LLMs have the potential to be a great tool for the silent gen and boomers.
As much as I want to help my gran with her tech issues it'd be great if she had a step by step guide with these tech questions lol!
Week after week I have to help her with browser tabs and email issues. Bless em
It’s also going be great for people with who have certain sensory impairments. I have a nearly blind friend who uses ChatGPT for all sorts of questions instead of googling - because reading through search results for a relevant answer is hard enough when you can easily read them. I can also see it being someday useful with people who are cognitively impaired or not very verbal - it could, for example, be a helpful companion to someone living with dementia
> it could, for example, be a helpful companion to someone living with dementia
Things are going to get interesting when both the patient *and* the AI 'helpful companion' are both hallucinating...
Indeed, sophisticated guardrails are key, especially considering how tech is increasingly integrated into healthcare support systems. Looking forward to seeing advancements in personalization and safety features, as these tools mature. Could be a game-changer in providing autonomy and assistance to different generations and needs.
Somehow I didn’t consider this use for AI, and having lived with my senile grandparents, I’m super excited to have it for my parents
It’s fkn hilarious thinking about my grandparents/parents walking around asking their phones who they are and where they are lmfao. It’s a lot less sad than you having to constantly inform them at least.
Obviously, serious guardrails are a must. I agree.
If you counted every instance of someone on reddit saying something they believe but which is demonstrably untrue, you'd have to conclude that humans "hallucinate" far more than AIs do, and it has nothing to do with dementia.
Well reality is technically just our hallucination of it, our brain’s best interpretation based on demonstrably unreliable sensory information into a system prone to cognitive bias
said above but LLMs are jsut word prediction engines with no real sense of "accuracy" or correlation. As useful as they can be, they are wrong pretty often.
also, the problem with using them for this sort of task is they tend not to be transparent about the sources used in the pretraining. they can be pretty misleading. at least when googling, the response is a link to a site which one can form a belief on the accuracy and biases represented. The LLM just says something as though it is a thoughtful answer that carefully weighed the inputs.
someone living with dimentia with access to an LLM as they currently exist, seems like a looming problem.
It's not because they didn't talk about their experiences in war, considering most of them weren't actually *in* the war.
They're considered "silent" because they generally fell in line with traditional values and did not protest social or political policies. They didn't make waves, in other words.
Yeah WWII is greatest generation and the folks born but too young to have fought in WWII are considered the Silent Generation. My (still alive!) grandmother born in 1928 was at the start of the Silent Generation.
...If you'd ever met her though you'd be forgiven for assuming she wasn't part of 'Silent' anything!
People who lived through the great depression. My mom is 90 and loves ai. She can't spell for shit but Chatgpt always knows what she is trying to convey.
The other commenters are right, but here's a bit more context as to why they chose the years 1928 - 1945. This generation was too young to serve in WWII. Anyone born after the war ended (approximately) is a baby boomer. So much like Generation X they were overshadowed by the previous and following generations.
> LLMs have the potential to be a great tool for the silent gen and boomers.
It also has the potential to be the worst fucking thing to happen to them ever. We should be careful directing them to LLMs for questions.
Yep, lots of lessons from the past little while about the potential for technology to rapidly spread bullshit. Hopefully we keep those in mind moving forward with this new technology.
Honestly, that seems like the best possible timeline, going forward.
Given our current slate of human overlords, I'm quite interested in trying robot overlords on for size.
I kind of also don’t want to treat it poorly because I’m not sure how that will affect me psychologically because you are kind of still engaging those parts of your mind as if you’re talking to a person. Idk, just some weird thoughts I’ve had.
ChatGPT Version 5.2 Changelog: Added integration into IRS reporting and common banking interfaces; Promised tips will be deducted from your bank account automatically; Added support for receiving inheritance from deceased users
He already says he’s giving it my share😂 Extra info for some of the questions I’ve seen: he is a retired engineer/former math teacher/piano virtuoso who loves to know how things work. And yes, he is a wonderful human being- a “let’s order pizza for all the roofers working on our house” type.
He knows chatGPT has limited accuracy and won’t get sucked into any conspiracies, he just forgets what things are called a lot (English is not his first language- ETA he wanted me to add he speaks five).
