  • Define useful and who it has to be useful to? If building it helps me improve my craft, let's me decompress and have so fun. That's useful

  • I went through that in the late 90s and saw the writing on the wall of the 2010s. Hoping it's not too cyclic

  • I used to have a cronjob to change them to what I want daily. Only worked for sites with an API, but was better than the user hostile "we know your preferences better than you" garbage.

  • I think the point is that bias happens in all human behavior, but with AI it's more visible than in the general population. Which I'd say is a positive, but I don't believe if it offsets the downsides.

  • For me it helped change some of the approaches I take with my therapist. I also have sever clinical depression. It's also helped me relate to other people and understand why people have an easier time with seemingly basic things, like speaking to a group of people or just being at a table where multiple people are having conversations and I get overwhelmed and can't follow what's going on.

    For instance, I spend a lot of time scripting conversations and I've found if I don't do this it will have a meaningful negative impact on my ability to communicate with people. Almost like if I don't practice setting up the path between a concept and the words, then when I need to talk to other people that connection doesn't exist and I just can't put things to words.
