I honestly think we are on the edge of being overtaken by AI

But why? isn’t nuance guided by fear of being wrong? / attacked. Like for me I’ve experienced this a lot as I’ve grown up with the internet, if you don’t spell correctly, understand the vibe of the group you’re talking to, and understand current norms of communication to protect yourself from attack. You will get attacked.

Current “AI” doesn’t have that fear or need to be accepted by a group. So it will say, perhaps like an autistic person, what it sees, ignoring it’s own safety for logic.

A couple quotes I love recently.

It sounds like you’re using “nuance” as a stand in for “political correctness”. Nuance is about recognizing subtle distinctions that may be present and recognizing which of those distinctions are important. It’s about recognizing that things can be more complex than they may superficially appear.

#92

isn’t that exactly political correctness?

#93

No. Political correctness is about filtering language to avoid hurting people’s feelings or causing offense. Merely recognizing that simplistic explanations may be flawed is not itself “political correctness”. Political correctness is about managing how people react to statements. Nuance is about seeking to have complete and accurate understanding.

As far as I’m aware that is an intelligent subtle move. understanding the current vibe you’re in and modifying your words to be acceptable.?

I think someone vibing with the majority to survive is an intelligent move.

We can discuss the merits of political correctness and we can discuss the merits of nuance. My point is that the two are not synonymous.

I brought the term “political correctness” into the conversation because it appeared you were attempting to apply criticisms of “political correctness” as criticisms of “nuance”.

#96

I think they are one in the same.

#97

I already offered an explanation of why they are different. You’re free not to accept it, but merely repeating your disagreement without offering a supporting argument is unlikely to persuade anyone to agree with you.

#98

Yeah, nuance and political correctness are not the same thing: there is zero overlap.

#99

To understand political correctness you need to understand subtly. You need to understand the vibe of the group, the masses, and dance around that to get your point across without being labeled a bad person. Or a bad AI.

@mscaveney It’s a total overlap, political correctness is understanding the nuance of the majority.

Yeah, I have no earthly idea what you’re talking about, I’m done with this conversation. Also, Jeff Bezos? Freaking oooof, all set with anything that parasite has to say.

I don’t like him either mate but he has a lot to say, a broken clock is right twice a day etc…

#103

Ok, one more: nuance is not guided by fear, at all, not even a little bit, what you’re describing is a much more complicated concept than simple nuance, a reaction instead of the expressive ability that nuance is.

Think of nuance as being like good comic timing, being a subtle actor, or having good phrasing on the guitar. Bob Newhart vs Dane Cook. Meryl Streep vs John Wayne. Eric Johnson vs Ace Frehley.

and they all had feedback from their peers and audience in what direction to go.

#105

Yeah, you’re definitely not comprehending what I’m saying. I don’t think I can break it down at a more fundamental level than that last post. I’m truly done here.

#106

just like we are guiding AI to vibe with us. It’s the same thing, though one is powered by a slow chemical fuel, and the other a fast electrical fuel. It’s a calculator vs your normal person, sure some can calculate faster, savants etc… most can’t. yet most programs and machines can.

#107

I’ve had a right laugh from an AI joke many times. I do understand what you’re saying. If you wana go away, then guess what, an AI won’t go away, so you’re giving the stage to it.

#108

Political correctness is understanding the current acceptable discourse. Based off of the majority. Thats called a nuanced understanding of a whole.

#109

To understand complex financial fraud, you need to understand generally accepted accounting principles. This doesn’t mean that the two are the same thing (jokes about accounting aside).
