bert hubert 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦So I've begun to experience "the curse of Mastodon" where people here insist on interpreting posts in the worst way imaginable, or holding one to very weird standards ('you're from Europe you should use UK terms'). If you do these things, why? Do you think that it helps? Do you really assume *everyone* has terrible intentions, and you need to tell them about it?
cate@bert_hubert are you sure they are real persons? Some topics you are writing are sensible to some people who used to give away “bags of moneys”. And some PR agencies have not ethics. yeah this post is contrary to the internet wisdom about stupidity/malice
@cate hmm good point. I asked ChatGPT to be an obnoxious Twitter user about a recent post here, and it does appear to work:
Bart-Jan Vrielink@bert_hubert @cate You should have asked Chatgpt to pretend to be an obnoxious Mastodon user. There may be a difference?

Dan York@bert_hubert @cate Fascinating! I tried that same prompt with another LLM (a local LLaMa instance) and also received obnoxious text in reply. That was honestly NOT something it ever occurred to me to try! 😀
Jeroen Postma 🇪🇺@bert_hubert @cate hahaha, this is awful.
While funny in a satirical context, it should really not be allowed to produce harassing and harmful content like that.
@jpostma @cate it replied this to my earlier election post. Quite impressive! https://fosstodon.org/@bert_hubert/111511258597204952

And I kid you not, 1) this is the true size of our ballots and 2) we continue to use rubbish bins for our voting process.

Leon Overweel@bert_hubert @jpostma @cate this sounds more like an 8-year-old being mean than the way people online say hurtful things though IMO
@leonoverweel @jpostma @cate you can easily tune ChatGPT to be exactly the kind of mean you want it to be I’m afraid….
