Thinking about SVSSS AU/fic prompt where trial happens but SQQ just doesn't talk.

There no point defending himself, he's going to be found guilty why make a fool of himself or a show. He'll just sit here silently and let things happen smoothly so Binghe can have his revenge

Of course everyone is like 'SQQ defend you self!' cang qiong is freaking out and Binghe is just furious and confused Shizun answer the questions! Why aren't you saying anything!

Eventually the bust out a truth telling artifact to get truth out... only now system isn't letting SQQ answer questions that would reveal he isn't SJ.

So everyone is freaking out like SQQ interesting are most powerful artifacts??? what the fuck?!

Eventually Binghe snaps and yells out 'why won't Shizun defend himself??'

This shocking SQQ and something he can answer

'Because Binghe wants me to be guilty'

Everyone just freezing like 'what the fuck?'while SQQ is just sitting there confused like he hasn't just said something insane.

for the record im not technially 100% anti-AI, in the sense that its a broad category of tech being lumped under one umbrella term so it feels over-zealous to say i hate all of it all the time forever. but i also think trying to discuss what it actually IS good for is difficult right now when i cant take one step without something trying to convince me to use chatgpt to summarize my life and speed up my hobbies and turn my friends into chatbots and optimize my life into oblivion. i am certain there is nuance to the topic but can we stop cramming the square peg into the round hole before you start trying to sell me on the legitimate benefits of the square peg. please.

Neural Nets have existed for decades and are genuinely useful. It's a form of AI that recognizes patterns, and can do stuff like identify cancer cells, tell whether an egg is fertilized or not, detect fraud, and optimize routes.

Those are Expert Systems, tuned to do exactly one thing. If you (say) ask a medical expert system a question about financial law, it's useless. The autopilot that flies a 787 has no idea how to drive a truck on the freeway. A Coulter Counter is excellent at identifying lymphocytes in a blood sample but can't predict the next card in a blackjack game.

And so on.

The problem with so-called generalized AI (AGI) is that we don't have that yet. It doesn't exist. It MIGHT some day, but AGI has been "10 years away" since the 1980s. The goals keep moving as we learn more about how people and machines process data.

But the current crop of AI techbros have been selling generative Large Language Model AI (LLM) as AGI because generative systems do a good job of faking it. There's no actual thought going on, merely the illusion of thought via predicting the next word in a sentence accurately.

If you let a human toddler listen to 800 hours of YouTube car influencer videos, that toddler might end up sounding like a car influencer. They'd parrot horsepower numbers and 0 to 60 times, mention EV range and MSRP numbers.

But they wouldn't understand any of it.

That's ChatGPT.

And yeah, it's worse than useless because it doesn't even know when it's lying or hallucinating. It just babbles convincingly until you stop it.

But for techbros to make money selling that as "AI"? It's the perfect scam, especially if you don't understand how it works.

I fucking hate it.

It's honestly so ironic how the fandom decided YJH is this perpetually pissed-off guy who's always scowling and ready to bite someone's head off out of nowhere. Like...have we read the same book, cuz I become less and less sure??? The man is mostly just there, pretty much existing neutrally. He's not angry, he's just not putting on a friendly face for anyone, and unless KDJ does something stupid (which, let's be real, happens a lot) he's actually chill. People see a dude who doesn't smile on command and go "ah yes, rage machine!!!" Fuck no, my babygirl is just tired and selectively annoyed and has a resting bitch face.

I hate seeing this continuous depiction of KDJ in fan media as the kind of guy who goes "noooo Joonghyuk-ah physical violence shouldn't be your first option!!🥺😰😟" when in fact he's more of a "noooo Joonghyuk-ah physical violence shouldn't be your first option!! Let me orchestrate a 4D chess scheme that will leave them questioning their entire existence and emotionally eviscerate them so thoroughly they beg you to just kill them already and then you can punch them" guy
