"tenant of white supremacy"

White Supremacy is the worst landlord.

ChatGPT is great because you can use it to show a potential employer how good your writing is for that writing job they'll totally pay you to use ChatGPT to do.

It is and always has been racism that has stopped bad writers from getting writing jobs.

/s

It's just a tool, like cars! My definition of tools is things that are being forced on us even though they're terrible for the environment and make everyone's life worse!

Tenant was that Christopher Nolan movie with the bad audio. Quality comparison.

brb, time to go shout 'fucking nazis tenants' at my local library.

Imagining judging someone for a job about communicating with people on their ability to communicate with people effectively.

New hire firefighter [leaning against a dumpster]: yeah I used the AI that puts out fires to get this job. They would have been able to discriminate against me if I hadn't done that. Glad that in this crazy fucked up trash fire of a world, there's still something out there helping to level the playing field.

Veteran firefighter: that trash behind you is on literally on fire

Spoken like someone who thinks they can cheat their way to talent

Ya can't

If everyone can write well now then explain this post.

Surely that's an AI generated pfp

I looked through her recent replies on threads, and while she has deleted the original post, it looks like she is doubling down on this take:

I guess I’ll say this in a different way, the language around that SOME people are using around chat GPT is the same panic language society always uses with new “advancements” or tools. We saw it when GPS became a thing, we see it now with people freaking out about cursive going away, and oh my, they definitely saw it with calculators. At its core it’s a “geez how are we gonna tell people apart anymore, if we can’t test these skills.” That’s not the only argument about it…

there are plenty of things to talk about about AI But this language definitely exists in the conversation. I recognize it easily, because it’s very, very Culty. It’s this very apocalyptic nature of discussion around it instead of the acknowledgment that human beings will keep building tools that will change everything.

every time a new tool makes certain skills that we test for to rank folks obsolete human beings freak out

To which all this I say… wow, she really has decided to just ignore all the discourse about generative AI*, huh? Like sure you can use this analogy but it breaks down pretty quickly, especially when you spend like 5 minutes doing any research on this stuff.

*Would love to start using a new term here because AI oversells the whole concept. I was thinking of tacking something onto procedural generation? Mass PG? LLMPG/LPG? Added benefit of evoking petroleum gas.

Okay, show me a system that was only trained on data given with explicit permission and hopefully compensation and I'll happily be fine with it.

But that isn't what these capitalists, tech obsessives etc they have done. They take take take and give nothing back.

They do not understand nor care about consent, that's the crux of the issue.

I couldn't care less if all the training data was consensual.

how to let people know you're not a talented writer but think you should be without telling people you're not a talented writer but you think you should be

Except that the ability to communicate is a very real skill that's important for many jobs, and ChatGPT in this case is the equivalent to an advanced version of spelling+grammar check combined with a (sometimes) expert system.

So yeah, if there's somebody who can actually write a good introduction letter and answer questions on an interview, verses somebody who just manages to get ChatGPT to generate a cover and answer questions quickly: which one is more likely going to be able to communicate well:

• with co-workers
• in a crisis,
• without potentially providing sensitive data to a third-party tool
• While providing reliable answers based on fact without "hallucinating"

Don't get me wrong, it can even the field for some people in some positions. I know somebody who uses it to generate templates for various questions/situations and then puts in the appropriate details, resulting in a well-formatted communication. It's quite useful for people who have professional knowledge of a situation but might have lesser writing ability due to being ESL, etc. However, that is always in a situation where there's time to sanitize the inputs and validate the output, often choosing from and reworking the prompt to get the desired result.

In many cases it's not going to be available past the application/overview process due to privacy concerns and it's still a crap-shoot on providing accurate information. We've already seen cases of lawyers and other professionals also relying on it for professional info that turns out to be completely fabricated.

Should have used chatGPT.

holy hell that inner is all kinds of past-even-wrong

is there some kind of idiocy gdq rankweekend event that I missed the announcement for?

Serious question: what does “stack rank” mean?
