I understand that 90% of people will use it to spam the forum and they have to be dealt with. I never argued against that. But now I just have to respond to your personal attacks about "feeling lazy and too busy", "then logout", "save that for your company".
I don't even know if you understood my point. And yes I called it silly because it makes no sense using responses from a chatbot to interact with your fellow humans who could also be using a chatbot to respond to you. It's basically a chatbot talking to itself
If you feel lazy and too busy to interact with the forum members, then logout. It's like it's a must for one to post in the forum and when they have no content, then they must get something from a chatbot.
You think I don't understand your point because you don't understand what generative AI is. You even call them chatbots. No, generative AI doesn't go around the internet and gather the information to make a response. Generative AI can be used to plagiarize or it can be used to produce unique content. I'm going to give you a few examples by addressing your other "points".
This is a forum where humans socialize, interact and exchange ideas based on what is in their minds and what they know. Not Member A using a chatbot to respond to Member B who will use a response from a chatbot to reply to member A
Here is a quick example. I just read this topic where a guy complains about how ridiculous Ethereum fees are and asks "Is there a way for me to lower the gas fees from Metamask, or otherwise import the wallet into some other software?" I could write a reply to him saying, "Hey, sure there is a way. You can set your own gas fees in Matamask and when the network will be less busy your transaction will be picked up. Here is how:"
And then I would ask AI "Give me instructions on how to set gas fees in Metamask." I would get this:
- When you are about to make a transaction, click on the word "Market" above the estimated gas fee.
- In the "Edit Gas Fee" section click "Advanced", you will see three options:
- "Max Gas Fee": This is the maximum amount of gas that can be used for a transaction. If you set this too low, your transaction may fail. If you set it too high, you may pay more than you need to.
- "Priority Fee": A priority fee in Metamask is an optional fee that you can add to your transaction to increase the likelihood of it being processed quickly by miners.
- Once you have set your gas fee, click on "Save" to apply the changes.
See? I interact and exchange ideas based on what is in my mind. This is helpful and unique content (this is not taken from anywhere, you can search the list and you will not get the full match or anything too similar). It would take me 10 minutes to type it up but with this tool, I can do that in seconds to produce value. It doesn't matter who wrote this bit. If you call this being lazy, well, good luck churning your own butter, don't know what to tell you.
Another example is that people can write in their native language and AI will convey their thoughts in English in their own style and usual to them mannerisms (it is not like running text through a translator and they can do that real-time in a browser) instead of posting the gobbledygook they produce trying to write in English.
Well, save that for your company.
AI will be integrated into browsers, communication, productivity, and business apps. It will enhance the auto-complete feature on phones. Telling people to keep the technology for themselves won't work. This is why I think "chatbots" would be special.