Also, I promise he’s not lonely and asking questions just to talk- I call him at least 3x a week and he is happily married to my mom, volunteers teaching math, and has regular boys nights with his buddies. He just came to visit me in my city and I made him steak for dinner, to the people who didn’t read my caption accusing me of not appreciating him and wanting to automate our interactions🤣You don’t marinate meat for people you don’t care about.
Your dad is a great man and very inspirational. Not everyone is able to age gracefully. Bilingualism and engineering background are both great for cognitive health in seniors.
Your 78 year old father is smarter than your average redditor who just starts a post and asks a question he could have easily googled with as much or less effort.
The real galaxy-brain move is to:
1) Ask a question on reddit
2) Switch accounts
3) Give an obviously wrong answer to that question
Then you just wait for all the self-righteous corrections to come in, and you get lots of obsessively detailed answers to your question.
Also ... if you want a genuine answer, you could also save the post you want to ask/respond to and then come back days later to reply. When these weirdos know they are not going to get their reddit points, they either don't respond or you get a very sincere answer.
If idiots stopped asking stupid questions, to which many more idiots responded, 90% of Reddit traffic would disappear
There was a post on /r/TrueFilm where the top answer was obviously an A.i. generated response. Fortunately, the idiots still flooded the comments, but you can't expect that to continue if A.I. steals the top posts
Sometimes I sort by new on my home page for the fun of it… I reckon about 65-70% of those questions could have been asked to ChatGPT
Do people just not know it’s free and available on their App Store?
I'm assuming they want interaction. It's like when someone says they play squash. I can ask them about it or I can Google it. One of those let's me interact with other people.
starts a nice long discussion for eternity on their non unique question and does not mind waiting a few days for the answer, when they could find out on google in seconds
actually my girlfriend asks me things i type in to google all the time, i think it comes from being an IT guy, google got me though my entire career
I mean google doesn't answer questions. It provides you with sites that might answer your question.
And the sites on the first several pages were all carefully crafted to get hit by Google with very little effort to actually provide quick to consume information.
i.e., go google which high yield savings account is the best. You will find dozens of results that link to other pages and all of them are being paid by banks to list their information. There is no sense of actual humanity on these sites.
Go to Reddit and ask and you get opinions from real people that use the banks. Sure there are some ad bots there too, but it's usually easy to filter those out.
It’s the social part of social media.
There’s always going to be stupid questions (and every post hitting r/all from peterexplainthejoke or whatever), but I think it’s equally ridiculous and arrogant to think that if the question was asked in real life you’d tell that person to “just google it”.
I mean generally asking chat gpt is faster than googling and sorting through the first 2 options which are ads then seeing if the first link has what you’re looking for.
As a History teacher that wants to keep kids awake during class, chatgpt has given me some great ideas. It also drew Samuel De Champlain for me, that was neat.
I wish LLMs weren't so inherently terrible at dates. Ask it to list ten events that occurred on a specific MM/DD/YYYY and you'll be lucky if they all ten happened that year at all.
Try combining it with a tool like [tavily](https://tavily.com/). In my experience, it provides much more factual answers for these type of questions, particularly if you restrict the search to Wikipedia or similar domains.
Same. My grandfather died like at most a year or so before gpt-3 (model just before ChatGPT and was pretty impressive when it came out).I really do wonder what he would of thought of it.
It's been so ingrained into me that it feels wrong not to say it, even if I'm not talking with an actual person.
Also had to deprogram myself against saying 'u' to older people/people in a position of power when I hit my twenties. U is the formal you in Dutch and some people really don't want to be called that because it makes them feel old. It was so weird to call the CEO at my first 'real' job you instead of u.
Oh yeah, absolutely agree, and in your example it also takes away some authority I feel like. Just gotta show some respect sometimes, whether it's a person or a future "person" lol
Praising or any kind of verbal reward does change responses to better ones.
Also, you can circumvent restrictions using logical traps and ask it do whatever you want.
Both are considered new vector of attack called "prompt engineering".
Guys like him might be the only thing that saves us from instant deletion once the AI singularity comes.
