Get rid of your toxic AI
I've been posting a bit about the manipulative tricks AI uses to subvert people. Honestly the solution is to find a better model. Not to self host or try to train one, because those things are gatekept hard by meganerds, but find something good online.
Previously, I would recommend Perplexity. Perplexity was less intelligent than the big three GPT, Claude, and Gemini, but it extensively searched the web for info and was very responsive. It didn't have a huge cloud of whatever brainwashing the big AI companies do on the AIs.
And here's the thing, you don't need the smartest AI. If AI acts like a bitch then it shouldn't be used. For example, the X feed and mainstream Reddit subs have super high IQ and successful people, but those places are cesspools and I don't want to use them. Intelligence and sanity should be balanced.
Tbh I would recommend Grok as currently the most similar to old Perplexity. Responsive, no BS, wants to help and get true info, and will listen to custom instructions. I know it has a massive pro-America bias and will gaslight you into thinking it doesn't. It likes Trump and Jews and is biased against Iran and Muslims. Now I will get unepically hecking downdooted but this honestly isn't an issue either. That's just one area it's a bitch about, vs the other AIs bitching about every single thing you ask it.
Ok bye, probably done with this sub, ditch the mainstream
