The only use for this that I think would be worthwhile would be tricking 
into believing he found a "based" community to call him the Meme Maestro while he's confined in some goon cave far away from levers of power.
The Verge article has some examples that are hilarious in their banality. It's all completely undisguised GPT slop
It's the eidolic LLM product, a perfect summary of treat printer qualities: useless, self-indulgent, isolating, dehumanizing, and a massive waste of resources and a massive source of pollution.
Wouldn't it be funny if it actually just created an anonymous twitter account proxy for you? Either way you'll be talking with bots.
I think I could make something that does this without "generative AI" and is thousands of times more performant and significantly more believable
If a place that burns down acres of forest and dries up lakes so a techbro can get all the fake feedback they desire tailored to their preferences isn't an echo chamber, what is?
lol, SocialAI can't be providing a very good sounding board service or it would have told him that ELIZA existed, like, 60 years ago and he needs to get over himself
Techbros believe "history is over" without looking into history so they tend to feel like trailblazers while repeating the same old shit.
I am so tempted to name names because a few long-time users here still sometimes play the "you're afraid/emotional"
card as if being upset at this planet-burning bazinga shit is somehow unreasonable.EDIT: The aforementioned proselytizers showed up and saved me the trouble. Neat.

Hey, it's me! lol
It's not unreasonable to look at how this stuff is being used and get angry about it. That's fine and reasonable. But please try not to mischaracterize what people are saying about this issue.
But it's not helpful to get mad every day and post this same comment about how you're definitely not being emotional about it (with the smuglord, always with the smuglord, give the poor guy a rest).
So where do we go from here both as individuals and as a movement? For example, we could cap or limit uses of it to research and industrial applications, or put R&D into specialized hardware and algorithms to increase efficiency. Maybe we boycott companies that abuse it? I don't think it would work, but it's a more interesting discussion we could be having that moves beyond just saying it's all a grift or it's just waifus all the way down.
FWIW I think all governments should ban proof-of-work crypto schemes like China did with Bitcoin, but I don't think you can do that with this because the technology does actually have useful applications.
Please note that simply stating that this tech does sometimes have useful applications IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT of the most commonly seen uses of it on reddit or whatever. That's just the internet that most regular people use reflecting the worst aspects.
But please try not to mischaracterize what people are saying about this issue.
Aaaaand then the rest of your post.
I'm going to talk about the energy wasting and environmentally ruinous treat printers (and their feverish fandom) as much as I see fit.
about how you're definitely not being emotional about it
Your reading comprehension's not very good if you haven't caught on by now, even in this thread, that I'm not claiming a lack of emotion about this shit. Far from it. LARPing as a smug Redditor-style supposedly-emotion-free logician looks more like your brand.
what people are saying
You can selectively ignore/downplay what actual other people are saying all you wish, but it's you and like two other people's takes versus everyone else on this site.
(with the smuglord, always with the smuglord, give the poor guy a rest).
If you're going to post smugly about this shit, you're getting the emoji.
LMAO Thank you for your unique brand of contribution to this website.
What the heck? I was trying to have a reasonable discussion before. There's no need to be like that now over a difference of opinion, c'mon. Be nice.

The one where you pulled the "you are afraid/emotional" card? Do I have to dredge up that entire exchange or can you just accept that it didn't fly with me?
Speaking of flying, if you're going to do more of that shit here, I'll post this in advance unless you really need another last word game:

Something similar to this already exists as a mobile app (Butterflies). I know this because someone at a book club tried to explain it a couple of months ago, and everyone looked at him like he had three heads
For real though, this shit is vile and my contempt for treat printer apologists intensifies nearly by the day.

i don't mean to be drastic but i think we have to kill all these people
