Hopefully this is the right place to ask, but I'm generally curious if my personal usage of AI does any harm to myself or not. To explain how I use it, I mostly use ChatGPT for things. This would include help with job searching, help with solving problems like on games or technology, and using it to brainstorm about ideas. Sometimes I like to just have conversations with the AI about random topics and ask it for their perspectives as if it were sentient/sapient. And from those, I can learn new information. I've heard that using AI can apparently cause a reduction in cognitive function in a person, but I don't know exactly how it happens or if it's just purely from using AI overall, or if it comes from how it's used. Hearing this has made me worried on whether or not the way I use AI would be harmful to myself and my own brain. I don't use AI for art or ask it to do things for me unless I'm trying to learn a new skill with its help, which should be okay right? What do y'all think of this? Edit: I forgot to mention that I also have used Polybuzz in recent months or last year talking to certain characters, I'd like to hear thoughts on this as well. submitted by /u/Kotal_total [link] [留言]

So I’ve been using Ai as an art tutor I give it my own art and I review it on how’d I’d look colored a certain way, and how best to detail and shade, as well as a sorta 2d model I can have rotated and view at different angles to get a feel for the shapes and such this is how Ai should be used to teach and improve not to outright replace, it’s like Siri submitted by /u/Intelligent-Fig-1755 [link] [留言]

I was just thinking about the difference between an LLMs capacity for theory of mind and a human's capacity for theory of mind, and I realize it gets at the heart of what differentiates an LLM from human, and that's the method of how we gather information. LLMs are based on objective data, e.g. text, numbers, pixels, etc. Whereas we as humans, use subjective information, e.g., feelings, sensations, experiences; as well as objective data. Within cognitive science, this would be described as affective empathy vs cognitive empathy. Or in other words, LLMs simply possess a cognitive theory of mind, whereas we have both a cognitive *and* affective theory of mind. The problem I have with figures like Hinton, who claim that AI is already conscious, is that his whole framework is based on the idea that consciousness (subjective experience) is just an artifact of computation (an illusion), and therefore there is no recognition of subjective measure - that reality is only defined by what we can measure objectively (with fixed metrics). I think what this fails to recognize is that in pursuit of reproducible results, which requires fixed metrics, we've thrown out a whole set of other measurements, which is subjective (variable). submitted by /u/flasticpeet [link] [留言]

Been experimenting with AI-generated UGC. This whole clip — the face, the voice, the walk — is generated (I used omnigems.ai). No camera, no actor. What surprised me is the "tells" are mostly gone now if you keep the lighting candid (no studio polish), add real skin texture, and let there be natural micro-motion. Studio-perfect is what reads as fake; messy/handheld reads as real. Posting because I'm curious where this community draws the line: is AI UGC fair game for ads, or does \ undisclosed** AI cross into sketchy territory? Happy to share the exact workflow if it's useful to anyone. submitted by /u/New_Measurement_6962 [link] [留言]

I've been spending a lot of time experimenting with AI filmmaking tools lately, and I've noticed something that feels a bit odd. Most AI video tools seem to be built around generating clips: Text → Video Image → Video Start Frame → End Frame But when I think about how films are actually made, the process usually starts with: Screenplay → Characters → Locations → Storyboard → Shots → Film It feels like there's a gap between how filmmakers think about projects and how AI video tools are currently designed. For example, while working on my ai video, I don't really think in terms of generating isolated clips. I'm thinking about scenes, character continuity, locations, visual references, storyboards, and how everything fits together. Maybe I'm wrong, but it sometimes feels like AI tools are optimizing for clip generation while filmmakers are optimizing for story development and visual planning. Do others here feel the same way? How are you currently bridging the gap between screenplay and AI-generated video? submitted by /u/data-gig [link] [留言]

If you ask it to create a recipe, you can click plus and minus buttons to change the amount of portions. You can connect it to other apps like canva. It hallucinates WAY less, and it explains ilvery clearly. submitted by /u/OkComputer_13 [link] [留言]

I have been experimenting with LLMs to see how well they navigate highly cross-referenced texts like the Bible. Standard models often hallucinate verses or lose historical context. To try and fix this, I built a free app called Biblians (no ads, no paywalls). I built it specifically for people who have questions they might hesitate to ask in person, or who simply want a 1-click way to explain a verse. While testing it, I discovered a fascinating denominational bias that is still lingering and changes depending entirely on the language you use: In English: It is Protestant-leaning. It praises Luther, saying things like, "Martin Luther sought to return the Church to the truth of God's Word." In Spanish, French, or Portuguese: It is Catholic-leaning. It condemns Luther's actions, stating: "...trajo confusión..." (...brought confusion...). Has anyone else noticed how drastically the training data changes the core bias based on the language prompted? I would love for this community to test the app, look for other linguistic biases, or just try to break the AI's logic. You can experiment with it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.biblians.app Let me know what weird outputs you get! submitted by /u/Snorlax_lax [link] [留言]

