It’s called HAI “Human Artificial Intelligence”
Back in the days of usenet if I had a Linux problem I would carefully research the issue while composing a post asking how to solve it. I needed to make sure I covered every possible option so that people would know just how odd the problem was and that I had taken every reasonable step to fix it. And this was how I hardly ever had to post anything because this process almost always found the answer.
In programming we use a rubber ducky for this
i wanted to try this, but i only got a hard plastic duck
well that should work, unless you are the infamous reddit user, fuckswithducks, in which case it might also work.
nah, my reddit username was Unidan and i only fucked with crows
Ineresting, will make a good topic for my next offline podcast (talking to my frinds without a microphone).
Rubby ducky on desk (Millenials, look up the “Rubber ducky debugging”)
or
AI chat bot burning 400 million KWh a day as well as pumping out millions of BTUs of heat into the atmosphere so that “line go up”Who would win
They have bumbled backwards into a new flavor of rubber duck debugging. Considering the likelihood of a rubber duck bullshitting you, I know which I’ll be interrogating.
Doesn’t have anything to do with AI. This is normal in any context where you’re asking another party for help.
But sure, people who use AI have never considered thinking before /s
They are 10y behind, I discovered thinking while 12y old and have been igoring it for 20y. Comes handy in a pinch, leaving all others mindblown.
“Correct question is half of answer”
Yea I sometimes use LLM chatbots as a rubber duck.
