Today's manmade horror: Bazingas on twitter are amazed that glorified chatbots like GPT-3 can produce readable text that is nominally about whatever topic you request. Say they just spent 20 minutes learning about physics. Say that this makes all existing forms of education obsolete. Say that teachers are no longer needed.

Directly below this someone else posted a prolonged dialogue where the GPT-3 bot calmly explained why a peregrine falcon is the worlds fastest marine mammal. When corrected it said that the sailfish is the fastest marine mammal, explaining that sailfish are warm blooded and have fur.

Bazingas think they can replace teachers (and everything else) with their half-baked machine learning systems because they're so ignorant and uneducated about anything outside their direct field of expertise that they don't actually know what any other disciplines do, or why they do what they do, or even how to evaluate when they're being fed bad knowledge.

Link for dunking.

    These things can't even coherently walk me through a single scene of a one on one TTRPG session, how the fuck do you expect them to teach something that actually matters

          People have absolutely wild assumptions about how much money artists make. Just incredible. Like the best paid artists i know of draw furry porn, which commands a huge mark up compared to a lot of commissioned art. Most people aren't pulling in highly skilled in demand furry porn artist money.
