The spectacle presents itself simultaneously as all of society, as part of society, and as instrument of unification. As a part of society it is specifically the sector which concentrates all gazing and all consciousness. Due to the very fact that this sector is separate, it is the common ground of the deceived gaze and of false consciousness, and the unification it achieves is nothing but an unification of deception and false consciousness.
The spectacle obliterates the boundaries between self and world by flooding the world with images of a self which is its own object. It also obliterates the boundary between seeing and being seen.
The spectacle’s pseudo-concentration on the object is actually a generalized dispersion of the focus of consciousness.
The spectacle is the opposite of dialogue. It is the image of the world’s monologue. It is the monologue of the self which takes itself as its own object: the spectacle is the dream of a self which is both perceiving and perceived, speaking and spoken to, at once effect and cause, both object and subject.
Only by creating the spectacle could the bourgeoisie become an exploiting class. The first historical act of the bourgeoisie was thus the establishment of the spectacle.
The spectacle brings together the people and the army, but in such a way that the army protects the people from the people themselves, and the people from the army.

This is a totally original wording from the AI and is a legitimately good explanation of the spectacle.
It also shows the conflict between spectacular society and dialectical society. A spectacular society is a monologue, it's inherently authoritarian and lacks any dialecical solution to crises. Which is why the US is such a braindead society. There's an inability of spectacular citizens to think dialectically.

So it's definitely digested marxists.org because that's spot on for the first few words.
The spectacle obliterates the boundaries between self and world by flooding the world with images of a self which is its own object. It also obliterates the boundary between seeing and being seen.
The actual next passage in the book is
The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images.
So it's actually rewording the original work. Interesting...
It's also following Debord's style of starting a lot of the theses with "the spectacle is..."
I hate this fucking thing to be honest. It's a gimmick, a very dangerous one. They ask in the EULA to not post the output of the AI to social media, but damn i really want people to witness this.
i know diminishing returns are a thing, but GPT-3 looks like a qualitative leap over GPT-2 and its derivatives. GPT-4 will iterate on the mistakes this makes, and get better. i really wonder what the long term solution is

That was my favorite part

I punched in Heidegger before. It was really fucking something. People will be writing their dissertations this way.
I chose Debord because if he knew we were feeding his words to what is essentially the final form of the spectacle, he'd probably get really upset.

You absolutely should be sharing this. People need to know the ticks that it has so it's easier to detect.

We'll know soon enough, China just finished one that's 10x as big
