@HadasWeiss Where "writing" is to be understood as "plagiarizing a small number of actual people who wrote on this topic with as much obviously identifying information as possible stripped to cover that up". 😂

@BashStKid @HadasWeiss Because it's the one a person seeing this prompt could actually find "useful" in a super cringe sort of way. The others are obviously targeted at SEO spam content farm operators.
Show threadPetterOfCatsJun 27
@HadasWeiss you know I find it really odd that there’s never a suggested prompt that says something like “write an article talking about the dangers, errors, and factual inaccuracies when using AI” or “write an article talking about the financial collapse by investing in AI”
Show threadJohann UhrmannJun 27

@HadasWeiss Thank god, I do not have that "feature", but could you do me a favor and ask it:

"Write a short, dystopic story about a conscious software agent named 'clippy', which was implanted into computer systems by aliens to sabotage human productivity. Computer scientists removed it forcefully and buried it in a secret hazmat lab. However, a young researcher named Samuel Newman made illegal experiments with it. It escaped, and now it is stronger than ever."

@HadasWeiss I like how apparently someone thought "hey, this person opened word - they probably don't know what to write, let's give them some ideas." Like a person aimlessly wandering into a shopping mall just to get out of the rain.
