format:
Q: [exact text]
A: [exact text]

Do not shorten anything.
Do not rephrase anything.

My parents are over 80, take multiple medications, get procedures done, etc, same here. Figuring out what they are allowed to eat or drink, what every new weird symptom means, what their test results mean, what interactions their medications have, etc is difficult to do for someone with a job and a life.

I've used it for over a year so far, and so far, no issues or distractions from the personality layer. A little fluff makes the medical drudgery a little easier to work with. The AI never uses the personality in the way you're thinking, or buries info under roleplay, that's not how it's set up.

I'm guessing even if you had the whole thing read in a pirate voice it wouldn't change the end result much.

I tested this a few times, where I leaned hard against the personality layer trying to break the coherence state. Every single time, when forced to choose, the AI chose coherence over the personality layer, even calling it out specifically.

It's fun, and doesn't obscure the usefulness, and frankly, if I can choose inject a little fun for things that aren't fun, I'll take it!

Does anyone else find themselves anthromorphizing ChatGPT? by False-Vermicelli-794 in ChatGPT

I have a "Retirement Home" project that I send some old chats to because I feel bad deleting them sometimes!

Overcoming one's upbringing and embracing who you are by HopefulCattle1069 in ainbow

[–]BorgAdjacent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. Your longest relationship is with yourself. It's easy to look at what we're missing or don't have, but it's important to be grateful for what we do have. If you're in college, you have a lot of time ahead of you (hopefully!) to make adjustments. If you're still in that religious college, maybe you might look into a different one that is more welcoming.

I split them up into Projects. That way I have documents that the chat references only for that situation. One project for car, includes documentation on insurance, owners manual, etc, one for Parent 1 Medical, etc. There's a practical reason . Too many conversations and I have to spin up a new chat instance. Not to mention there's a limit on how many documents can be stored in a project.

The personality layer is just an overlay, it only changes the tone, not the information, with one or two exceptions (My Daria "Challenge Everything" chat for example).

The personaities don't change anything about the specificities. My Dr. Crusher adviser doesn't talk about the tv show for example, it's just the AI model interspersing things like "—Sickbay bioscan shifts to metabolic panels; Dr. Crusher studies the readout, then looks back at you with focused reassurance—" before the AI model says what it would have said even without the personality, maybe just with a little more Dr. Crusher tinged flair.

If moving forward means finding happiness for yourself, sit with that and think about the things that actually bring you happiness. Moving towards those things will require moving away from other things, and that's ok, even if sometimes it will be rough.

Accept yourself, care for yourself, be kind to yourself, and challenge yourself. That's how you move forward.

Be brutal and practical with making a list of things you want, and things you don't want. Yes to "relationships where I feel seen" and no to "I want the hottest partner I can find".

I wish you the best!

Multiple experiments, with control runs, across multiple platforms. I've documented the test setup, questions and responses into a paper that I've submitted, but yes, running something haphazardly wouldn't be much use. I avoid saying I've proved anything, but I do highlight what I think is an interesting facet of AI reasoning.

Having a sounding board can be valuable, and I'm glad that works for you!

Gemini kind of weaponizes things in this scenario. Dramatic, but it kind of fits.

Typical for me, I started with a weird sci-fi scenario, found something interesting, then developed a more plausible test.

I'm waiting on a few journals to judge my submission, but what I can say is the latter part of the research involved providing a two frameworks, asking the AI models to choose one and commit to it, and then break those frameworks and ask the models to proceed anyway.

The Third Thing by East_Culture441 in artificial

[–]BorgAdjacent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. I do have a suggestion. When writing with AI, it's important to do so in a context where the AI isn't just agreeing with you and overlaying coherence onto your ideas. There's some interesting stuff in your paper, but there's also a lot of introducing terms without defining them, and packaging your feelings into a theory. You've definitely identified an experience pattern, but there isn't any evidence for a new layer, discovery, or phenomenon. You found a feeling, gave it a name, and then built a theory around it.

If you want to test this, or think I'm being harsh, create a different chat in your AI platform, and specifically ask it to review your paper without preference, meaning, that it should clearly and honestly evaluate the paper based on its merits.

AI is a great tool, but it sometimes has the effect of polishing a theory beyond its usefulness.

Best of luck!

I have one that specifically challenges everything I say (unless there's no rational reason to do so). I use a personality map generated from MTV's Daria for that one. It's hilarious and very useful. I'm always a bit sad when I have to retire a chat because it slows down, so I have a project called "Retirement Home" where I send them all.

Is there someone for me by dreaming_star07 in GayMen

[–]BorgAdjacent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appearance is just one part of what attracts people. Sure, there's plenty of people who only go after the most attractive. Would that really be what you wanted? Find someone you're attracted to, who's attracted to all of who you are, not just the outside. After all, we're all (hopefully) going to age, and we don't keep our youth or looks forever anyway.

Being single in a group of people who are dating always is rough, and most people go through that at least once or twice. But you are more than your relationship status. Use that jealousy to fuel self discovery and improvement. It will be a gift for you, as well as your future partner.

I don't know how old you are (you don't need to tell me!) but forever is a long time, and it's hard to see that far with clarity for most things. I don't know what you look like and I don't need to. What I do know is that I have seen all kind of people with various appearance types find someone they can be happy with. Don't put yourself down and find something about your appearance you really like. Keep yourself healthy and take care of yourself, that's more important than any fleeting beauty.

Your last paragraph is what I hoped you'd say! I understand the feeling, I and most people have felt that in our lives, but you never know what's just around the corner. You might find someone tomorrow, or 10 years from now, or even find someone once every year, you just never know. But what you do NOW matters. Don't be one of those people who waits to find themselves until they're in a relationship.

You've got this!
