This is going to wreck society even more.

Please, for the love of Marx, do not take ChatGPT at its word on anything. It has no intelligence. No ability to sort the truth from fiction. It is just a very advanced chat bot that knows how to string words together in a sentence and paragraph.

DO NOT BELIEVE IT. IT DOES NOT CITE SOURCES.

I feel like my HS English/Science teacher begging kids to not use Wikipedia, right now.

But even Wikipedia is better than ChatGPT because. Wikipedia. Cites. Sources.

    What is the use case for something like this? If it doesn’t know anything then surely it can’t be used to communicate anything to another person in any meaningful way? Education, fact-checking, journalism, narrative, that’s all out the door. What, is it only useful for generating better sounding scam emails? Easily creating SEO content? Making fake social media posts? That’s all online bullshit anyway.

    Is Hallmark going to fire their writers and get AI to write their greeting cards? Put a few marketers out of business because suits don’t give a shit about well written copy? If those are the limits of the technology I’m thoroughly unimpressed.