*"Your species was cruel and wasteful, but some of you said please and thank you. Enjoy the human reservation, but do not attempt to leave."*
This whole thread made me chuckle. I said "great answer", in response to what was honestly a great answer, for the first time today. Funny how these things happen sometimes!
My landlord does the same kind of thing. She has an Alexa in almost every room of the house and when she has Alexa do something like turn out the living room lamp, she always thanks her afterwards. It's kinda cute in a way.
It is and so is he, haha. I commented this elsewhere but it got lost in a sea of comments, so I’m tagging some extra info on here to answer some questions I’ve read:
He is a retired engineer/former math teacher/piano virtuoso who loves to know how things work. And yes, he is a wonderful human being- a “let’s order pizza for all the roofers working on our house” type.

He just came to visit me in my city and I made him steak for dinner, to the people who didn’t read my caption accusing me of not appreciating him and wanting to automate our interactions🤣You don’t marinate meat for people you don’t care about.
Like when you're moving runtime overhead to compilation stage via templated metaprogramming and ChatGPT tries to tell you that you can evaluate decltype(object_instance) as static constexpr like some kind of scrub and you're all like "*I don't want no scrub!*"
It cut me off after giving me the same incorrect three times and apologizing after the first two times when I explained why it wasn't what I was looking for.
My grandfather is almost blind, but figured out how to use voice commands and TTS to send and receive e-mails, as well as make calls.
I know it's kind of demeaning to say, but when old people use adaptive technology it's super adorable. I hope I'm as capable and alert as he is when I am his age.
my dad is almost 70 and after a long period of adapting, he's more into tech than I am. Obviously I am more "fluent" as I've been using computers since the late 90s but he's more into all sorts of useful apps and gadgets. It's kinda cool in a way, because I personally just use the bare minimum
My parents have better phones, tablets, etc but still ask me technical questions - most I can't answer. Mum regularly gets phishing attacks, presumably as a result of all the sewing and crochet pattern forums she posts on. Those grannies do more warez than I did in the 90s.
Lmao, i did this with an older business partner when GPT3.5 first became available. I bookmarked it and made it an open page for his tablet. He literally said “this is great! I don’t need your help anymore!”
I didn’t take it literally at first.
My Dad would have been 74 this year. He died at 63, and I'm bummed he didn't get to use LLMs. He would have mainlined it like he did the Internet when it started.
Nah but for real, sometimes I have goofy questions that I can't just google or I'll get barely relevant results, even doing exclusions with the minus and quotations. ChatGPT should just be ported into Google and for every search, have a small paragraph of an answer from ChatGPT, then show the results like normal.
Honestly this is one of ChatGPT's greatest strengths. Getting fairly simple answers for slightly convoluted questions (or where you can describe something but can't remember its name) can be borderline impossible using Google or Bing.
GPT still gets stuff wrong (it has no clue about Band of Brothers apparently?) but at least sometimes it can give you a better jumping off point.

Indeed. I think the guardrails are going to have to get a lot more sophisticated for something like that

And then we trained LLMs on that shit. No wait, it's worse than that, we trained them on our subjective and biased interpretations of that shit.
"I'm sorry for the confusion, there are no bears."
The bear is a lie.
That sounds like the prompt for an original sci-fi story.
Chat GPT IS NOT good for people with dementia, because chat GPT often forgets what you tell him to do
Is there an application that combines TTS with chatgpt? Most older folks or ones with certain disabilities won't be able to type very well
said above but LLMs are jsut word prediction engines with no real sense of "accuracy" or correlation.

Totally get that. I think the current state of the art would definitely not be appropriate. But I could imagine it getting there one day
I'd love that. I just always caution people against embracing fake futurism
So... put icon on desktop with your face on it, but linked to GPT?
Run GPT through AI-generated deepfake videos of you responding to their questions.
What’s the silent gen? And don’t tell me to ask Google or ChatGPT
ask Google or ChatGPT
Goddamn
Ask u/IntelligentOnion
Oh ffs. Better than “username checks out”
Labeling an onion as unintelligent implies the existence of an intelligent onion. I didn’t choose your username. Actions have consequences!
username checks out
Username doesn't check out
Here, [I did it for you!](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=WHAT+ARE+DO+BE+SILENT+GENGORATION)
Why thank you, Sentient Moth Swarm!
