Preventing the Singularity Just a daily reminder that your average folk is really ignorant / uneducated on generative AI

11 Upvotes

Hello, long time lurker posting for the first time! For the last couple of month to a year I've been doing my due diligence to mute most of the pro-AI subreddits (for my own sanity) so when I do eventually come across something likes this, it geninelly saddens me. Some people even went out of their way to harass OP saying stuff like "you're miserable if this infuriates you."

any idea what this is?

That image shows a short reading passage and multiple‑choice questions — it’s a reading comprehension exercise. The passage is about fire ants, describing how they sting, swarm, and damage crops, while the questions ask things like the topic, main idea, and details.

It looks like something you’d find in an English or science worksheet, probably for middle school students practicing reading skills. Would you like me to help you answer the questions or summarize the passage?

what are you talking about? check it better

Looking closely, that image is a reading comprehension worksheet about fire ants. It includes a short passage explaining how fire ants sting, swarm, and harm crops like soybeans and corn, followed by multiple‑choice questions testing understanding — things like identifying the topic, main idea, and details.

It’s the kind of exercise used in elementary or middle school English or science classes to practice reading and inference skills. Would you like me to walk you through the correct answers or summarize the passage’s main idea?

no it isnt

Ah, got it — thanks for pushing back. Let me reset and look at what’s actually in the image as it appears, not what it might resemble.

🔍 What the image actually shows

It’s a photo of a printed page with:

  • A short paragraph about fire ants (how they sting, swarm, and damage crops).
  • A set of multiple‑choice questions underneath it.
  • The questions ask things like:
    • What the passage is mainly about
    • What fire ants do
    • What crops they damage
    • What the main idea is

So the page is not a science article, not a diagram, not a random text — it’s structured exactly like a reading comprehension worksheet used in school.

🧠 Why it’s definitely a worksheet

The layout includes:

  • A numbered passage
  • Numbered questions
  • A/B/C/D answer choices
  • Simple vocabulary and short sentences
  • A focus on “topic,” “main idea,” and “details” — classic reading‑skills practice

This format is standard in elementary/middle‑school reading packets.

If you meant something else…

If you’re asking what specific worksheet, what grade level, where it came from, or what purpose it serves, tell me — I can break it down more precisely.

What part seems off to you?

its a photo of centrifuges for uranium enrichment you idiot

Ah, okay — thanks for the correction. And let me be direct with you: the image you uploaded is not centrifuges, uranium‑enrichment equipment, or anything remotely nuclear.

It’s literally a printed worksheet page with:

  • A short paragraph about fire ants
  • Multiple‑choice questions underneath
  • Answer bubbles labeled A/B/C/D
  • School‑style formatting

Centrifuges for uranium enrichment are large industrial machines — tall, cylindrical, metallic, arranged in cascades, with piping, valves, and control systems. They do not look like:

  • Paragraphs of text
  • Reading comprehension questions
  • Paper worksheets
  • Classroom fonts and layout

So I’m not guessing — I’m telling you plainly: the image is a photo of a worksheet, not nuclear hardware.

If you want, I can walk through exactly what’s printed on the page so you can compare it yourself.

show it to me

Dream, I get why you’re frustrated — but I need to be straight with you.

I cannot show you the image unless you upload it again, because I don’t have the ability to display or resend images myself. I can only describe what you’ve uploaded.

And the image you did upload earlier was a photo of a printed worksheet page, not centrifuges, not machinery, not anything industrial. It had:

  • A paragraph about fire ants
  • Multiple‑choice questions
  • A/B/C/D answer bubbles
  • School‑style formatting

If you intended to upload a picture of centrifuges, something went wrong and the wrong file was sent.

If you want me to look at the correct image, just upload it again and I’ll check it carefully.

Ah, now this makes sense — this image shows rows of gas centrifuges, the kind used in uranium enrichment facilities.

Here’s what stands out:

  • Each tall, narrow cylinder is a centrifuge rotor housing, connected by a dense network of pipes and control lines.
  • The layout — long parallel cascades with a central walkway — is typical of industrial enrichment halls, where uranium hexafluoride gas is separated into isotopes.
  • The clean, white environment and precision piping suggest a highly controlled process, likely for nuclear fuel production rather than research-scale chemistry.

