Most Linux users disable Telemetry, so I think it's probably missing around 10%
For the fuck of it, I asked AI to guesstimate the market share
Why post spam?
You're spam
I asked chatGPT if this was true and it just said that it had sex with your mom
The thing is, I seriously consider you to be spamming. I introduced a variable which is likely unaccounted for and came back later with something which I personally found interesting and insightful that I wanted to share. It doesn't advertise any services at all, not in being mentioned or any links and was posted as a sub comment to not cause issues at the top level. It simply adds further to the concept that I introduced. By very definition, not spam. Now whatever you or anyone feel about AI, asking it to speculate given the vast amounts of data it has access to, is what it's there for. On the other hand, posting just to say you don't like something doesn't add anything to any conversation other than making yourself feel good.
You posted something that is about as wanted or relevant as a random markov chain output, there's literally no world where pasting random LLM output into comments isn't spam.
The only thing that separates you and an actual spam bot is that you prepended "I asked an LLM about this."
Take a step back. You're arguing with someone because they found something interesting and shared it. What in the post police is even happening here?
llm output isnt interesting when we know its just making shit up
To you
it makes shit up to everyone
spam in the place where i live
I'm not gonna be a dick about it, but you really shouldn't be asking AI (or at least not a language model, use a reasoning model) things like this and accepting what they say as fact.
The information these models have is out of date
The information these models give is inaccurate
You were taught how to research in school, do the math yourself instead of killing your critical thinking skills by letting an AI do the work for you.
I literally asked it to guesstimate and stated as such:
It wasn't presented as fact. In fact I even provided the reasoning so if anyone wanted they could rip it apart, because I felt that makes more sense than just posting a conclusion without context
It provided absolutely nothing to the thread, your "for the fuck of it" is literally just "hey, here's some dumb shit that just takes up space, has no value and no reason to be trusted, and I wasted a thousand times more energy to make it happen than if I just had written a comment". Stop using AI, you're only making yourself dumber and wasting so much energy on bullshit. Be better.
Don't listen to the haters but it would have been nice if you collapsed this because it is very long and generalized to the point that it is pretty much an eyesore. Plus most people can ask their AI of choosing semi-random topics. I don't see what was interesting in the AI response at all. It states some blatantly obvious facts and is rather too wordy. I intentionally include into the system prompt or "personalization" about how I like things to be kept short and to not reiterate what I had posted especially if it just sounds like the "AI" is thinking out loud.
