MODERATORS
Its the classic example of people following the trend and repeating opinions they heard while never actually trying to effectively utilize a thing before deciding to hate it.
You're saying people don't use chatgpt in their daily routine because they didn't give it a fair shot?
Not because it's just objectively lacking in utility for the things it's marketed for?
Because people never tried to effectively utilize the tool. If you spend an hour learning how to effectively prompt your chances of getting higher quality gens go up significantly. It still happens obviously but I can confidently say ~80% of the outputs I get are servicable enough for my usecases. The remaining 20% require some manual tweaks and reprompting but I can usually get it there. It works best for things where you know how to ask an effective question already I find. Like just asking a basic question without giving enough information will give you lower quality responses than a more detailed prompt. Its kind of the opposite of what we've learned to do with search engines. More information is actually better than less in this case.
This sounds like cope.
Plenty of people have tried, I have tried repeatedly in various distant ways.
Maybe the people aren't wrong, and chat bots are in fact just not all that useful for most people.
How is me telling my personal experience of how its been helpful cope? It Sounds more copey to fail at using a technology correctly and then blaming it for it.
"The people are just using the technology wrong. If they used it how I do and for what i do, surely they'd see how good it is for them."
That's cope. Plenty of worse solutions to invented problems are adopted much faster and more prolifically.
