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.
