IMO people are idiot for using an OpenAI subscription regardless of workarounds.

EDIT: +3 to -2 in roughly 3 minutes. Sudden downvotes instantaneously appearing. Hey, I've got a question, why does every defence of OpenAI sound like a fucking advertisement? "I realize it's not for everyone, but my work at home is so much easier with this: It Slices, It Dices, and It even Peels all in one. Personally, with all the time it saves me, I can never go back to working without it."

EDIT 2: Mods are deleting some of my responses for "ad hominem" but I think it was pretty fair to say those users were woefully unskilled and that it negatively impacts their future and everyone around them if they rely on the chatbot to do half passable work. If anything, I think them telling me about their inferior skills was the only insult there, and it was their own comment not mine.

Why do people praising a thing you're saying is useless sound like someone listing it's good points in an advert? Gee tough question, could it be that they're essentially the same thing and the latter is explicitly designed to look like the former?

Of course if you're going to dismiss something entirely then people who benefit from using it are going to give their opinion, that's what this is - a place to give opinions and talk about stuff.

How else would anyone answer your question? You suggest that it has no use, people who use it regularly are of course going to point out the uses it has. And yes many aren't going to bother they're going to use the button that essentially says 'this is balderdash I don't agree'

I have found many things ai is brilliant at, as a coding assistant it really is a game changer and within five years you'll be used to talking to your PC like they do in Star Trek and having it do all sorts of reality useful things that there are no options for in software made like we do now.

They attempted to answer questions I didn't ask, I expect them to screw off and enjoy their blissful ignorance, otherwise I wouldn't have outright insulted them in the first place: I am not here to converse about all of the good points of an unethical and honestly inadequate product, I don't give a fuck how they're using it.

No real person sits down at their computer and thinks "I'm going spend today convincing people that Farberware is a high quality product." Farberware is chinesium shit just like any other machine fabricated knife from Walmart. Just like ChatGPT fanboys claiming it automagically accomplishes your work tasks, it's disingenuous to its core.

Well I use it most days and it's sped up my coding and documentation writing considerably.

You're either too dumb to be able to use it or you've not used it because of some weird fear of new things, either way you're not coming from a place where your opinion has any value on this topic.

Bros, look, it's the same advertisement defense I made fun of before. Lmao.

We know, you want to make a ridiculous statement and for everyone pointing out you're objectively wrong to be ignored.

It's the level of thinking of a six year old.

[–] doctorcrimson@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Do you hear that sound?

I hear the raw unfiltered sounds of defeat from the comment above. No longer trying an argument they resort to insulting my person.

[–] Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago

You're literally arguing 'this has no uses and anyone who says otherwise is a meany' what is anyone supposed to do but laugh at you?

I’ve seen this before

I’ve seen this before

And you'll see it again because the weirdest websites get ChatGPT integration and there will eventually come another person who stumbles upon such a thing for the first time and post it here.
