  1. I think that the biggest reasons that tech bros like ChatGPT is because I am pretty sure its designed to compliment you a lot.

  2. I can appreciate the kindness of this sentiment.

    If I believed that what we are told is “AI” was truly Turing-test passing AI think I would feel the same.

    And if we reach that point I’ll definitely make a point of talking about this!

  3. If these were truly sentient beings, no. Given that they are not, it is harmless enough.

    It is true that these tech billionaires want to create computer “slaves” but they have not and will be unlikely to be able to do so for a very long time at best.

  4. My partner likes to say "Chat-JIFFY" like the peanut butter or GIFs which I thoroughly enjoy.

    Apropos of nothing, reply to this with your favorite robotic slur

    I read somewhere once that the original pronunciation of ChatGPT was supposed to be chat gippity.

    So now my favorite robot slur is instead of ChatGPT, sometimes I’ll say chat gippity do dah

  5. I’m sorry I used Bluesky to once again angry rant about tech bros and tech fascism

    I will in the future change nothing about this behavior because I’m a cranky bog hag

  6. I do not think an AI bot having a personality changes my points.

    I’m talking about the perception of what intelligence is and how standards of what we consider intelligent are extremely variable.

    I’m saying super intelligence is too ambiguous of a promise.

  7. I am saying the promise of super intelligent AI makes no sense.

    Though “truth is in the eye of the beholder” is a part of the issue, specifically relating to bias it’s not really what I mean to be focusing most on here,

  8. “It will be like having a PhD on your computer”

    Have you ever spoken to PhD candidates?

    You could talk to two studying the same subjects and get vastly different responses.

    The commonalities can only exist in commonly held “truths”
