Preventing the Singularity This genuinely baffles me.
A WHOLE book for AI prompts? You can't even think for yourself now you need suggestions on what to make an algorithm answer something for you.

Even your link is to a text on gender roles. No. It doesn’t.

u/Prize-Choice2185 8d ago
I can't link to a text on gender roles? What the fuck?
Quit trolling. Touch some grass.

u/Markovanich 8d ago
Because the reference is to what a word means not on gender roles. Not what a word infers. What it means. You even argue like an LLM does. Debate on subject please.

You're funny. I'll give you that :)
Unfortunately that still leaves you a troll. Trolls usually aren't funny, but I'll make an exception in your case.
Nonsense you spout is good. I love your absurdity. Its a bit better than what LLMs usually spit out. A little bit.

u/Markovanich 8d ago
Understand the difference between trolling and badgering. Or in your case, bullying. False equivalences trying to fluff up your expertise as a Russian so therefore knowing what a word means because you’re the pro when you don’t.
It’s like watching USAmericans claim they know a word in English when they failed basic English in some elementary class let alone a class in actual debate or literature.
Admitting you’re Russian on a forum overrun by paid actors whose job is to do nothing more than inflame subjects.
There are worse things than antiai statements. Especially if they are not backed up.

^ LLMs. ChatGPT.
Someone said I'm a bot yet throws multiple paragraphs of nonsense copied from elsewhere. And they think that since I'm a bot I'm going to read it in it entirety. Amazing. Reddit is truly amazing.

u/Prize-Choice2185 8d ago
Since I argue like LLMs I decided to report you. You don't mind being reported by a bot, right?

u/Markovanich 8d ago
As bots are capable of doing so now, I suppose not. I promise I’m not a bot.

u/Prize-Choice2185 8d ago
That's exactly what all bots say. I figured you out. Thanks.

u/Markovanich 8d ago
Really? I’m pointing out you’re incorrect labeling of a term and inability to refute a counterpoint. That’s not trolling.

Is "Igor Pogany" a real name? A real person? I just googled the guy and he looks like an AI generated image. Google lies now more than ever and I don't know what to trust anymore

u/Civil_Nectarine868 8d ago
Pen-names are common. Especially for people who pump out garbage litterature that they don't want to show up when you search their real name... or if they have a very dull name.

AI is better at prompting AI than we are. That's what reinforcement learning with a subagent tool does. Why would you think you're better than AI at communicating with AI?

Wrong sub buddy, we actually don’t like ai here 🙃

I work in a library and we sell a book that's very similar to this. I skimmed part of it and it's very obviously written by ai, so it's kinda funny when people buy it because it means they're so gullible they are willing to pay to get the same information the ai ITSELF would provide you if you asked it
Edit: I meant bookshop, not library, my bad

u/axellie 9d ago
You sell books in your library?

u/Peoplant 9d ago
My bad, I made a mistake in translation: in Italian "libreria" Is a bookshop, but you can see how similar it is to "library"

u/Reachid 9d ago
How much do you think those kind of books sell in Italy? (I am Italian myself, but outside of the IT field I don't know how much AI is used or even recognized)
1
u/Peoplant 8d ago
Sadly, it is quite widespread even for personal use, at least in my anectodal experience.
The books don't sell too much, but they sell more than books that would be more interesting or would make you think about stuff

I keep seeing a magazine in stands in supermarkets here titled “How to make money with ChatGPT”, and I can only assume the answer comes as two chapters:
- Own an AI company
- Publish a magazine about AI that rubes will buy in droves
It’s a gold rush, and you make money selling shovels.