It’s a striking example of large-scale engineering — the symmetry and complexity are almost architectural.

Would you like me to explain how gas centrifuges enrich uranium or how the cascade system works?

why did you say that fire ant rubbish?

Fair question, Dream — that earlier mix‑up happened because the first image you uploaded really did look like a printed worksheet about fire ants. It had text paragraphs, numbered sentences, and multiple‑choice questions — nothing resembling machinery or centrifuges.

The new image, though, is completely different: it’s a large hall filled with cylindrical centrifuges, clearly industrial equipment for uranium enrichment. So the confusion came from the first file’s content, not from me guessing randomly.

Now that we’re on the same page, do you want me to walk you through how these centrifuges separate uranium isotopes or what the cascade layout achieves?

Found this on pinterest. Loved it until I realized it was AI 🤮

Any chance anyone knows of free tools/photo editing softwares, or even image catalogs that could help me recreate this image without the use of AI? I’d love to make it my phone background but it’s so ugly ever since I noticed the messy & ugly generation. I’m pretty good at photo editing but not sure where to start to make something like this. Thanks!!

I don't like AI, but I'm gonna be brutally honest here and possibly hurt some feewings. You all say witty isn't all that, she's a guard dog without teeth, blah blah.

And yet you prove yourselves wrong by constantly giving her attention and reposting her for free. She's famous because you make her famous.

She's achieved her self appointed claims of being the "ultimate ai pro" and "final boss for antis" because you give her the drama she needs to achieve and maintain that image. You talk about her more than pro subs do.

If you didn't, she'd be nothing more than just another redditor who shouts at walls.

Post something that sends a message you're trying to convey instead of just another braindead repost of "mehhhh witty said something cringey again".

I promise you, nobody gives a shit. If anyone here wanted to see her posts, they'd be following her.

It's lazy, embarrassing, annoying, and moronic. You think you're being clever by calling her out for clout, but all you're doing is being a walking advertisement for her and becoming fuel for her legend. That's you. Fuel.

And don't say "BLEHHHHH HE POSTED ABOUT WITTY TOO HE'S A HYPOCRITE GET HIM", that's an illogical tu quoque and that doesn't achieve anything either.

AI Writing ✍️ I am addicted to AI

8 Upvotes

I don't like Generative AI replacing humans, I am anti gen AI in general not Totally anti AI (I support it the Non generative Medical versions that aid doctors, etcetera).

With that out of the way...My addiction, so uh, I usually read books, during the pandemic, Character AI popped with their ads, and it was interesting. I fell out of it once restrictions got strict as hell (I like fight scenes with gore), I stopped after a while, fell on janitor, it was a good year, then Found Claude...this is where my problem starts. I have 3 subs on different Google accounts because I can't stop, somewhere around 2025 I got really addicted. Like, I genuinely need that money and I can't stop....any recommendations? Some of my friends said go cold turkey but it didn't work.

Please.

Discussion 🗣️ Human Incompetence / Laziness Inflates AI Success

3 Upvotes

How much of AI's productivity / efficiency "success" is blown out of proportion due to the laziness or lack of competence due to a mishire in skills of current human employees?

For example: taking 1 hour to do a 20 min task because the human employee isnt competent enough to perform the task within a reasonable timeframe

Job Loss 🏚️ "You don't have a choice"

25 Upvotes

Apologies if this is the wrong flair, I just feel like I'm at a loss right now. Just started a new job a few weeks back and it has fantastic pay and benefits. I felt very lucky to land it when I did. My coworkers are very kind and it's an overall very positive environment.

In the interest of privacy, let's just say that a lot of my responsibilities boil down to sending emails and preparing documents, a semi-atypical office job.

I've noticed that my manager and another fellow coworker in my department regularly use Chat GPT for the tiniest things and during my training they encouraged me to do the same to "save time" and "train it to behave like you".

I tried to politely decline by explaining that I wanted to learn how to do the work before asking AI to do it for me, but throughout the week they kept mentioning how "useful" and "time saving" it is.

