The Random Thread

On a forum I posted a member introduction post (bit about myself), and at the bottom was a "allow AI responses" check; I had multiple paragraphs of info, hit post, and literally a second later a AI response came in also with a couple paragraphs praising what I do.

I'm impressed! It was detailed (it knowingly went through my post and added context), a good bit of fluff, but I can understand how that would look like a human response (kind-of concerning AI's that good as masquerading); a little less fluff/repeating and it'd be more convincing :p
 
These days, an AI subscription is comparable to a magazine subscription in the '90s....
😂
I don't believe the story you are referring to. Things that are too good to be true are usually false, and I don't think this is the exception. This is just AI hype. Reality is much more nuanced and complicated. AI helps (sometimes), but you still have to work a lot to get a professional result. Just a minute ago, ChatGPT 5.2 Plus marked a sentence of mine as incorrect because it said "there's X" and the reason it gave was that the sentence was missing a verb, so that is the reality of AI.
 

Use of ChatGPT/OpenAI could now be argued to help war and encouraged government spying (although can't say I really needed more reason not to use em :p)
Oh, well. I know now what I'll be accused of for using it. It's gonna be fun.
 
Random reply activated: by this time next week, I will hopefully be in possession of an actual computer so that I may finally be "one of you!" Then you shall never be rid of me! Like a bad odour I shall lurk to strike my unsuspecting victims *insert mad scientist laughter here!
