I saw a young person ask ChatGPT how long their flight was today when they were literally holding the boarding pass with that information on it in the same hand that had the phone in it. ChatGPT spat out about 4 paragraphs on the subject when the answer was “40 minutes”. What a time to be alive

Edit: this blew up so I’m muting it now to save my notifications. No, I didn’t make it up for clicks, I’d have preferred fewer. Just a little anecdote from a tiring day that I’m trying to relax from now

@sinbad last year at work, a recent engineering graduate of a top UK university was looking at an xy scatter graph of some experimental data in Excel, and he expressed annoyance at the imposed workplace limitations, and said "if we were allowed ChatGPT in here you could quickly get a best fit equation for that data". And this is a smart guy, to be fair.
