Nothing more tired than articles that talk about how ChatGPT responded to a prompt.

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 29 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It sucked ass 15 years ago when "this is a what somebody had to say about something on Twitter" became a common article format

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Jon Stewart was right when he said doing that was like reading what people wrote on the bathroom walls.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 7 points 5 days ago

bathroom walls are more interesting.

... and that's how i met your mother.

[–] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 5 days ago

Same energy as when people answer a question with LLM output.

We asked a Furby who the best president is and the results were SHOCKING.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I don't think we've ever had a president named Oopa Guppa Looloo

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I had a Furby and when the batteries were dying it'd hang and go bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppppppppppppp real loud, I'd imagine some six figure hotshit reporter would be like "this doesn't bode well for democracy".

[–] SockOlm@hexbear.net 4 points 5 days ago

I'm usually not very superstitious, but Furbys are 100% haunted or some shit

Newsweek was bought by the Moonies/a South Korean cult in 2013 and has rapidly gone downhill after that, not that it ever was a bastion of excellence in journalism

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 16 points 5 days ago

Oh, it was the moonies. I thought it was the Koch's... Turns out the Koch's bought Time magazine via Meredith Corp. Getting my dystopian lore mixed up. yea

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 17 points 5 days ago

A magazine but it's just a 2-page list of ChatGPT prompts that you can copy-paste to generate the content on your own.

[–] TrustedFeline@hexbear.net 14 points 5 days ago

Wikipedia hasn't considered them a reliable source for years.

[–] Chapo_is_Red@hexbear.net 16 points 5 days ago

Just asked it the same prompt in the subtitle. It ranked FDR first.

[–] LangleyDominos@hexbear.net 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Wow, you are asking ChatGPT to generate listicles for you? Honestly, that is not only creative -- it's absolutely brilliant.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 6 points 5 days ago

I'm pretty sure the number of listicles that aren't LLM generated in the past 5 years has become within a rounding error of 100%

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

They'll only mention such things for a short time before it will just be implied.

[–] Taster_Of_Treats@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

So many things wrong with this, but recency bias, more "content" being produced than ever before, and unprecedented unity of state media would obviously lead ChatGPT to like the current president above others.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

why would anyone even care? if i wanted the output from chatgpt, id ask it directly.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Idk, i have seen plenty of yobs on Lemmy proudly post "i asked chatGPT and it said this". Morons think that LLMs are fucking oracles

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

i remember when morons used to say exactly that about google.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 3 points 4 days ago

Google took them to a website where they could make an informed decision about the validty of that information. ChatGPT is the equivalent of asking a random dude at the bus stop

[–] Pentacat@hexbear.net 4 points 5 days ago

Nancy’s “just say no” signs were easily repurposed with a well placed “w” at the end.
