Retool, a development platform for business software, recently published the results of its State of AI survey. Over 1,500 people took part, all from the tech industry:...
Over half of all tech industry workers view AI as overrated::undefined
Buy a fucking book about baking. Not a fancy colour print recipe book, but a textbook, you know the kind with a chapter or two about dough chemistry.
If nothing else, as a beginner you have no idea which questions to ask and ChatGPT is never going to give you a dissertation about fundamental knowledge and principles. And you have absolutely no way to tell whether ChatGPT is spouting random nonsense.
I bought a fucking book more than one and it wasn’t as good. A fucking book can’t examine a picture and tell me what went wrong, the fucking book I bought didn’t have subsistion charts, the fucking book I bought didn’t respond to cntrl+F
Did you get this comment response or should I have faxed it to you?
If you need ChatGPT to analyse a picture for you you lack very basic knowledge about baking. It can’t smell, it can’t touch, it can’t hear, and it has never fucking ever baked. It has never taken a wet and sticky dough, tensioned it, and, voila, suddenly it’s a pleasure to handle.
And substitution charts? For what? If you understood the underlying dough chemistry you wouldn’t be asking in the first place. As said: You lack the basic knowledge to know what questions to ask, and once you have that knowledge your questions will only be answered by experiment.
I’m a capable home baker, no more no less. You’ll learn more and faster learning from sources which actually know what they’re talking about is all I’m saying. Want to spend the next 10 years dabbling around still not learning anything of substance, go ahead, be my guest, stick with ChatGPT.
I can make you a pumpkin cake in a pan on a stovetop if needs be. Which is going to turn out better than in a rice cooker because steaming a cake isn’t really a stellar idea (though bread is often baked with steam, different reasons), and even if you get things working rice cookers don’t produce temperatures which cause browning, they shut down at a baseplate temperature of like 105C as that means that all water has evaporated. 140-165C is necessary in case you’re wondering.
Did you really think about that question yourself or did you go with the rice cooker because ChatGPT wasn’t smart enough to realise that nope, that’s a bad idea, and chances are if you have a rice cooker you also have something to put a pan on. To me it seems like you’re outsourcing thinking to a smart-sounding idiot, instead spending all your intelligence on justifying that decision post-hoc.
You’re nitpicking a specific instead of the argument
The bloody argument is that ChatGPT can’t deal with the specifics in question. I don’t doubt that it can get lucky and spit out something sensible. What I’m saying is that it’s a very bad idea to rely on it to master a topic. I mean if it was so good why did you even go to university? Why not have ChatGPT teach you? Exactly the same thing.
Also why the hell would you have a ricecooker and no stove, not even a single plate. Are you going to fry up stuff to eat with the rice in the cooker? Did ChatGPT have the guts to tell you that you’re living the life of a modern-day barbarian and sentence you to eat rice with rice until you relent and get a hot plate and/or an oven? Air fryer? Anything that’s not soggy? Or venture out to your neigbours and see if they have something at least half-way appropriate?

“If you studied the topic for multiple years of your life AI is useless” Great, thank you, I didn’t know that
