Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

"Comment whose upvotes all come from programming dot justworks dot dev dot infosec dot works" sure has become a genre of comment.

Comments coming from .dev should default to comic sans.

I can make a safe assumption before reading the article that ChatGPT didn't ruin the wedding, but rather somebody that was using ChatGPT ruined the wedding.

"ChatGPT is good, but only if no one in a position of authority uses it"

Cool.

"This hammer can't plan a wedding. Hammers are useless."

almost all of your posts are exactly this worthless and exhausting and that’s fucking incredible

I get the feeling you're exactly the kind of person who shouldn't have a proompt, much less a hammer

[–] self@awful.systems 1 points 8 months ago

no absolutely, I shouldn’t ever “have a proompt”, whatever the fuck that means

the promptfondlers really aren’t alright now that public opinion’s against the horseshit tech they love

"blame the person, not the tools" doesn't work when the tools' marketing team is explicitly touting said tool as a panacea for all problems. on the micro scale, sure, the wedding planner is at fault, but if you zoom out even a tiny bit it's pretty obvious what enabled them to fuck up for as long and as hard as they did

what if the person in question is also a tool

[–] Amoeba_Girl@awful.systems 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

why would you say something so inane my god

[–] self@awful.systems 1 points 8 months ago

do you think they ever got round to reading the article, or were they spent after coming up with “hmmmm I bet chatgpt didn’t somehow prompt itself” as if that were a mystery that needed solving

[–] Poppa_Mo@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yea yea words.

Trust but verify.

Here's a better idea - treat anything from ChatGPT as a lie, even if it offers sources
