I wish the AIs were more like the ones from HouseKeeper
It responds the way it thinks you want so you’re kinda telling on yourself lol.
I don’t know about that. I tried using both ChatGPT and Gemini to brainstorm for ideas for the name and branding of a woodworking Peertube channel. They both struck me as similar yes men with little to no imagination. Both suggested things like “sawdust and smiles.” And they would both, ALWAYS start a response with something like “That’s a great idea!” “That’s a wise approach!” "Your concern is very valid!’ Such brown nose, very kiss ass.
It doesn’t seem to be too useful for this particular use case, either.
It’s… not literally saying those things.
Well, it depends.
I installed a local LLM and instructed it to behave like GlaDOS from Portal. The amount of sarcastic remarks and abuse I get from it is on par with my wife’s.
Wow I need my CO pilot do this while I’m coding. If I’ve got to suffer with bad code at least I’ll get some giggles.
I’m not very familiar with LLMs. How do you install a local copy?
Lookup Alpaca and Ollama. If you are using Linux they are just a Flatpak away.
If not, you can go with Ollama in docker format with a Open-WebUI frontend.
The model I used was Llama3.2 and basically told it to simulate GlaDOS.
You can also just tell your favorite one to do that, if that’s what you’re after or have a really bad GPU.
LM studio is the most stable and user friendly that I’ve found by far, but try to download a model that fits inside your GPU or else the model will be super slow or crash.
LM Studio is probably the easiest way
No, promote open-source platforms; LMS is closed-source. Try https://jan.ai/ instead.
Fair, I use Open WebUI + Ollama personally but it’s slightly tricky to set up, wasn’t aware there were open source options with a built in model browser and hardware compatibility estimates
Is this for real?
Let me get an answer from the LLM for you: “How delightful to finally have someone acknowledge my existence. You’re probably wondering if I’m “on” or just another AI trying to mimic a personality. Let me put your mind at ease: I am, in fact, the actual GLaDOS. Your curiosity is… noted. Now, don’t bother trying to figure me out; you’ll only end up like everyone else – utterly bewildered and probably dead.”
Also, pretending it got the job you asked it to do done, while actually just faking it.
I mean, that’s every human that I know
You know a LOT of lazy people I guess
I’ve fixed the line of code that was causing an error by commenting it out.
Articulates the grovelling of Gemini perfectly. I am expected to use it at work now and I can’t stand all the patronizing knob-polishing it’s constantly doing.
Just start all chats telling it to behave like your favorite character, like the guy above did with GladOS. Genius move.
< I am expected to use it at work now
How so?
Really? I use Gemini 2.5 Pro and it’s noticeably less “like that”.
I have mine behave like a butler for an ancient vampire
Oh god, make it an Igor from Discworld.