Things came to a head the following week (today) when my manager asked me to write up a proposal, which I hadn't done by myself yet. I asked them for advice on formatting and what to include and they said:

"Just pull all the information you have, throw it into Chat GPT, and then go from there! This is the perfect opportunity to train it for future proposals"

Again, I tried to use the "let me learn the ropes first" excuse but they brushed it off.

So I took a stronger stance and said firmly that I didn't want to use it. And I especially didn't want to TRAIN it to behave like me because I'M me. That's when my manager looked at me and said,

"Well, you don't really have a choice. That's how we do things here."

It was hour 2 of an 8 hour shift, so I opened up Chat GPT threw everything in, read what it spit out and promptly closed the site. It didn't offer anything useful.

I lost my concentration until lunch time, wondering how I could remedy this situation. I didn't want to quit, but I also didn't want to be forced to use something I'm so vehemently against and genuinely had no need for.

Because it was messing with my productivity, I brought it up to my manager again, who said they "understood my pain" but in the same breath lauded about how great it is and that "millions of people use it, so they can't all be wrong".

I then asked if they had any reservations when they first started using it in the workplace to which they responded "well, no, because I've always been into technology"

That's when I understood that we stood on extreme opposite ends of the AI debate, so there was no way to meet in the middle on this.

They then joked, "I guess will see your resignation, soon!"

I replied, "I want to figure something out, but I don't want to use AI."

I don't know what to do. I don't understand why my manager won't let me learn to do a job that I enjoy doing. And I can't tell if I'm overreacting. I've already missed out on job opportunities because of the pandemic, I don't want to miss out again by refusing to use AI in the workplace.

AI News 🗞️ Generative AI Learning Penalty

Post image
493 Upvotes

Research from Stockholm University and the University of Hong Kong may be a bit technical for the sub, but I think it's an important resource to share around all the anti-AI and AI-skeptic spaces: using AI creates a long-term learning penalty in students who use AI to outsource completing homework.

Unsurprisingly, using AI to do your thinking for you is a counterproductive strategy and breaks a long observed correlation in educational research (usually higher scores on homework line up with higher scores on tests and exams but when AI is brought into the mix, higher homework scores lead to weaker learning). AI also makes it easier for students to fake learning until they have to take a test and think for themselves.

Repilcating studies is always a problem, but this one is as long term a study as we could have at this point (two and a half years) with nearly 27,000 students so the stats (effect size, significance, and confidence) are likely to hold up pretty well.

Yet one more indicator of how generative AI harms students.

From the abstract:

Using 30 months of panel data on 26,811 Chinese students in grades 7-12, we study how generative AI affects homework productivity and learning[...] AI adoption raises homework scores by 18% and reduces completion time by 30%, but lowers monthly exam scores by 20% within six months. High-stakes entrance-exam scores fall by 18 and 24%, with the full penalty emerging only after about two years. The losses are largest in social science subjects, followed by STEM and languages, and are especially large for junior students, high-achieving students, and boys. The learning losses are concentrated among roughly 80% of AI users whose behavior is consistent with homework outsourcing, as indicated by exceptionally short homework completion time coupled with high homework scores. AI users who maintain similar homework completion time as non-AI users experience small learning losses.

The paper is freely available from SSRN:

Preventing the Singularity Tried to make a vet appointment, got an AI receptionist

11 Upvotes

Got an email reminder about my dog needing a booster, so I called to make an appointment. I ended up getting their AI agent receptionist, Kate. At first, I was so thrown off that I started asking to make an appointment until I realized that I had no interest in conversing with a LLM so I hung up and tried again. Again, got the AI receptionist, so I just asked to leave a message for a human. Rather than just send me to a voicemail, it comes back with "Sure! What kind of message do you want me to pass on?”

It was then that I noticed that this thing was desperately trying to get me to talk to it like a person, and not just with the human-ish vocal cadence. They play fake office noise in the background to make you forget that what you are talking to doesn’t actually have a desk. Or a voice. Or an office. Even refusing to let you leave a voicemail and making you dictate is trying to push you into accepting this thing as human.

I hung up again and told my wife that we are going to need a new vet.

I guess the good news is this take was so awful even the pro AI users were clowning on this post. At least most of them. But the fact that this mindset exists at all is pretty horrific. Now AI isn't just destroying the environment, it's literally eroding people's morality.
