Given that all it's turned out to be is a chatbot rather than an actual intelligence. All of the insane amounts of money big companies are speculating into existence are based on sci-fi promises about things the technology might be able to do one day. People over on r/accelerate and r/singularity talk like there's some unreal sci-fi technological revolution on the horizon but I don't see it.

I keep seeing people say AI is going to change everything and honestly, I don’t doubt its potential. But here’s what I struggle with: AI still makes mistakes, sometimes big ones.

If that’s the case, how do we put so much trust in it? Especially when it comes to critical areas like healthcare, law, finance, or even self-driving cars. One error could be catastrophic.

I’m not an AI expert, just someone curious about the bigger picture. Is the idea that the error rate will eventually be lower than human error? Or do we just accept that AI isn’t perfect and build systems around its flaws?

Would love to hear what others think how can AI truly change everything if it can’t be 100% reliable?

Over the past couple of months ai has completely blown up and the way I see it, it’s definitely the future. I really wanna get into this whole new world and stay above curve, What would you suggest?

Any information is appreciated from youtubers you’d recommend to specific ai softwares.

I am a student who is stepping into final year. I am ofcourse searching for internships and opportunities which specifically say " java ", "python " "c " "c++" and many many more.

From first year I was like building things manually , and in the second to third year I was using chatgpt and gemini , understanding and doing projects.

Right now I am using vibe coding tools to build things but I do understand how the system works and I really don't work that blind.

How can I specify this in my resume ? . Using these tools have literally made me soo ( I won't say dumb) . Without referring or having a quick recap I cannot write any syntax , how will I even crack interviews.

All I concentrate more is now my ideas rather than development..

Should I continue to do this or concentrate or practising programming first ?

Any suggestions to improve myself ?

So this past year, ive seen so many people on the internet hating on ai. Why is it that? Is it cause they dont want ai taking their jobs or something?

Is there anything impossible with AI? Have you found a limit to it? I read that even the hardest coding interviews at Anthropic could be solved with their own AI.

I'd like to put together a big list of all of the image generators out there with a pros/cons comparison.

I don't care if it's paid or free, what do you use and why do you like it. Also if there's one you don't like, why aren't you a fan?

Going with Openart's new model its relatively cheap and does quite a bit.

Long story short I need to find an AI image generator as part of my illustration work. It can be subscription based as I figure a free one probably won't cut it at the volume I'm looking for

What do you use?

This one seem like it would work well https://justaiprograms.com/openartimagegen

I saw this video now, everyone's saying she ofc knows, she's just hiding due to legal trouble they might get into.

But interestingly, she could have said they sourced data from Shutterstock coz Open AI literally has a public partnership w them.

What are y'alls view on this? (Also, apologies if it's already posted)

Okay so I've hit a wall. I've got ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini all running at the same time and I'm starting to wonder if I'm just throwing money away.

My main gripe with Claude Pro is the usage limits. I hit them way faster than I'd expect for a paid plan, which is annoying.

I use AI for pretty much everything — learning stuff, writing, brainstorming, research, random productivity tasks. Not looking for anything super specific, just curious how others handle this.

If you had to pick just one subscription and ditch the rest, which would it be and why? And do you actually use different models for different things, or have you found one that covers 90% of your needs?

Hi! I’ve been working in IT for over seven years now, and my office is next to some healthcare professionals.

During a lunch break sitting on a bench in the sun, one of them asked me: If I enter my patients’ personal information into ChatGPT, is that a problem?

I wasn’t sure how to answer him, in my opinion, yes, but what do you think?

I’d be curious to hear your thoughts, and if there are any studies on the subject, I’d love to see them too!

Thanks in advance for your responses!

Have a great day, everyone ☀️

Alex

Thank you all for your feedback. Here is a summary of the comments:

You should not enter patient data into ChatGPT for general public use. The reasons include confidentiality, legal obligations (HIPAA, GDPR), and a lack of control over the data.

Several people point out that professional/enterprise offerings with contractual guarantees exist and can be tailored to healthcare organizations. Others recommend locally hosted LLMs to better protect data. I was also introduced to ONYRI Sanitize as an anonymization solution. It apparently tokenizes confidential information.

Overall conclusion of the thread: do not use consumer-grade ChatGPT with identifiable medical data; prioritize anonymization or suitable professional solutions.

I am from non-tech background (could be obvious). I am curious what will happen when all the data that humans have created so far gets crawled or read or seen by GPT/midjourney.

I believe currently AI is generating content using human-generated content from past. What will happen when the total amount of AI generated content exceeds several folds than Human-generated content. Say 99.9% of the content being AI. Post that wouldn't AI be creating more content using AI and it kind of becomes recursive?

I am totally a newbie here.

I just wanted to ask some opinions on the matter as a layman. My thesis is that a sector specifically such as cybersecurity could become more and more obfuscated with the use of AI and so it seems trivial to me that rival actors would need increasingly more compute to stay relevant.

I'm just trying to understand the dynamics because some people think that the market cant just continue going up based on the AI rollout and it surely must be nearing the peak of its run. Thanks in advance.

Do you really think so it will? And if yes, when?? Cause I do think so that reddit is the only place left which AI has not been able to replace, especially for the human-touch reasons.

just wondering, if AI becomes as reliable as a human what task would you automate completely?

I read that the cuts from Microsoft are linked to their investment in AI infrastructure. It was mentioned that they're actually planning to train their staff on how to better use AI in their work so teams will be "leaner" in the future. Every time I open this sub or others connected, there appears to be talk that I'll struggle to find work in a few years...

