Sadly it works if people are prompted to do it. Similar to yubbtub where it's common to say stuff like "please like and subscribe".

And as this can help business, it happens a lot.

Or: "Men buying women's hygiene products, because they exist."

It's really hard for me to find some stuff at all.

If it's about those pretty similar character models like those linked in the article, then I can understand Nintendo better.
But if it's just about the concept of "collecting monsters" and using them in battles somehow, then they can go fuck themselves. I'm eager to learn where they see their patents infringed.

I bet, a lot of people felt that way throughout history.

However, given we have the internet, the best access for information we ever had, it's really ridiculous how little people seem to care about spending some time to critically think about their election choice.

Sadly not just the USA.

ChatGPT is, in it's core, a sequence predictor/generator. Give it some context and it will produce most probable results.

Having the context of man, boat and river is very likely to match this "how does the man get the goat on the other side of the river" riddle, which is probably very predominantly present in the data set ChatGPT was trained on.

That's why ChatGPT can be helpful for lots of different purposes, but shouldn't be taken literally. Errors are very likely to happen. It can give important hints, but always check the results thouroughly.

My wife got a job where it is required and she still struggles to sleep early enough.

To add to this:

Imagine someone would sneak into your home and steal your shoes, socks and underwear just to get off on that or give it to someone who does.

Wouldn't that feel wrong? Wouldn't you feel violated? It's the same with such AI porn tools. You serve to satisfy the sexual desires of someone else and you are given no choice. Whether you want it or not, you are becoming part of their act. Becoming an unwilling participant in such a way can feel similarly violating.

They are painting and using a picture of you, which is not as you would like to represent yourself. You don't have control over this and thus, feel violated.

This reminds me of that fetish, where one person is basically acting like a submissive pet and gets treated like one by their "master". They get aroused by doing that in public, one walking with the other on a leash like a dog on hands and knees. People around them become passive participants of that spectactle. And those often feel violated. Becoming unwillingly, unasked a participant, either active or passive, in the sexual act of someone else and having no or not much control over it, feels wrong and violating for a lot of people.
In principle that even shares some similarities to rape.

There are countries where you can't just take pictures of someone without asking them beforehand. Also there are certain rules on how such a picture can be used. Those countries acknowledge and protect the individual's right to their image.

One of my teachers back in school said that school was an education factory and we were the product.

As far as I know, I am not autistic. I was curious though and took the test. I am just depressed, among other problems. Also in therapy for that. So that is reflected in the results. I also got the message "Your autism symptoms are low".

Thanks for the link though! I will forward it to an aquaitance of mine who is wondering whether they might be autistic. They already booked an appointment with specialists in order to investigate that.

As an engineer, I concur.

Although I would make one adjustment:

It is not one point on the spectrum.

Theoretically, it can be a single point regarding the reference unit (here, the colour). Consider ideal laserlight for example, there you have just one specific wavelength, i.e., a single colour. The magnitude might differ, but it would be a single point in a mathematical sense.
