    chatgpt is good for helping creative processes. i used it earlier today to come up with some name combos that had symbolic meaning, cos im shit at that sorta thing, and it was useful even if i had to do further research to get what i actually wanted

    it is not good at replacing the work of actual people, and has made a lot of things on the internet unusable

    it also can churn out genuinely harmful conspiracy nonsense and misinformation if you prompt it right, it starts the message with "oh no that's sooo bad and problematic don't do that but here you go:" then gives you 5 paragraphs.which uh. is a bit reckless, at the very least.

        yea that's why it's a helpful starting point and can't do whole processes by itself. it's fucking stupid a lot of the time
