the “I am a credulous rube” watch

first as fart, then as shart?

oh my how unexpected

these people need to be set on fire

Jesus, that’s some weird shit tbh. Putting prices up because you hate that they’re too low for someone else? Yikes…

you expect a filthy owl to be up on the latest memes?

Ugh. Even forgetting the chatgpt thing, I did a group assignment a few years ago where one of the obvious tasks to carve off and split the work up was way smaller than the rest, so I volunteered to do it and also take everyone else’s notes and write the rest of the report from that (so they would still do the most labour intensive part, but my contribution would be somewhat more even, worked pretty well) and I felt bad about reworking people’s writing in that context. I can’t even imagine taking someone else’s work and doing anything more than basic spelling and grammar edits.

In my more charitable moments I think chatgpt does have its uses (and it’s apparently not as wasteful as I had been led to believe in terms of energy use), but stuff like this and all the lawyers apparently using it to do their job really make me question that instinct.
