replacing ChatGPT with a script that replies "Great, I'll finish that for you by ${Date.Now() + 86400}"

stolen from cohost but i appreciate the succinctness of "capitalism make computer bad"

and so i pass on the burden, like a virus, to all those who seek truth but must instead whip out their phone to scan a QR code and then get welcome-pinged 18 times in #general

50% success rate? sorry, all this for a coin flip?

you have to scroll through the person's comments to find it, but it does look they did author the body of the text and uploaded it as a docx into ChatGPT. so points for actually creating something unlike the AI bros

it looks like they tried to use ChatGPT to improve narration. to what degree the token smusher has decided to rewrite their work in the smooth, recycled plastic feel we've all come to know and despise remains unknown

they did say they are trying to get it to generate illustrations for all 700 pages, and moreover appear[ed] to believe it can "work in the background" on individual chapters with no prompting. they do seem to have been educated on the folly of expecting this to work, but as blakestacey's other reply pointed out, they appear to now be just manually prompting one page at a time. godspeed

oh 100%. on the flipside of that, the advantage is that usually it's relatively easy to flip basic constructions into sneers. the combination of getting their arguments picked apart while being mocked usually causes the monocle to fall off the seal reeeal quick.

maybe there should be some kind of scoring system. perhaps a golf-like. par for three comments before they complain about your tone (sneering in a sneer club, my gods!), four for getting themselves banned. a bonus sticker in the shape of a star if "ad hominem" is typed verbatim

it's a good thing charities don't distribute resources within societies or communal frameworks!

dear gods how does one type that with a straight face and not pass out from sheer intellectual exertion

the fundamental issue seems to be that he's an idealist utilitarian who opposes racism and animal suffering in the wrong way

don't worry, he's just a misunderstood good guy

"AI is just like smartphones" yes thank you for this statement that we definitely haven't heard dozens of times before

ah, yes, i'm certain the reason the slop generator is generating slop is because we haven't gone to eggplant emoji dot indian ocean and downloaded Mistral-Deepseek-MMAcevedo_13.5B_Refined_final2_(copy). i'm certain this model, unlike literally every past model in the past several years, will definitely overcome the basic and obvious structural flaws in trying to build a knowledge engine on top of a stochastic text prediction algorithm