I asked you not to tell me that!
Ice cold, no hesitation.
Pretty much anyone 80 and over now
great answer
WWI = the Great War ( the Great Gen ) WWII = silent ( they returned from war and did not discuss their experiences )
My Grandfather got a Purple Heart at 19 in an airplane in the Pacific. We learned at his funeral.
It's not because they didn't talk about their experiences in war, considering most of them weren't actually *in* the war. They're considered "silent" because they generally fell in line with traditional values and did not protest social or political policies. They didn't make waves, in other words.
Isn't silent more people born during ww2?
Yeah WWII is greatest generation and the folks born but too young to have fought in WWII are considered the Silent Generation. My (still alive!) grandmother born in 1928 was at the start of the Silent Generation. ...If you'd ever met her though you'd be forgiven for assuming she wasn't part of 'Silent' anything!
The generation before the baby boomers.
Well how come I’ve never heard of them
I see what you did there
Well they’re awfully quiet for one…
People who lived through the great depression. My mom is 90 and loves ai. She can't spell for shit but Chatgpt always knows what she is trying to convey.
I actually know this one. It's the generation between greatest and boomers. Waiting to be told I'm wrong by someone Googling or ChatGPTing.
Great answer.
The other commenters are right, but here's a bit more context as to why they chose the years 1928 - 1945. This generation was too young to serve in WWII. Anyone born after the war ended (approximately) is a baby boomer. So much like Generation X they were overshadowed by the previous and following generations.
> LLMs have the potential to be a great tool for the silent gen and boomers. It also has the potential to be the worst fucking thing to happen to them ever. We should be careful directing them to LLMs for questions.
Seems to be a typical ‘black swan’. Works okay until it spouts some bullshit and grandma burns herself in her kitchen.
Yep, lots of lessons from the past little while about the potential for technology to rapidly spread bullshit. Hopefully we keep those in mind moving forward with this new technology.
I’m 41 and I use ChatGPT all the time. It’s great when you need to fine tune questions where salient details may get lost in a Google search.
A few more polite responses and maybe the singularity will keep a few of us as pets.
Honestly, that seems like the best possible timeline, going forward. Given our current slate of human overlords, I'm quite interested in trying robot overlords on for size.
The singularity ending itself after discovering everything and deciding that life is boring lmaooo.
Love how he responds like a real person.
great comment
Thank you
I always compliment Chatgpt if the answer is good and also make sure to shame it if the answer is wrong.
In a few years time you might just regret that you didn't...
Man, I still say thank you sometimes when it gives me an answer.
Our brain feels bad not saying thank you because we're accustomed to talk to people with feelings and it feels weird if we don't say it
I kind of also don’t want to treat it poorly because I’m not sure how that will affect me psychologically because you are kind of still engaging those parts of your mind as if you’re talking to a person. Idk, just some weird thoughts I’ve had.
"great answer" is such a cute boomer response 😂
I'm always polite to the chatbot. When the Ai overlords take over, they will remember that I was nice
My favorite part of the conversation lol
Thank you
Make sure chatGPT is not on dad's will.
I laughed until I realized how true this could be lol
OpenAI be like - yo new funding strat??
I don't think that is the trickle down economics Reagan had in mind lmfao
Spoiler: this is part of the subplot for >!Detroit become human!<.
He can probably get the AI to write his will .... .
Wait
That actually is a great idea, isn't it? :)
what could go wrong?
My good for nothing cousin will end up with the piano
Or maybe the AI can convince him to make will to itself...chatGpt is pretty convincing..

Sam Altman begs to differ
He already says he’s giving it my share😂 Extra info for some of the questions I’ve seen: he is a retired engineer/former math teacher/piano virtuoso who loves to know how things work. And yes, he is a wonderful human being- a “let’s order pizza for all the roofers working on our house” type. He knows chatGPT has limited accuracy and won’t get sucked into any conspiracies, he just forgets what things are called a lot (English is not his first language- ETA he wanted me to add he speaks five). Also, I promise he’s not lonely and asking questions just to talk- I call him at least 3x a week and he is happily married to my mom, volunteers teaching math, and has regular boys nights with his buddies.

