I wasn’t implying that, but a new instance of the same model also uses up resources to manufacture.

That would be fine if parts like the battery, charger port and microphone were replaceable. But they’re not, and so I need a new phone when there’s no capacity left in my existing one.

The article says “sometimes provide less-accurate and less-truthful responses to users who have lower English proficiency”. This is what I was commenting on. I don’t have enough understanding to comment on your case.

I mean… isn’t it just logical that if you express yourself ambiguously, you are more likely to get a poor response? Humans and chatbots alike need clarity to respond appropriately. I don’t think we can ever expect things to work differently.

The cognitive ceiling. Research by Ericsson, Mark, and Newport shows that 3-4 hours is the daily maximum for concentrated effort. Beyond that, diminishing returns.

“Diminishing returns” is not the same as zero returns. You’ll get more coding done if you work eight hours a day than four hours a day. There’s certainly a point where the quality gets so low that the returns decrease (by introducing bugs / technical debt / stuff you have to rewrite the next day), but in my experience 4 hours is not it.

In fact, if the problem is very complicated then it might even take you three hours just to get up to speed with what you were doing the day before.

But the article is about what material is used as a conductor

Are you implying that gold isolates better from interference than copper?

Dude, the problem is you have no fucking idea if it’s wrong yourself, have nothing to back it up

That’s not true. For starters you can evaluate it on its own merits to see if it makes logical sense - the AI can help solve a maths equation for you and you can see that it checks out without needing something else to back it up.

Second, agentic or multiple-step AI:s will dig out the sources for you so you can check them. It’s just a smarter search engine with no ads and better focus on the question asked.
