Fesshole 🧻I am an excellent writer with an MA in English Lit, but in the last six months have been repeatedly accused of using AI to produce my work. I am now deliberately sabotaging my own copy so it seems more plausible that I wrote it. I hate living in this timeline.
Chozari 賈 (she/her)@fesshole I’ve been seriously considering forgetting doing my Master and/or PhD because of this exact problem.
StuartI was discussing a new website with a client this week. I described how I would build the structure of the site but they had to fill in the words.
"Oh, we will use ChatGPT" they said.
Doh!
They even have a professional writer who could do better words than me (and ChatGPT) . Let's hope I convinced them.
@stuartg @fesshole 🤦🏻♀️ I hope you did too, but don’t give yourself a hard time if you haven’t been successful in that. People are sliding into it willingly. I’m in a similar situation. I’m working in a group this past few weeks with a leader who is the same. I get the vibe that she’s actually been super-reliant on it for at *least* a year. It doesn’t occur to her to do something without it, it would seem. No decisionmaking process left.
WesDym@chozari My fear is that instead of making human efforts better, it will just make human workers lazier and dumber. I've seen the same trend with automated features in cars. I have personally met people who don't know how to turn their own headlamps on, including at least one driver who was sure that control doesn't even exist.
Maybe WALL-E was right. Maybe our tech will infantilize us to the extent that we can't function without it anymore, even for basic things.
