AI slop + several variations of the same AI slop generated with similar inputs found online + cliche joke + missing punctuation in a speech bubble + nonsensical use of “POV” + encouraging personification of machinery
I feel like this entire “thank you” story related to chatgpt is there just to sell the AI hype.
Obviously “thank you” and similar should yield a preprogrammed response not wasting resources.
But by letting it waste resources Sam Altman and others can support the narrative that this might in the future save us, because the current path of LLMs could lead to AGI. This in turn leads to more investments
Ironically, saying thank you to machines is wasting energy and costing millions.
Beavers said in the memo that generative AI also mirrors the levels of professionalism, clarity and detail in the prompts you provide. Beavers added that being polite to your AI chatbot “not only ensures you get the same graciousness in return, but it also improves the AI’s responsiveness and performance.”
And I specifically want them to be curt, the wordy faux friendliness sucks
On the one hand, this is AI art which I don’t support. On the other hand this is a meme that was made by wasting resources from an AI company that directly states you should say “thank you” to AI models which is even further waste of resources for AI companies.
On the third hand this is killing the environment.
So humanity in a nutshell?
I’m kinda okay with it this time because the comic is about AI and it adds a layer to the joke.
