alt Hacker NewsI love how a number crunching program can be deeply humanly "horrorized" and "sorry" for wiping out a drive. Those are still feelings reserved only for real human beings, and not computer programs emitting garbage. This is vibe insulting to anyone that don't understand how "AI" works.
I'm sorry for the person who lost their stuff but this is a reminder that in 2025 you STILL need to know what you are doing and if you don't then put your hands away from the keyboard if you think you can lose valuable data.
You simply don't vibe command a computer.

Tbh missing a quote around a path is the most human mistake I can think of. The real issue here is you never know with a 100% certainty what Gemini 3 personality you’re gonna get. Is it going to be the pedantic expert or Mr. Bean (aka Butterfingers).
> ... vibe insulting ...
Modern lingo like this seems so unthoughtful to me. I am not old by any metric, but I feel so separated when I read things like this. I wanted to call it stupid but I suppose it's more pleasing to 15 to 20 year olds?
This is akin to a psychopath telling you they're "sorry" (or "sorry you feel that way" :v) when they feel that's what they should be telling you. As with anything LLM, there may or may not be any real truth backing whatever is communicated back to the user.
Eh, I think it depends on the context. A production system of a business you’re working for or anything where you have a professional responsibility, yeah obviously don’t vibe command, but I’ve been able to both learn so much and do so much more in the world of self hosting my own stuff at home ever since I started using llms.
Now, with this realization, assess the narrative that every AI company is pushing down our throat and tell me how in the world we got here. The reckoning can’t come soon enough.
AI currently is a broken, fragmented replica of a human, but any discussion about what is "reserved" to whom and "how AI works" is only you trying to protect your self-worth and the worth of your species by drawing arbitrary linguistic lines and coming up with two sets of words to describe the same phenomena, like "it's not thinking, it's computing". It doesn't matter what you call it.
I think AI is gonna be 99% bad news for humanity, but don't blame AI for it. We lost the right to be "insulted" by AI acting like a human when we TRAINED IT ON LITERALLY ALL OUR CONTENT. It was grown FROM NOTHING to act as a human, so WTF do you expect it to do?
> Those are still feelings reserved only for real human beings
Those aren't feelings, they are words associated with a negative outcome that resulted from the actions of the subject.
