Chat GPT is great. If you are a teacher with writer’s block you can ask for something like “End of year comment for student who needs to have more confidence in their work and who asks good questions” and it will spit out *paragraphs* of the most bland, corporate, superlative content-free, schlock you’ve ever seen. This will make you so angry that you’ll remember how to write.
It’s all “actionable” this and “out of the box” that … omg just poke both my eyes out right now.
This just in: old man shouts at clouds
@enmodo @futurebird I'm not defending ChatGPT, it's a shitshow and indefensible.
I'm saying that claims of idiocracy have been proven wrong every single time they've been stated going at least as far back as the 1920s (probably even longer), so why would it be correct this time?
And every time it's by uninformed older people who don't know what they don't know
@GeorgeWL @futurebird I guess I should have made the sarcasm more obvious.
The problem is the road to idiocracy is a long and winding one paved by indifference and incredulity. You don't get to the destination overnight.
And you may not ever get there without some global catastrophy and even then the outcome may just be 99% of the population dies within the first year but that year may feel like idiocracy until most of the rest die too leaving only those with seasoned survival skills.
@GeorgeWL @futurebird that said I think there's already good evidence that an increasing number of people are living in their own Idiocracy bubbles only sustained by Amazon / WalMart, and mindless labor or handouts. Take away either one and they are SOL. May not quite be Brawndo and Circuses but getting pretty close.
Fortunately for them their bubbles can be burst in case of emergency. For the time being at least.
