"Hello, I'm a young and handsome vermin..."

I think autocomplete screwed you, bud...

Your #AI "is an incredibly sophisticated form of pattern matching, so advanced that it can mimic the output of human reasoning for a narrow band of problems. But when tested in a controlled way, its fragility is exposed. It lacks the robust, generalizable, and symbolic logic that underpins true intelligence.

We’re seeing the limits of very expensive #autocomplete that breaks when it matters most."

"I did not realize, but Duck Van Duke is almost a 100 years old."

"Who is this Duck?"

"You know. The actor. Oh... shit... Autocomplete messed it up. I meant Dick Van Dyke."

True story. Last night, I woke up in the middle of the night, as I usually do. I grabbed my phone, as I usually do. I checked profiles on Feeld, as I usually do. While doing this, I managed to run into the profile of a joker who used Dick Van Dyke's picture as its sole picture. This was unusual.

Being the good netizen that I am, I reported it. When I filled the explanation field my phone insisted that I wanted to call him Duck Van Duke.

:headache:

Then I went back to sleep, as I usually do.

For the kids in the audience. I'm attaching a picture of Duck... er... Dick Van Dyke around the age he was in the dating profile.

Oh, look! Another AI tool promising to revolutionize coding with "deep understanding" and "autonomous task execution" 🤖💼. Because developers have been just DYING for a glorified #autocomplete that "contacts sales" for them. 🚀📈

My sister-in-law wants to buy concert tickets; they’re on presale if you have an Amex platinum card via Ticketmaster:

👀🔎 Well, aren't we all just slaves to the almighty autocomplete? This riveting tale of epic proportions chronicles the harrowing #journey of a man lost in the labyrinth of his own #bookmarks, only to end up face-to-face with yesterday's blog, while still trying to remember what he was actually searching for. 🤦‍♂️💻 Spoiler alert: he never finds it.

#Mastodon question, but maybe #MacOS/#Safari question: Is the "suggest as you type" BS I fight with constantly something I need to kill in my instance's prefs page or is it something I need to kill in MacOS or Safari Settings?

I need to kill it (with fire) but where? I've looked but I'm not seeing it (which likely means I looked right at it and said "nah")?

Who's using #vim with #autocomplete for #PowerShell ?

I know you're out there.

I see a bunch of add-ons that purport to do this but it's hard to know what to trust. What's good here?

BONUS: I do most of my PowerShell work in #Linux.

Please #boost!

Governments to have "#IllegalMigration" meeting to be held in the #UK by #HumanRightsLawyer also to be attended by #TechCompanies promoting expensive #AutoComplete programs.

AI can't do your job
"By firing #skilledhumanworkers and replacing them with spicy #autocomplete, #Musk is assuming his final form as both the kind of boss who can be conned into replacing you with a defective chatbot and as the fast-talking sales rep who cons your boss. Musk is transforming key #gov functions into high-speed error-generating machines whose human minders are only the payroll to take the fall for the coming tsunami of #robotfuckups."

Oh thank goodness for that.

The auto "show the closing bracket in the wrong place" feature of the Arduino IDE was starting to get to me...

Just had a weird moment where, as I was typing my password into my password manager, I almost hit Tab expecting it to autocomplete... 🤦

My bf reports having gotten orange chicken aquifers.

I blame autocomplete for this disaster!

:madjoy:

While typing my last toot I typed "self-portrait" and #autocomplete suggested "self-Portugal".

What.

"Mr. Johnson! How ducking nice to bump into you!"

"Mr. Joyce! I don't believe my ducking eyes! Duck! It's been so long, old chum."

"Say, do you still duck your partners?"

"Yes, I do. I duck them long and hard!"

"Jolly good! Well, have a ducking good day, you old duck."

"Same to you, ducker!"
