Amen!

Heavily reinforced in the human part of the training? And all the vendors use the same, cheapest, vendors?

(I actually have no idea.)

I tried hard to expand my musical tastes so I could enjoy music with my kids, no matter their interests. I did *not* account for Baby Shark.

You have my deepest condolences.

I don’t think it has to be that way. But good interfaces that respect their human users are hard in the best of scenarios, and much harder when we don’t fully understand the underlying technology.

…and sometimes due to almost incidental UI decisions. For instance, we worry about people making “friends” with LLMs…but the chat interface we give them is mimicking the same chat interface they talk to humans with.

I get utility out of LLMs! But we have given them such misleading interfaces.

Yeah! I think this is my biggest frustrations with LLMs as we have them (after setting aside the hype-train): the language and interfaces we use to present these tools to people are actively misleading. Sometimes due to language (as previously discussed or as in, for instance, ChatGPT’s UI)…

I totally agree — I’ve been doing the same. It’s sometimes frustratingly difficult to not anthropomorphize these tools, but LLM is at least a start!

What features are you looking for? Chart of Accounts, check writing, credit cards, reconciliation? AR or AP? Payroll? Other?

If you ever come to Minnesota, there is an installation of his trolls in Detroit Lakes!

Have you found thoughtful Christian resources on the topic? Or do you find the topic uninteresting and unuseful?

Thank you!

Fair! Though I sure didn’t mean to sound complacent. Even though there is nothing new under the sun, I’m trying to figure out my dent to make, so to speak.

Do you have some links to the environment and human displacement issues? I haven’t dug into those as deeply as I probably should…

Not that it excuses anything! Just observing that it’s a problem not specific to AI, I think.

Seems pretty par for the course for humanity for millennia, unfortunately. :-( We want what we do not have, so we do anything to get it.

Humanity has a long history of adopting new technologies (defined broadly) without thinking through the implications.

What side effects do you have in mind? Stuff like futurism.com/amazon-progr... ?

Ah! Thanks!

Why? What was revolutionary?

Hooray! Congratulations!

Completely out of my depth, but I can’t help wondering: is this a problem with _school_ or a problem with how we are framing _the rest of life_? (i.e. is school itself fine, but we emphasize school so much as opposed to being a tool for a much bigger life objective?)
