That’s true (I saw/read the posts). I’m just trying to not bring geopolitical stuff into everything.

Ha, exactly.

I mean, it can be if you want it to be.

Just turn on Fox News, OAN, or your favorite “alternative facts” “news” channel and every time they make a statement, just say “april fools!” in your head.

Perhaps you can summarize your theories in the post instead. “In the Pale Moonlight” is an epic episode, so it would make for a good read.

Yeah, not clicking anything to rumble [dot] com.

“I know you are but what am I?” Seriously?

If you’re so enamoured with GPT and having do your work and thinking for you, why didn’t you ask it to write you a pithy comeback?

I can’t remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you’re saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it’s not literally illegal to express.

You know what, mate, I give up. 🤦‍♂️

Ask chatgpt everything. Learn nothing, develop no new skills of your own, and let’s see what you regret on your deathbed. I’m willing to bet most people are going to regret not learning to paint, write, compose music, play an instrument, etc rather than regret all the things they didn’t get a bot to do for them.

this tech is getting better and will be a major part of how we interact with the world and eachother in the future.

Well that’s bloody terrifying, yeah? The tech is still young and people are already using it to avoid learning new things. It just churns out text that sounds correct but often isn’t and people just take it at its word. It has no more understanding of the text it shits out than a toddler who has learned to swear.

Look, mate, people are fuckin’ lazy and if there’s a shortcut, they’re gonna take it. They’re not gonna fact check the magic bot because that’s work and defeats the purpose of using the magic answer-bot in the first place. I do not look forward to a world where intellectual curiosity dies at the hand of “let me just ask a bot to do it for me”. That’s not even getting into the use of it by malicious actors to influence the gullible or stupid or the massive carbon footprint for all the compute resources it takes to run those models.

Id like Lemmy to still be relevant in a few years. We shouldn’t shy away from new tech.

Agree on the first part, but heavily disagree on the second when it comes to bot-generated crap,

Oi, can we please leave the bot-generated shite on Reddit?