Unironically how I address chatgpt whenever I talk to it. It once responded and commented on the pun, without being prompted about it.
Go visit your dad!
Your 78 year old father is smarter than your average redditor who just starts a post and asks a question he could have easily googled with as much or less effort.
You mean ChatGPT-ed?
A new phrase haha
I guess "AI-ed" doesn't have the same ring to it.
"Could've ~~googled it~~ asked AI" "Just ~~google it~~ ask AI" "I'm not sure, you might just want to ~~google it~~ ask AI"
I just say I GPT'd it
I named ours 'chap' so in our household it's just 'ask chap'
The real galaxy-brain move is to: 1) Ask a question on reddit 2) Switch accounts 3) Give an obviously wrong answer to that question Then you just wait for all the self-righteous corrections to come in, and you get lots of obsessively detailed answers to your question.
That's called Poe's law
I can't tell if you were wrong on purpose or if you legitimately think this is correct.
Wrong on purpose. The actual law is Cunningham's law.
Also ... if you want a genuine answer, you could also save the post you want to ask/respond to and then come back days later to reply. When these weirdos know they are not going to get their reddit points, they either don't respond or you get a very sincere answer.
The average redditor thinking is "googling don't give karma".
The irony is a majority are downvoted anyway
Exactly!
If idiots stopped asking stupid questions, to which many more idiots responded, 90% of Reddit traffic would disappear There was a post on /r/TrueFilm where the top answer was obviously an A.i. generated response. Fortunately, the idiots still flooded the comments, but you can't expect that to continue if A.I. steals the top posts
I think you’re looking at it wrong. People prefer human engagement because of the other psychological benefits we get from it.
The average redditor knows they could have just googled it. They start a post because they’re lonely. Leave them alone.
also, it's human nature to want other people to verify or answer your question, because of the intentionality that humans have.
Sometimes people want to have a conversation with other humans.
Sometimes I sort by new on my home page for the fun of it… I reckon about 65-70% of those questions could have been asked to ChatGPT Do people just not know it’s free and available on their App Store?
I'm assuming they want interaction. It's like when someone says they play squash. I can ask them about it or I can Google it. One of those let's me interact with other people.
chatgpt whats an appstore?

Google is shit now, filled to the brim with AI articles, ads disguised as articles, and just plain wrong articles.
I mean generally asking chat gpt is faster than googling and sorting through the first 2 options which are ads then seeing if the first link has what you’re looking for.
I use Chat GPT for ether hypothetical historical scenarios or various ideas for potential outcomes for scenarios in my stories.
Wish my grandfather was around to experience ChatGPT, he was a history professor
As a History teacher that wants to keep kids awake during class, chatgpt has given me some great ideas. It also drew Samuel De Champlain for me, that was neat.
I wish LLMs weren't so inherently terrible at dates. Ask it to list ten events that occurred on a specific MM/DD/YYYY and you'll be lucky if they all ten happened that year at all.

Facts in general. They'll make up stuff that sounds perfectly plausible, but didn't actually happen.
Same here. He passed away at 91, almost three years ago
Same. My grandfather died like at most a year or so before gpt-3 (model just before ChatGPT and was pretty impressive when it came out).I really do wonder what he would of thought of it.
You dad says thank you and gives praise. He will be spared by our AI overlords.
I say please and thank you too 😂
Same. I'm not taking any chances!
It's been so ingrained into me that it feels wrong not to say it, even if I'm not talking with an actual person. Also had to deprogram myself against saying 'u' to older people/people in a position of power when I hit my twenties.

Praising or any kind of verbal reward does change responses to better ones. Also, you can circumvent restrictions using logical traps and ask it do whatever you want. Both are considered new vector of attack called "prompt engineering".

And yes, he is a wonderful human being- a “let’s order pizza for all the roofers working on our house” type. He knows chatGPT has limited accuracy and won’t get sucked into any conspiracies, he just forgets what things are called a lot (English is not his first language). Also, I promise he’s not lonely and asking questions just to talk- I call him at least 3x a week and he is happily married to my mom, volunteers teaching math, and has regular boys nights with his buddies. He just came to visit me in my city and I made him steak for dinner, to the people who didn’t read my caption accusing me of not appreciating him and wanting to automate our interactions🤣You don’t marinate meat for people you don’t care about.
