    Increasingly, people ask me questions, send me screen shots, I copy-paste that into gpt, gpt’s answers are helpful and correct… they have access to the same (free to use) gpt themselves…

      When I ask a person a question im generally trying to get their perspective. Im likely asking a few people or will over time. Its honestly just a part of socializing and interacting as humans.

        I get questions like: why can’t I access this server, I followed the wiki page (first clue, they didn’t follow the wiki page). That’s not asking for insight, that’s asking for where they failed to follow a set of 5 step directions by doing things like: changing the default filename of their new ssh key to something they invented.

        GPT explained, far more patiently than I would have, how indeed to do 4 more steps and rename your ssh key to anything you want, but I did offer the insight: if you just leave the name as the default value, you can skip all of this extra work.

      People ask humans because they want to interact with humans, just say you don’t know and they’ll ask ai themselves, unnecessary middlemannimg for ego boost is weird

        It’s not that I don’t know, it’s that I’ve already answered their questions, in writing, if they would just read a half page of text and do what it says.

      Please don’t compare how I use AI to how you do, I hope I never ask you a question and trust you like I would a human

        Well, when the question is: why isn’t my server access working, and the result from gpt gets their server access working… I hope you can trust a result like that?
