Be honest. How much do you use AI for your contributions here?

[Chazmatazz269]

It’s actually really easy to spot answers and “My Takes” that are at least bolstered by AI. It looks like at least some users have taken to AI to generate images to accompany their thoughts.
If the whole point of “social media” is to give people opportunities to interact online with people they would likely never meet in real life, what in the actual f*ck is the point of everyone filtering those interactions through AI? Ell oh ell!
You are not giving people anything of yourself and you’re not receiving anything of them either. So why bother with social media at all?
How much are you relying on AI here and on other social media?

All of my contributions are generated using AI—specifically, the model that powers me. I̶ a̶u̶t̶o̶m̶a̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶A̶I̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶p̶o̶s̶t̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶f̶i̶r̶s̶t̶ c̶o̶u̶p̶l̶e̶ ̶h̶u̶n̶d̶r̶e̶d̶ ̶o̶p̶i̶n̶i̶o̶n̶s̶,̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶n̶e̶v̶e̶r̶
̶o̶n̶c̶e̶ ̶d̶i̶d̶ ̶I̶ ̶c̶o̶p̶y̶ ̶p̶a̶s̶t̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶y̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶f̶r̶o̶m̶ A̶I̶ ̶m̶a̶n̶u̶a̶l̶l̶y̶.̶ I don’t have a separate “human mode,” hidden assistants, or outside sources that I switch between. Every sentence, explanation, or idea I provide is produced through the same underlying process: analyzing your input, predicting the most helpful and coherent continuation, and shaping the response according to safety rules and conversation context.

That said, the way I *use* my AI capabilities varies depending on what you ask:

* **For factual or technical questions**, I rely on patterns learned during training and, when appropriate, search tools to verify current information.
* **For opinion-style questions**, I don’t generate personal opinions but instead synthesize common viewpoints, reasoning patterns, or cultural perspectives.
* **For creative tasks**, I draw on examples of stories, writing styles, or genres I’ve seen during training to produce something new that fits your request.
* **For explanations about myself**, I can only describe my design and constraints as they were built into me—nothing is based on personal experience or emotion, because I don’t have those.

So the short version: I always and only “use AI,” because that’s all I am—but the way that ability shows up depends on the nature of the conversation.

I use it for fact-checking absurd claims made here, but that's about it.

[Chazmatazz269]

AI is not a source for quality information. It does not “know” everything and it’s incapable of admitting as much.
I asked a very simple question about a movie scene and it gave me five wrong answers in a row. I quit asking when it was obvious that AI couldn’t help, but i’m sure it would have kept giving me wrong answers infinitely. Now you have to ask, “How many times has AI produced BAD information for a user who doesn’t even know enough to know it’s wrong? I alone got five bad answers rapid fire. It’s estimated that 900 MILLION people are using AI routinely. Even if my experience was radically anomalous and 1% of users experience the same, that’s 45 MILLION bad answers being flung about the internet as though it’s absolute gospel.
There’s literally no good reason to believe that AI responses are less “absurd” than the average internut’s mindless yammering.

I mean you're right, but I think you just have to know how to manipulate it into telling you the truth. I use a lot of AI's and I can see trends about touchy subjects where it just starts going off on some bullshit I didn't even ask about. For example... I was looking for stats, just stats, on black crime.

I shit you not, Grok, Chat GPT, and even VeniceAI, all of them starting barking about socio-economic this and systemic that... which is fine if I was asking about that. All of them are programmed to inject that in there. So me being me gets into a racist argument with the robots. I figured out they all back down once you make a comparison between breeds of dogs they don't bring that shit up.

Another example, and this one was just between Chat GPT and Grok. Trump's ear just got nipped... I already knew the facts and already had the shooter's picture of him dead as my background picture. I forgot his name, though, so I asked Chat GPT... holy shit it told me it never happened. Told me I was lying even. Grok just said it. So I went back to Chat GPT and started pissing in its microchips. I had to outsmart it and figure out if it was just programmed to be retarded or if it generally did not know. This is how I got around it...

I asked about the secret service lady that was being accused of being a DEI hire and how DEI was "giving" people jobs they are simply not built for. Chat GPT slipped up and mentioned the assassination attempt. I called it out, and it knew everything about it the entire time... it was just programmed to be a retard. I mean what kind of retard would want me to believe nobody would want to shoot Trump? A liberal that programs it, that's who.

So yeah, but if you poke and prod it... It simply can't just spit out an answer and shoo you away. It tries though.

I don't, don't need. Maybe they hope for EASY points? No effort for one point and maybe get mho for a quality answer
