Bitch if I wanted the robot, I’d ask it myself (well, I’d ask the Chinese one)! I’m asking you!

    I can’t remember who it was, but some PhD in anthropology (I think) was tweeting about his research and some fucking idiot was arguing with him because ChatGPT said something different. Fucking bong-cloud epistemology.

      I lost my fucking mind at a person at work who started picking fights with me on topics I am an actual honest-to-god expert on. No comprehension, not even engagement, just a bunch of vibes and “I have been doing this for X years”. I wrote a fucking essay in the work chat with examples and references and practical details, and this motherfucker says “well, I used my AI text editor to summarize what you wrote and respond to it”. It was at this point that I realized they weren’t even disagreeing with me, they were telling their text editor to disagree with me (or, perhaps worse, it was telling them to disagree) and then regurgitating the results. AI freaks are literally inhuman.
