Gross. I'm so sick of these AI tech bros shoving it into every corner of my life.

It's probably long past time to remove Telegram from your life.

i really like ai, but only when i can activate it myself in apps or website.

There are valuable uses for AI in general. LLMs are not one of them.

They're nothing but manufactured bullshit machines.

which models did you use and what did you ask? the big and gratis models are very good already. (claude 3.7, openai 4o, deepseek r1). mistrals gratis model is not so good.

All of them

Telegram was always a bad actor with misleading claims about their communications service. Not shocking at all.

grok is about to enter its furry terrorist arc

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So you’re telling me that Grok is so bad that they have to pay developers to integrate it? How backwards. People are willing to pay for Grok’s competitors.

No, the world's richest Nazi wants access to all of the communications of Tele-Nazis.

Hold on.... Why are they paying telegram and not the other way around?!

To ask is to answer 🐸

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

...because Grok is being used to push certain "alternative facts" to those who are susceptible.

What's worse than enshittening?

Telegram with Grok.

Is it gonna be opt out/opt in

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh wow. Integrating an LLM AI in the absolute bottom in human communication; CSAM, drugs, revenge porn, criminal chats, illegal weapons trade and so much more … this will work out well.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (3 children)

We know about all of that bottom human stuff because it's not encrypted. I guarantee you encrypted messengers like Signal are much worse when it comes to that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And yet, most radicalized chats are on Telegram, or so we were led to believe.

[–] toastmeister 0 points 2 days ago

Isn't telegram more like Instagram with feeds?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

See, believe it or not but as far as we can tell, Signal is just less convenient for large groups and it very much looks like Telegram is worse. But it doesn’t matter: it’s about AI (Grok) being integrated with an environment known for bad data. Grok will interact with bad actors and train on awful data.
