the-podcast guy recently linked this essay, its old, but i don't think its significantly wrong (despite gpt evangelists) also read weizenbaum, libs, for the other side of the coin

    outside of couple of weirdos, people cannot remember gibberish, try to remember hash number of something for a day

    Don't appreciate the ableist language here just because nerudodivergence is inconvenient to your argument. I can fairly easily memorize my credit card number.

      I can as well, hash numbers are much worse due to 16 number system.

      I was mainly pointing out it's not typical brain activity to remember info which we don't perceive as memorable, despite its information contents. Its not a poke at nd folks why would people remembring 10000 digits of pi be nd? but i'll change it, you are right
