I just want to point out that there were text generators before ChatGPT, and they were ruining the internet for years.
Just like there are bots on social media, pushing a narrative, humans are being alienated from every aspect of modern society.
What is a society for, when you can't be a part of it?
Hey now, King James Programming was pretty funny.
For those unfamiliar, King James Programming is a Markov chain trained on the King James Bible and the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, with quotes posted at https://kingjamesprogramming.tumblr.com/
I was first introduced to it when I started reading UNSONG.
This was such a good idea, so many of these are fire.
I feel like the term "touch grass" applies to this comment more than anything.
Touch Grass
Well OP said that bots posting shit on social media alienates people from being part of modern society
If that's not a touch a grass moment then I don't know what is
When you can't trust the people online you interact with to be a real person or not, it's hard to interact within the internet.
Sure, you can find real human connections by "touching grass", but the internet shouldn't be a monotonous landscape solely for consumption and not interaction. It was not built for that, and shouldn't ever be.
Well the study we're commenting under calls out that press releases and job postings are also becoming increasingly LLM-written. You can't avoid those simply by touching grass.
Not sure what type of grass you touch, but I don't have it littered with job postings or press releases
People need to work to live, which requires looking at job postings. Shocking, I know
Speak for yourself
“Touch grass” is exclusionary and divisive. I asked Copilot to explain why.
Okay, I won't say touch grass anymore. I'll just say what I think instead: GO OUTSIDE YOU TERMINALLY ONLINE FREAK.
Do you think that'll be better?
Yes, it is more inclusive.
I mean, except of those with agoraphobia or those who are incapable of leaving their residence due to physical infirmity of some kind.