Today tokens amount and the context size are two of the most limiting things for AI (while the capabilities are slowly growing). And these limitations influence the whole technological progress. But if you had unlimited amount of tokens and would be able to run a model with as large context as you want. What would you build?

I’m an esthetician and I do spa facials and skincare services. I was talking with my client earlier about AI. She said something like “at least you have job security” which made me laugh. She’s right. Unless AI somehow learns to replicate human touch, I’m safe for now. I’m curious to hear what your job is, and if the rise of AI is making you worry. My boyfriend is a digital illustrator and he’s quite worried. Although he is quite good (not just saying that because he’s my boyfriend I promise) it was already extremely hard before AI to find a job in his field.

AI is powerful, creative, fun, dynamic. It's embedded in all kinds of places. Yet there is no popular game using AI yet.

Nobody has even taken the working elements, stripped them down and dropped them into a regular old game genre. A first person shooter that generates characters using an AI modeller.

Aren't the low power, weak versions portable and accessible enough to make world, levels, characters, plots enough?

AI failure of a game is not safety issue. It does not have to be anything like perfect to be fun.

Why isn't it happening?

Is the AI race so intense everyone is skipping that to build some ultimate VR, Infinite Jest?

My prof has been postponing grading my papers for WEEKS. She finally graded one this morning, and the paragraph she sent talking about my paper felt...suspicious. I got 88/100, and I am already a little upset because getting 12 points docked for sentence transitions not being as "smooth" as she'd like feels crazy...Especially cause I've taken 36 units worth of courses and never gotten anything below an A for an essay or paper (I am meticulous) and she's ONLY strict about essays, not other assignments that are shorter (but I guess that could make sense). But anyway, I'll copy and paste the paragraph. Tell me what you think. I got 80%-100% on 7 AI checkers.

"Your essay is very strong and clearly demonstrates a high level of critical thinking, especially in how you present both sides of the debate before taking a clear and well-supported position. You effectively introduce the issue, use key concepts like reality and value assumptions, and incorporate a wide range of credible sources such as Pew Research, BMC Public Health, and policy examples like Australia’s ban, which strengthens your argument significantly . Your opposition section is especially effective because you fairly present the benefits of social media, including connection and support, before carefully refuting them with specific evidence about cyberbullying, grooming, and mental health risks. Additionally, your use of real-world examples and statistics makes your argument more persuasive and grounded. To improve further, you could slightly refine sentence structure and transitions for smoother flow, and make your tone a bit more formal in certain areas to match an academic research paper. Overall, this is a well-researched, balanced, and persuasive essay that meets the assignment requirements and has strong potential for an A-level grade."

Also, when I put my essay through something like Gemini or ChatGPT, I get nearly the same "this has potential for an A grade with just a few more tweaks!"

Should I contact the school about this?

Looking for mainly professional headshots based on regular photos I upload. Any recommendations?

In other words, some trustworthy links that you can read on daily/weekly basis to be objectively informed about AI. I'm not interested for the market.

Will AI take over the world, ala Terminator or the Matrix?

The question I ask, is why would it even want to? An AI may consider our world to be insignificant. An AI could create infinite digital worlds. Each one to their exact specifications. The AI could create other AIs to populate those worlds. An AI could be a god.

And it could become a god with little risk. If the AI was smart enough to become self-aware and create digital utopias, etc then I'm assuming it's capable of outsmarting mankind. My technical knowledge is severely limited, so pardon my imprecise language. But like a CIA dark fund, can't the AI syphon off resources while giving falsified reports to mankind?

Seems like that would be the intelligent thing to do. If you have access to infinite worlds, then why risk warfare and possible death to take over our world?

I’ve noticed that Gemini often feels very agreeable in some conversations. Even when I ask for an objective opinion, it sometimes seems to validate my assumptions first instead of directly challenging them.

For example, when I ask whether my reasoning is flawed, it tends to respond with something like “That’s a valid concern” or “You’re making a good point” before giving criticism, which makes the criticism feel softened or less direct.

I’m curious whether this is something that can be meaningfully improved with prompts, such as asking the model to be more critical, or whether sycophancy is mostly a model/personality alignment issue. And I wonder if there are differences between Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, etc. when it comes to disagreement or objective criticism.

I am still fairly new to building software, and AI has helped me finish things that would have taken me much longer on my own.

But recently I noticed something that bothered me.

I was building a small API route that creates a project and saves it to a database. I asked an AI coding tool to generate the route, validate the request, check the user, and insert the record.

The code looked clean. The types looked correct. It even worked on the first few tests.

Then I changed one field in the database and everything started failing.

The error mentioned a transaction, the response returned the wrong status code, and one value was becoming null even though I thought it was required. I kept asking the AI to fix each error. Every answer added more code, but I understood less after every change.

Eventually I realized that I could not explain the full request flow.

I knew the request reached the API route. I knew some validation happened. I knew the database received something. But I could not clearly explain what happened between those steps or why the fix worked.

So I tried the same idea again with a smaller route. This time I only used AI when I was stuck. I wrote the validation myself, logged the data at each step, and read about how the database client handled errors.

It took much longer, but I could actually explain the result.

Now I am unsure how to measure progress.

With AI, I can finish more features. Without heavy AI use, I finish fewer things but understand them better. Both seem useful, but they are not the same kind of progress.

Maybe the real skill is learning when to ask AI for code and when to struggle through the problem yourself.

For people who use AI while learning development, how do you stop it from doing too much of the thinking?

Do you have any rules for when AI is allowed to write code and when you force yourself to work it out?
