Unironically realized this with chatGPT. I had to fucking go out of my way in a discussion to get it to criticize me…and then immediately ask if I want counterarguments for that criticism.
We need to yank the “redpill” meme out of the normie’s hands. Because idiots like the pepe crusader guy are more concerned about being super cool and fashionable irl supervillains than the truth: porky is scum and white men aren’t fucking special.
This is the machine logic, people’s thought patterns are and will be influenced by the technology that they “offshore” their investigative impulses and deductive reasoning to. I have been saying this for years even on this site.
Wow this is such a boomer Luddite take. By saying that you’re only going to be further left behind as everyone else continues to use this technology. People said the same thing about tv and radio! Now excuse me while I ask ChatGPT if my three sentences sufficiently destroyed you.
I sometimes just don’t pay my internet bill for the summer and touch grass. I’ll still torrent stuff off my work wifi and post on work wifi but it means if I’m at home I can’t Google things. I have totally found with the first time doing so which was for like 2 years cause poverty that I was thinking things through more carefully and there were a lot of answers that I could put together with what I already know and some logic. It can be good to operate without instant resources to information
Yes, I am serious but I am also joking about Butlerian Jihad. It’s not just that people need to touch grass, people need to engage with the greater world around them unmediated at least in some capacity. Part of the existential shithole that is living in the west is the hyper-atomization. insert sappy paragraph about how love is the antidote, engage with the people and wildlife in your life and the planet itself on whatever terms in any capacity.
Speaking of wildlife, I had a close encounter just the other day:
Very handsome and begging for chips extremely politely. (They also have a beautiful song but this one wasn’t making any sounds, it snuck up on me so I looked up and WHOA MAGPIE BEAK RIGHT BY MY EYE. Top three bird imo.)
I just like doing my own thinking. I’m not far from a library where there are lots of books and people trained to help me get the ones I need to learn the thing I want to learn, the longer it takes to get an answer the better the answer usually
I guess for me personally it’s less about the atomization angle cause I socialize a decent amount and have some degree of community going on and having more ‘friction’ constant instant gratification in any form is bad
I actually find it quite disturbing how often an online discussion will at some point involve someone saying “well I went and checked this with grok/chatgpt/whatever” with apparently no idea that they’re just asking the lying machine to tell them lies.
I know search engines are becoming increasingly enshittified, but asking an “”“AI”“” questions seems like more effort than skimming Wikipedia or even digging through actual, published, academic papers to find answers. A lot of these chatbots give different answers to the same inputs, making them completely unreliable.
I don’t get it. Maybe I’m too boomer-brained or something.
I also don’t get it, they’re excellent drafting tools if you struggle with writers block like I do, but only if you have a thorough understanding of what you want to write already.
They’re also useful for semantic search that fills a gap google should’ve been doing for years but won’t because of capitalism. I.e. I needed a set of studio speakers that would fit in certain dimensions, and the slop machine parsed that query and shat out a list of like 8 that were a much easier starting point for a search than I could’ve gotten with a traditional search engine or whatever shitty general-purpose filters offered by a music supplier website, much less the secondary markets I wanted to source them from. And if any of them were made up that was immediately clear too.
What they’re terrible at is providing encyclopedic reference, which is what most people seem to be using them for? It’s mind-boggling.
I’m currently studying for honours, definitely not as much effort as digging through peer reviewed sources! But definitely a worse effort : results ratio because the results are fucking useless.

The machine programmed to be agreeable agrees with me!

You are correct. According to Grok these are expressions of psychosis related to obsessing over 1960’s fiction and a deep-seated fear of change.
ChatGPT also told me I should ask my doctor if Zoloft is right for me.

Exactly what I’m yapping about.
