My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We're in our early 40s.

Gen X here, not for me but I see a lot of my age group struggling with AI. I keep trying to get them to use it and I'm even buying it for the office and it's interesting to see the reactions.

The only Gen X problem I've noticed so far is some overly try to use it without fact checking it, it's like they think they've found an actually intelligent being.

Oh my I love that! How do I get my Dad to befriend Chat GPT?

[–] livus@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

ChatGPT is a bit dry but I bet he could befriend another AI called Pi; that thing sounds so much like a human who is interested in your life.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh hell yeah! Thank you!

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, people have major misunderstandings of the limitations of “AI” and appropriate uses. Some of the questions people think to ask it are just, what? They seem to think ChatGPT actually knows everything and has the ability to reason.

Yeah it's wild. Then they parrot it (or worse, try to use its output at work as if it was created by a human) as if it's infallible.
