Hello everyone did you need someone in here being a complete pedant? Here I am!
I would spell this slopperator, not sloperator. Putting only one consonant between O and E makes this read "SLOPE-r-ator", like the slope of a hill. Also, there's precedent, if you have a lot of slop, maybe you're sloppy (two p's).
Sloperator sounds like someone who really likes linear regression.
I'm an artist, but I lived with three engineers in college and once had to go to a night class and take notes for one of them because I lost a bet. That one note-taking session gave me a huge appreciation for what engineers do.
Calling LLM querying bullshit "engineering" is monumentally stupid.
It took me 5 years of my life to obtain my M.Eng. and fucking Americans over there spray their diarrhea over their keyboards and think they're the same. Fuck that shit.
Yeah, I have an art degree and am a professional painter myself. I'm still getting gigs, but a lot of people are foregoing human creations for slop these days.
I'm currently mentally (and physically) handicapped. I really hope a cure is found so that I can answer the question "Did you use AI for coding?" with "Yes, when I was mentally handicapped."
Maybe accepted but still inaccurate, it's a simulation, not a proper artificial network, which, by definition, would be a proper "hardware".
And for the "artificial" term, I don't know, everything humanity does is artificial, so it's a bit superfluous.
Not sure these definitions are any better. Why is hardware proper by definition? And where is the software delineation? Would an fpga be hardware or software? How would this differ from our own neurons in that how they fire versus what they do is ill defined? I think trying to pin down where computational work is done biologically is a bit of a pointless exercise right now. Similarly trying to pin out definitions we use in computer science to match those ill understood biological constraints is also premature general ai using non biological computation may end up being vastly different from biology.
And traditionally we just call things a neural network artificial is implied give we are running on a digital computer.
Also the statement everything humanity does being artificial is needlessly broad. I don’t think you could argue reproduction of humans is artificial.

Opperator then too?

This kind of pedantry is 100% not needed.
However, it absolutely is wanted. You're wonderful, keep being you.

They're a smooth opperator.

I love you and respect you, but I still like 'sloperator' better.
The double p just looks too pretentious.
I think the slope rator misreading is an acceptable price to pay.

Hello, how mad do you get over the suffix "-copter"?
As "helicopter" is made of "helico" (~helix, twisty) + "pter" (wing).
Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 257d
You're getting caught up on slope being a different word. If you think of it as slow-per-ator it still works towards the intent.

Was this an ai comment?

It had a point and it made that point in one small paragraph with a little personality and no emojis or em-dashes.

lol dolphins can have gendered pronouns, but comments can't.

Oh shit, I guess it makes sense lol. See, you can tell I'm not AI because I'm stupid sometimes

No, I wrote it myself.

My friend came up with “promptologist,” which goes well with all the AI butthole logos

There is no way people are actually calling themselves prompt engineers. I refuse

I like the term "prompt fondler".

As a mechanical engineer, if i hear someone say they are a prompt engineer they’re getting slapped

It's not AI, it's neural network simulation, nothing fancy, just chain of ponderated nods
So from now
AI→ NSmagic_lobster_party@fedia.io · 0 pts · 258d
ANN (artificial neural networks) is the more accepted terminology
Labna@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 258d
Maybe accepted but still inaccurate, it's a simulation, not a proper artificial network, which, by definition, would be a proper "hardware".
And for the "artificial" term, I don't know, everything humanity does is artificial, so it's a bit superfluous.