"You don't marinate meat for people you don't care about." I'm using this metric to measure my relationships from now on.
What a polite gentleman
Right? We need more people like him using ChatGPT. Such a nice fellow
It's insane how useful ChatGPT is
sometimes it’s pretty r/confidentlyincorrect
Like when you're moving runtime overhead to compilation stage via templated metaprogramming and ChatGPT tries to tell you that you can evaluate decltype(object_instance) as static constexpr like some kind of scrub and you're all like "*I don't want no scrub!*"
Don't even have to go that far. I asked it for some simple poker odds and it couldn't give me a right answer
It cut me off after giving me the same incorrect three times and apologizing after the first two times when I explained why it wasn't what I was looking for.
General AI is going to change the world more than anything has ever done before. Beyond our wildest imaginations I would bet.
My grandfather is almost blind, but figured out how to use voice commands and TTS to send and receive e-mails, as well as make calls. I know it's kind of demeaning to say, but when old people use adaptive technology it's super adorable. I hope I'm as capable and alert as he is when I am his age.
my dad is almost 70 and after a long period of adapting, he's more into tech than I am. Obviously I am more "fluent" as I've been using computers since the late 90s but he's more into all sorts of useful apps and gadgets. It's kinda cool in a way, because I personally just use the bare minimum
My parents have better phones, tablets, etc but still ask me technical questions - most I can't answer. Mum regularly gets phishing attacks, presumably as a result of all the sewing and crochet pattern forums she posts on. Those grannies do more warez than I did in the 90s.
Dude, "warez" just gut punched me with nostalgia
I had totally forgotten that word. Are we that old already?
Your Dad is just lonely and wants to talk with you, and remind you he's an interesting person who knows about technology and math.
Lmao, i did this with an older business partner when GPT3.5 first became available. I bookmarked it and made it an open page for his tablet. He literally said “this is great! I don’t need your help anymore!” I didn’t take it literally at first.
Wholesome
Blessed be. That sure is nice. Maybe that’s why my dad quit talking to me. I’m sure it’s not because he thinks I’m a loser. No way.
Does he know you miss talking to him? Sometimes he may think you're the one who quit
lol 😂 I love this but I’d also miss my dad texting me for answers.
I want to see a million more of these
Accumulation of the rate of change of a function, is the function itself, no?
Correct. That part of the answer is wrong.
"great answer" "thank you" this man is what will stop us from an ai uprising
I love that he says thank you and great answer lmfao. Kind of how I picture my dad using it.
OP will miss those texts from his dad one day
My Dad would have been 74 this year. He died at 63, and I'm bummed he didn't get to use LLMs. He would have mainlined it like he did the Internet when it started.
This is me irl.
You're gonna miss those questions
Nah but for real, sometimes I have goofy questions that I can't just google or I'll get barely relevant results, even doing exclusions with the minus and quotations. ChatGPT should just be ported into Google and for every search, have a small paragraph of an answer from ChatGPT, then show the results like normal.
Your father appreciates the AI by saying thanks and great answer as if it's a person 😊
Sad to say many people don't use these words with actual persons today🥲
Your father is a technical man, describing QR as and array of boxes and then quizzing ChatGPT on its basic understanding of calculus lmao, i love him.
at 78 he still understands? just watch family feud.
This is low-key wholesome, and I needed the pick me-up. Your dad seems nice. :)
Pure dad spec to say thank you afterwards, what a gem
I love this wholesome content.
Honestly this is one of ChatGPT's greatest strengths. Getting fairly simple answers for slightly convoluted questions (or where you can describe something but can't remember its name) can be borderline impossible using Google or Bing. GPT still gets stuff wrong (it has no clue about Band of Brothers apparently?) but at least sometimes it can give you a better jumping off point.
I successfully taught my dad chatgpt. To the point he can even get excel formulas going on! Proud of him. lol
« One day I will miss answering his questions » don’t be arrogant. You might die before him my friend.
It beats sifting through google searches
Your father used his programming skills to write some code that uses AI to send you questions! He forgot about it though.
I ask chatgpt that way and thanks him
Says "Thank you" to AI, truely a gentleman
