No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I've tried several types of artificial intelligence including Gemini, Microsoft co-pilot, chat GPT. A lot of the times I ask them questions and they get everything wrong. If artificial intelligence doesn't work why are they trying to make us all use it?

It's understandable to feel frustrated when AI systems give incorrect or unsatisfactory responses. Despite these setbacks, there are several reasons why AI continues to be heavily promoted and integrated into various technologies:

  1. Potential and Progress: AI is constantly evolving and improving. While current models are not perfect, they have shown incredible potential across a wide range of fields, from healthcare to finance, education, and beyond. Developers are working to refine these systems, and over time, they are expected to become more accurate, reliable, and useful.

  2. Efficiency and Automation: AI can automate repetitive tasks and increase productivity. In areas like customer service, data analysis, and workflow automation, AI has proven valuable by saving time and resources, allowing humans to focus on more complex and creative tasks.

  3. Enhancing Decision-Making: AI systems can process vast amounts of data faster than humans, helping in decision-making processes that require analyzing patterns, trends, or large datasets. This is particularly beneficial in industries like finance, healthcare (e.g., medical diagnostics), and research.

  4. Customization and Personalization: AI can provide tailored experiences for users, such as personalized recommendations in streaming services, shopping, and social media. These applications can make services more user-friendly and customized to individual preferences.

  5. Ubiquity of Data: With the explosion of data in the digital age, AI is seen as a powerful tool for making sense of it. From predictive analytics to understanding consumer behavior, AI helps manage and interpret the immense data we generate.

  6. Learning and Adaptation: Even though current AI systems like Gemini, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Co-pilot make mistakes, they also learn from user interactions. Continuous feedback and training improve their performance over time, helping them better respond to queries and challenges.

  7. Broader Vision: The development of AI is driven by the belief that, in the long term, AI can radically improve how we live and work, advancing fields like medicine (e.g., drug discovery), engineering (e.g., smarter infrastructure), and more. Developers see its potential as an assistive technology, complementing human skills rather than replacing them.

Despite their current limitations, the goal is to refine AI to a point where it consistently enhances efficiency, creativity, and decision-making while reducing errors. In short, while AI doesn't always work perfectly now, the vision for its future applications drives continued investment and development.

We shall see. The above feels like an AI reponse.

I'm 80% sure this reply was written by an AI. Right now pretty much all it can do is tell people to eat rocks, claim you can leave dogs in hot cars, and starve artists.

Only ChatGPT is obsessed with bullet points like this. I'm pretty damn sure this is an LLM response
