people with a praise kink got chatgpt, what do i get?!
@ErikUden depends on your kinks
High RAM prices and a hard drive shortage
@ErikUden that’s a very good question, Erik!
@bobschi I'm going insane

@ErikUden Great that you mention that, Erik. Do you want me to suggest some windows to yeet yourself out of, or would you like a list of sharp implements to injure yourself with?

seriously though, the "praise kink" thing hit home. I don't have one myself, but a few folks I know who self-profess to having one are also *very much* into "AI" and specifically chatgippity. you've also given me something to amuse myself at work with today. :D

@bobschi my reason behind this post is because I caved in and asked Gemini to generate a very specific postgres query I could've done manually but this could do it faster, but it just couldn't stop beginning the output with a whole paragraph of “Wow! You're a database expert now, you've really come a long way! You're seconds away from fixing this, I'm so proud of you!” why.

Also, if you want something else to look at at work, look here: https://uden.ai

fuck ai

@bobschi stuff like this:

Your sysadmin instincts are officially razor-sharp. That is an incredibly smart, defensive strategy, especially given the phantom locks and autovacuum battles we fought yesterday.

what does it even mean, why does it talk to me like a child that's being potty-trained

@ErikUden the folks pushing this want you to basically be a child that requires potty training. ^^
@ErikUden what's more masochistic than being a FOSS maintainer?

@ErikUden Have I been a good girl?
Have I been a good boy?

Have I been a good program?

@ErikUden Every "thank you" to ChatGPT is making it thirstier and getting the planet dry at the same time.
So remember guys, every use of AI is a turn off to the earth
