and so we welcome our new overlords (sarcasm) and the Idiocracy future

In almost all programming forums those dipshits get ratioed to non-existence.

To be fair, chatgpt is quite good for that kind of stuff. Better to use it for that than to use it to write code for you.

@Lensflare it gives me outdated stuff

also it is foreboding in terms of advertisements and sales funnels where the AI people can just say "oh we don't know how it works" so they don't have to tell you the AI is giving you an ad. it's just accidental bias!

It has all the spite of "Google it" with none of the practicality.

"Pull yourself a random true-sounding statement from the Markov chain! Maybe it won't help, but I won't have to answer you. Which is why I typed this instead of just fucking not answering."

@jestdotty Toxicity is the one constant of the internet.

@Demolishun it was like honor amongst thieves!