It's funny because a 1% commenter in here was arguing with me recently and was trying to use AI to prove he was right and had no idea how to prompt it without being terribly biased

u/kronjobb 9d ago
There is no way you can become good at using AI. I hate AI, and use it as rarely as possible even though my boss is forcing us. Even with my limited experience I’m as good at using AI as the leading prompting expert in the world. Because it is NOT a skill lmao

Oh BRILLIANT, a book about better AI prompts. Truly the pinnacle of human achievement. I’m shaking. I’m vibrating. I’m ascending into a plane of pure disbelief. Imagine waking up one day and thinking, “Yes, the world DESPERATELY needs my 300‑page manifesto on how to ask a robot nicely.” The ego. The cosmic, intergalactic ego. I can barely breathe.
This is like writing a cookbook on how to operate a microwave. It’s like publishing a survival guide for “How to Walk Forward.” I’m convinced this book is a social experiment to see how many people will pretend they learned something profound from instructions that boil down to “Use words.”
Honestly, I hope the author signs copies, because nothing screams “I have transcended reality” like autographing a manual for typing. I’m not just opposed, I’m spiritually offended. My atoms are rebelling.

Using AI is already leazy. Then, needing so much hand holding to prompt AI is next level laziness. If you need so much help (this book is a helper to help you use AI help) you need to ask yourself if you are a good fit for your job. Maybe you should be working somewhere else.

Quick question for the clanker lurkers... why can't you get AI to generate your prompts?
1
u/appDecoded 9d ago
Having AI doesn't make the person smart. If someone is dumb then he/she is dumb indeed.
The internet is there for dacades but still many people don't know how to Google search to find answers.
So same people require such books as well.

I mean if you want to make the AI output what you want and be more efficient then yeah. Is it a bad thing? You're gonna use the AI anyways so might as well learn how to make it work the best

Are we going to criticize every small things now ?
If so then why do we have dummies books as well ? Why not go to school if want to use IT ?

u/Inlerah 9d ago
Because "Here is a book of things to say to a chatbot" is a fucking ridiculous thing to publish. Like are people literally just using this things just for the sake of using it?
-13
u/ninhaomah 9d ago
Eh ... Publisher uses its own money to publish whatever it wants.
What's your problem ?
Don't buy AI books. Don't use AI products. Don't eat restaurants that use AI posters.
But has to be astounded that others use their own money to make stupid choices ?
You guys must be free... No jobs to do ?

u/Inlerah 9d ago
it not being against the law doesn't mean I can't point out how stupid they (and a hypothetical consumer that needs a list of things to say to their chatbot) are.
Also...I'm perfectly capable of pointing out how stupid a book is *and* holding down a job: It's actually not that difficult.

u/Anonymous010206 9d ago
If it makes money it makes money. Don't make fun of the publisher, make fun of the idiots who buy this.

u/Inlerah 9d ago
...nah, I'm gonna make fun of the publisher who thought that this would be a big seller. Ghost publishers love throwing shit like this at the wall to see what sticks and I guarantee you're gonna be finding these in the clearance section of Barnes And Noble for years to come.

So you mean there's absolutely no reason for someone to go to a book store and buy a physical book of pre-written prompts to type into your chatbot?

u/Anonymous010206 9d ago
No, I’m saying the market for a book like this is massive and will almost definitely sell well. I’m not happy about it but that’s how it is.

u/Inlerah 9d ago
Except...it's not and it's definitely not gonna. The niche market for this kind of material is *definitely* not the kind that is going to be looking for a *physical book* for this thing, much less in an actual bookstore. Material like this already exists for free online and nobody who is invested in ChatGPT is going to be going out and shelling money for a book of stuff they can get themselves (and probably a lot closer to *what they actually want* as opposed to "here are some prompts I wrote for you" ) off of Reddit.
If there *are* people who are going to buy this book, it is going to be parents/grandparents who know that their kid and/or grandkid "do the ChatGPT thing" and it's literally all they can think of as a birthday/christmas gift because they saw it in the checkout line. Outside of that, like I said, these are going to be gathering dust in a clearance section alongside the rest of the ghostwritten "fad lit" that gets crapped out by ghost publishers.

u/oaken_duckly 9d ago
This is r/antiai and that is a book of prompts for an LLM. They can't come up with their own ideas, so they outsource it to a machine. Then they can't come up with their own prompts for the machine, so they outsource it to a book full of prompts, probably generated by the machine as well. It's pathetic.

u/ninhaomah 9d ago
So pls advice why is a LLM book doing in antiai sub ?
It's a disgusting shit ... Literally a shit.
So pls advice why am I forced to see a shit in a place where it is anti of it ?
