“hey, did you use AI to make this? we can’t accept things made using AI.”
my brother in christ, that question makes no sense.
you woke up and unlocked your phone with AI-powered face recognition, checked your email that was filtered for spam by AI, read messages with AI-generated reply suggestions, typed with AI autocorrect and predictive text, listened to music recommended by AI, and then took a photo of your breakfast that was automatically denoised, sharpened, HDR-merged, color-corrected and enhanced by AI.
then you ordered lunch through an app that ranked restaurants with AI, estimated the delivery time with AI, optimized the driver's route with AI, and predicted demand to set prices with... guess what? AI.
you then went to work so you opened google and got AI-generated summaries. you translated a sentence with AI and then you edited a photo and a video with AI object selection and content-aware fill. then you had your first meeting (it's 10am already) and joined a zoom call with AI noise suppression, AI echo cancellation, AI background blur, AI live captions, and... AI speaker framing. you then wrote code (well, not really, you accepted code the AI wrote for you). after all the hard work you decided to then watched netflix and youtube because an AI decided what to show you and you paid for that service using a credit card with AI monitoring your transactions for fraud. then you ordered a Waymo, which is literally a car driven by AI, and walked past an AI-powered security camera.
Did I use AI? Of course, unless you live in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle you are using AI every single day.
But yes, absolutely, let's draw the sacred moral line at some completely random place.
An internal version of our next major model produced 10 new results on long-standing open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science, using roughly $2,000 worth of tokens at GPT-5.6 Sol API rates.
This is a good conversation to have actually. Internally I feel the same, is it maybe because we are having to now compete with others who are using AI to produce more volume efficiently? As a result of more efficient markets, humans, in order to compete have to work harder? Seems like this solution created a new problem.
Do you know all of the ingredients in the water you drink or shower in? What about all of the ingredients in the air you breathe? Regardless of not knowing the additives or pollution ratios, you still drink and breathe right? See the ridiculousness in my response? Does it help you see your own?
@C_3C_3 This seems like a recurring theme down the healthcare pipeline over the last 20 years. It is scary to not know what to trust as a human anymore..
Hi Charles, I suppose if you feel I’m as sloppy as AI, then my intellectual capacity must be larger than most humans. Well, considering the large research breakthrough from last week. Also, that would be based off of your assumption as well. lol. Why are humans like you with your huge opinions so judgmental, grandiose, and highly educated on AI Slop? Was this reply AI Slop as well? Asking for a friend, Sincerely..
@blueslide7777@PL67712441 It’s Josh, but that’s okay, no worries. Some individuals make mistakes with names, opinions, and criticism all of the time. No hard feelings here pal 🫡
The quote is real, but the context matters: Fauci was discussing someone who had just recovered from confirmed influenza during the 2004 vaccine shortage, not arguing that intentionally catching every virus is preferable to vaccination. Natural infection can create strong immunity, but it comes with the risks of the disease itself, and flu viruses continually change, which is why annual vaccination is still recommended.