OK.. so I've had this reasonable PC sitting under my desk for ages.. NOT working because of some reason or other. But it was my baby as is housed in a lovely Soprano DX silver brushed case. SO, I swapped out the old HDD for a couple of SSDs (a couple of mirrored OS disks and a large 2TB storage disk) I swapped out the Nvidia 780ti graphics card for a couple of OG Nvidia 1080ti's. I pulled the whole thing to bits.. repasted the northbridge chip, southbridge chip and central CPU. Upgraded the fans to push pull the CPU heatsink. Wrapped ALL cables in mesh and it's so lovely now. Installed Windows 10 Pro. Installed the Nvidia App. Installed CrystalDiskInfo and all is sweet 😄 EXCEPT... I'd like to use this old bangin box for an HG AI server... now I have read that ALL LLMs need this thing called AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions) I didn't even know that was a THING! So even though I have 22Gb worth of GPU sitting there that I was going to point everything to, because I have a lame ass QX6700 CPU sitting on a kickass D975XBX2 (BadAxe2) main board I CAN NOT fulfill my wish for this OG box to be a headless source of awesomeness sitting in it's home under my desk supplying me with a home grown AI. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?!?!?! Surely after all this time of parts getting munched by AI farms a plenty people have been using what's around to do what they will... Does anyone know of anything I can do apart from just look at it running at 25 degrees aircooled humming along so lovely... it NEEDS purpose!!! 😄 Cheers and thanks all NB submitted by /u/Independent-Sound196 [link] [留言]

10 year senior dev, vibe coded this in 4 weeks and counting. Something like this would have taken me a year+ before and ive always been a 10x dev. I built this along side my day job (gov contractor dev). Feel free to check it out! https://imgur.com/a/F6OINKR⁠ Game Title: Roguelite MMO Playable Link: https://roguelite-mmo.com/⁠ Platform: PC / Web Description: Roguelite MMO is a browser-based RPG/MMO project built around dungeon runs, exploration, gear progression, PvP, quests, loot, and character building. The game is still in beta and active development, with the latest update adding new side activities and progression options. Latest update: The new Casino is now live, giving players more ways to spend gold, take risks, and chase rewards between dungeon runs and exploration. Horse racing and horse taming have also been added. Players can race horses, bet on races, and work toward collecting better horses over time. Fishing is now available too, adding a more relaxed activity with its own rewards while exploring the world. The core loop is still being refined, but the current focus is making sure players understand what they earned, where important items come from, what to do next, and whether the early gameplay loop feels worth continuing after the first few minutes.

I had a work version of GPT do a very simple spreadsheet summary task for me yesterday. It took it 5 minutes to do it. I could probably have done it myself in 30 or so minutes. The heavily subsidised token cost of that task? 10 dollars. That's with a 10x subsidy. The actual compute cost was about 100 dollars. There's something seriously wrong there. It's going to crash and crash HARD. if people think i'm lying or are just interested. The spreadsheet had 45 sheets. Each sheet had roughly 500 x 50 populated cells. Formatting was not exactly standard across all sheets. The prompt was something like "there is labelled column in each sheet, give me a simple list of all the items from all the sheets in that column and ignore duplicates." We can chose which model to use. The model I chose was one of the newer ones, I honestly can't remember which one, possibly GPT 5.5. It took 5 minutes or more to so and the stated cost for the task was 10 dollars, possibly even more. I can't recall the token amount. submitted by /u/Complete-Sea6655 [link] [留言]

so i kept using chatgpt to ask questions about my pdfs and notes, and half the time i couldn't tell if it actually read the doc or just made something up that sounded right. that bugged me enough to build my own thing over the last few weeks. you upload a pdf (or word, csv, image, or just paste a link), ask whatever you want, and it answers using only what's in your file - and it shows the exact page it pulled the answer from, so you can check. if the answer isn't in the doc, it just tells you instead of guessing. stuff i actually end up using: flip on web search when i want it to look something up online instead one click to turn a doc into a summary / key points / flashcards (this is clutch for studying) resume review + cover letter help you can talk to it and it reads the answer back it's completely free, i'm not selling anything. honestly just want people to break it and tell me what's missing. link: https://athena-wisdom.vercel.app (there's a short guide on the site too if you get stuck) solo project so be gentle lol - but real feedback is what i'm after, especially what you'd want it to do next. submitted by /u/Independent_Diver352 [link] [留言]

Just shipped this project and wanted to share the full technical breakdown because hotel/hospitality AI doesn't get much attention compared to the usual chatbot and SaaS use cases. The client manages 500 hotel properties. Their support team was manually handling around 15,000 guest emails per day. Same questions over and over across hundreds of hotels but each one still needed a human to read it, understand it, find the answer, and reply. Here's how the system works end to end: Layer 1: Email ingestion and question extraction This was the hardest part. Guest emails are messy. A typical one looks like: "Hi there, we're coming for our anniversary on the 20th and I was wondering if you have any room upgrades available. Also is the spa open to guests or do we need to book separately? We're driving so need to know about parking too. Last time we stayed the wifi was a bit slow in our room, has that been fixed? Thanks!" That's four separate questions plus a complaint wrapped in one email. If you just embed the whole thing and search the FAQ database you get a blended result that partially answers one or two questions and misses the rest. So I built an extraction layer that reads the full email and breaks it into individual questions. It handles directly stated questions ("is the spa open?"), implied questions ("we're driving" implies they need parking info), complaints that need acknowledgment but aren't FAQ-searchable ("wifi was slow"), and informational context that shouldn't be treated as a question at all ("coming on the 20th"). Getting this extraction reliable was probably 40% of the total development time. Layer 2: FAQ knowledge base with vector search All hotel FAQs get embedded and stored in a vector database. Different properties have different amenities, policies, and details so the search is scoped per hotel. When a guest emails the Berlin property asking about breakfast, it searches the Berlin FAQ, not the Munich one. Each extracted question from Layer 1 gets s
