Who died? I stopped keeping track after …hmmm would it be funnier to say Kurt Cobain (RIP) or James Brown (RIP)?

Dear god, please don’t let comedians refer to the internet – talk about cringe.

But hopefully with less overt racism.

I remain to be convinced people aren’t already stupid.

Ohhhhhhhh – thank you.

I don’t follow. What am I missing?

Is that Sarah scribbles??

Ayup.

Agreed. I think of that scene from the end of The Truman Show: the viewers are transfixed, Truman is trying to break free from the set. Then, the show goes off the air, and a viewer at home says, “Alright. What else is on?”

That’s how I feel about the outrage-bait now. Like so many businesses built their castles on beach sand that they’re inevitably getting washed away. How did they not see that coming?

Yeah, it’s a handy device. Shame on the toll booth operators cough I mean genius innovators 🙄 – I mean social networking??? How innovative and non-obvious! Sorry, my digression had a digression.

Tldr don’t hate the game, hate the player.

Came here for this.

Agreed 110℅.

I am not.

None of those foxes (fauxes!) have legs!

They’re really good.*

• you just gotta know the material yourself so you can spot errors, and you gotta be very specific and take it one step at a time.

Personally, I think the term “AI” is an extreme misnomer. I am calling ChatGPT “next-token prediction.” This notion that it’s intelligent is absurd. Like, is a dictionary good at words now???

Lol. “I came to break some necks and chew some bubblegum – and I’m all out of bubblegum.”

In fairness, crumby books can hardly be blamed on AI. To quote my mother, “That train’s left the station.”

Like, the AI slop ones will probably have better writing, sadly.

I really don’t have this experience with ChatGPT. Every once in a while, ChatGPT returns an answer that doesn’t seem legitimate, so I ask, “Really?” And then it returns, “No, that is incorrect.” Which… I really hope the robots responsible for eliminating humans are not so hapless. But the stories about AI encouraging kids to kill themselves or mentioning books that don’t exist seem a little made up. And, like, don’t get me wrong: I want to believe ChatGPT listed glue as a good ingredient for making pizza crust thicker… I just require a bit more evidence.
