Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

MODERATORS
If it understands you without you even trying then regardless of whether you try to communicate well or not you will never know if you have done a good or poor job of communicating. This is my point.
Your unpopular opinion that you enjoy it more is not in question, and you are free to abandon your fellow mortals if that's what you want to do. However, in my opinion, this can only lead to a further deterioration in skills that you already admit are not as developed as you would like.
I would also gently remind you that you are one of us, and subject to the same imperfections. Keeping this in mind can help smooth your interactions with others.
I'm not using chatGPT to improve my communication skills. I'm using it to have interesting and insightful discussions where I don't need to debate semantics. It's entertainment. Better than watchig YouTube atleast which is what I would otherwise do.
Sure thing, as I say your initial point stands.
For the sake of discussion only I ask "what is the point of achieving insight if it is too difficult to communicate it to others?"
What do you mean by debate semantics? Can you clarify that?
I'm not sure whether semantics is the right term to describe it, but what I mean is that I can, for example, reference quite esoteric terms or concepts in a sentence, and it immediately knows what I mean. Even if it doesn't, I can make a small clarification, and it simply gets it. I can then move on to discuss what I actually wanted to talk about, rather than having to explain what I meant by something I previously said, let alone having to defend that concept, like no free will, when that's not even what I was interested in discussing in the first place.
