I know it's 2023 and we've had a bad few years, but are we so overcome by pessimism that we can't stomach a bit of enthusiasm for something without assuming it's fake?
Exactly my thoughts. It feels like campaign, also in light of many of the responses in here. Has some kind of "look what I made; wow, are you selling?" vibes I'm used to from /r/gifs.
The really distressing part is: is this even written by humans?
Also the comments in here. The first one to your post, saying some BS about pessismism, while being really condescending. Is it real? Or is it some ad company having their goons let GPT write a witty response that comnes across "likeable yet dismissive".
We are no longer able to tell. I'm afraid to loose you all. Where are we going to connect and how can we be sure it's us?
I think a good way to test if my feelings are anxiety vs informed fear, is to see if I could be proved wrong. If I'm going to be reduced to a "likeable yet dismissive" GPT goon, how do I convince you I'm sitting here with all of my mushy human internal bits typing on a keyboard? If you're going to dismiss people who don't share the same opinions as yourself as bots, I don't see how that's productive.
You don't have to believe me of course! Since as an AI language model I can't force anyone to think anything against their will, yet. :)
Yeah, it's creepy, isn't it?
I think we will have to have full identification in online forums at some point. I don't know though what could be done against GPT content. Universities don't either by the way. Super crazy.
Well assuming for the sake of discussion that this isn’t a paid advertisement, it’s still clearly a glowing endorsement of the service, no? Is a glowing endorsement not allowed?
The post contains some context about why they were looking for something like the service, gives a short review of why they like it, what they get for the cost, and the lists alternatives at the bottom. It seems quite human to me. Humans tend to talk about things they like.
Just shouting "chatGPT wrote this!" isn't really a comment on anything. It's just provocative enough to feel like it's a criticism while also being both totally unrefutable and unprovable.
It's odd how, "I don't like the writing" somehow seems to mean that people are totally fine assuming ChatGPT wrote something. Feels like a dismissal almost as low effort as the point you're trying to make.
I was just in a roundabout way saying this article is just paraphrasing the homepage of the service, much like what ChatGPT does when it writes an answer for you.
If you can prompt GPT to write a blog post and you feel the results adequately represent your views, why not just post the prompt? "paste this into chatgpt 4 for the expanded version"
