#Using ChatGPT for Work?

[ponder-us]

Is ChatGPT the new "Boob Tube?"

JB: Hi. In his book, “Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television,” Jerry Mander (such a zeitgeist name – am I right), noted that scientific studies showed that children had lower brain activity watching television than they did when they were asleep. Now, in an article for The Sunday Times titled, “Using ChatGPT for Work? It Might Make You Stupid,” Mark Sellman describes experiments done by…

Extremely grateful for every single person who still posts coding tutorials on YouTube and Stacks etc. so I can avoid using AI.

ok look. what are you actually imagining that these engineering students are using chatgpt to do? because my experience of engineering school in every class that actually mattered was that the entire grade in the class came from

going physically into an exam room

taking a test with a pencil and paper and a graphing calculator

sometimes it was open note/open textbook but it was never open computer

there is no room here to use chatgpt

if somehow you are using chatgpt to explain the material to you in a new way beforehand and then memorizing it so that you can go into the test and answer the math questions correctly, that is simply called "learning the material" lol

seeing people be proud of being so overly dependent on chatgpt genuinely fucks me up because... the whole point of being human is to think for oneself, to enjoy creating and to have original thoughts. why would you be proud to outsource the one thing that ties us to our ancestors generations ago? why would you be proud to use something that causes so much ethical and environmental harm? are we collectively losing the things that make us human?

You know, as both a writer and a pro-generative AI activist, I find it annoying as fucking Hell when anti-AI shills call generative AI stealing but then go out of their way to defend and promote media piracy, AS WELL as claiming that you can be both pro-piracy and anti-AI. Like, bro, NO YOU CAN FUCKING NOT!!! Just because you think that AI is taking your jobs the same way Republicans think that Latinos are taking their jobs, DOESN’T make media piracy any better than AI. Fuck all of you!

AI in any field !!!

i haven’t talked about this yet because it still kind of stings, but i think it’s time i said something.

a few days ago, i participated in an MUN conference. i was the delegate of austria — something i took seriously, something i put so much effort into. the conference lasted from 8am to 6pm, and i showed up for every minute of it. i researched, wrote, prepared. when it came time to speak, i spoke like i meant it. because i did.

out of forty delegates, it came down to me and another boy, the delegate of spain. we debated for the last two hours while everyone else watched. and i mean this sincerely — he was amazing. we were both exhausted, but we kept going. i thought, no matter who wins, we earned this.

then it came time to submit our resolution papers. mine was over 7,000 words. i had written every single word myself. no shortcuts. no AI. just hours of reading, thinking, writing, refining — giving it everything.

but then the chairs announced that only papers that passed the AI detection checks would be considered for awards. and mine didn’t pass.

they didn’t pull me aside quietly. they didn’t ask if there had been a mistake. they announced it. out loud. in front of everyone. they said my paper was AI generated.

and it wasn’t.

and in that moment, it didn’t matter how much effort i had poured in. it didn’t matter how long i had researched or how well i had debated. it didn’t even matter that my voice had held up for ten straight hours in front of a room full of peers and mentors; because some algorithm—some faceless, soulless, fuckass machine—decided that my work didn’t sound “human enough.”

i cannot explain what it feels like to pour yourself into something and then be told — publicly — that it isn’t yours. that it couldn’t be.

and maybe they didn’t mean to humiliate me. maybe they were just doing their job. but i still had to sit there, in that room full of people, while everything i worked for was dismissed by a program that doesn’t know my voice. doesn’t know my effort. doesn’t know anything at all.

i didn’t stay for the ceremony. i couldn’t. i had my dad come pick me up early.

and i cried. not because i didn’t win but because i wasn’t believed. because my work, which i created with nothing but my hands, my brain, and my heart, was labeled a lie by a machine that has never written a thing worth crying over.

and i’m not angry at the boy who won. bless his heart—he got my number and actually called me to tell me i did amazing. and i believe him. he meant it. i’m not angry at the chairs either. they were just following the rules they were given.

but i am angry.

i’m angry at what this world is becoming. angry that we’ve let things get to the point where we have to prove we’re real.

angry that the people who use AI to cut corners, to plagiarize, to cheat—those people made it harder for those of us who actually care. who still believe in the slow work. the honest work. the work that makes your bones ache and your eyes blur from how long you’ve stared at the page.

i was accused of using a machine. but the accuser was a machine too.

and that, to me, is terrifying. it’s terrifying that we’re letting something this mechanical, this blind, decide who gets to be believed. who gets to be heard. who gets to be proud of the work they’ve done.

i’m still proud. because i know what i wrote. i know how hard i worked. i know what i gave. but it hurts. it really, really hurts to not be believed.

i think what hurts most is knowing this is only the beginning. that students and writers and artists are already being treated like suspects in the one place they’re supposed to be seen.

so let it be known: i was not silent. i was erased. and i will not forget that.

Breakfast Trio ft 춘식

Part 1 ────────────────────────────────────────── Support all the admins that spoke out (& do your daily click) ──────────────────────────────────────────

[Closeups and general yapping under the cut]

(Check first post for headcanons first lol)

For Breakfast Trio, since they originated from Egg Island I wanted to slightly alter the base design that I usually go with with the other eggs (large plantigrade feet, long snouts & droopy ears) and went with thin digitigrade legs, large frills, round muzzles & no external ears

Additional comments regarding each individual designs :

I had pretty clear views in my head of how I wanted Sunny and Pepito to look, however I completely winged Em' as I went. "Oh I guess we're doing cobra now, alright"

As for 춘식, I looked up gats and from there I ended up with a very abundant canvas filled with references and videos of how to properly wear a hanbok and before I knew it I had a 춘식. Happy birth 🎉

And since 춘식 was brought up to the island by the Fed, I gave him the original dragon base that I gave the others.

Yes 춘식 is the youngest, yet I drew him the tallest of the bunch. Yes I'm going with that take. (I don't make the rules, that's how youngest child privileges work /j)

"You think you're better than me because you don't use AI?" You think others are better than you if you're using AI. If you didn't think your own abilities were inferior, you would use them.

[nekrosmos]

The amount of AI I see being used at work is extremely worrying 😬

[hychlorions]

am i crazy to say this because i feel like this isn't an opinion held by other fic readers. but i don't think you're entitled to any author's work to make demands like this even if every single hit on a work is from you. i mean. if anyone ever comes to the decision that they don't want fics up on ao3 anymore it's probably a personal thing for them. and also the fact that there's replies to this talking about a subreddit apparently dedicated to saving deleted works to post on the internet anyway... just download fics you like omg. is it so hard to respect that someone doesn't want their fic to be published online anymore like they do it for free and the least we can do is like. respect what they want to do with their work????

[drfagpire]

saw someone say 'i asked chatgpt for the definition of the word "should"' and immediately had to stop reading because i got so angry. use a dictionary. please. there are even online dictionaries. for the love of god.

[herewithinthevoid]

for the love of FUCK please stop using c.ai to "talk" to your favorite characters and just roleplay or write with another equally unhinged gremlin or gaggle of gremlins like tradition dictates you unimaginative walnut what's wrong with you

why the fuck is she so STUPID
