Thank you for the feedback, I will increase the font weight.

I'd say not great for societal well-being. I'd say it's preying on the lonely. Even with a thinly personified system prompt, some models will suddenly start calling you "babe" and be generally hyper-flirtatious.

The most optimistic light you could shine on it is: let's make an assistant that responds like a human, tells you when you're being weird, tells you when you're wrong, etc.

Loved that TED talk, thanks for sharing!

Hey folks! Long-time lurker here. I posted my first piece of content on what I've learned building in the conversational AI space. I'd love your thoughts on what I got wrong, if/how it was useful, general comments, etc. Thank you for taking the time.

Something like prison probably is the most productive environment one could be in. It almost completely eliminates the need for self discipline because it's all enforced.

Have people noticed the ai-assisted code "creep"? Cursor now by default applies its changes before you've even hit accept, and the tab autocomplete is getting out of control. Sometimes I'll have my cursor resting on some block of code, then suddenly Cursor suggests I delete the whole thing.

I'd love to know at what rate the long essay questions are read. Maybe we get to a point where applicants have AI write them and then no one reads them!
