I just saw a post that referred to ChatGPT as "Mansplaining as a service", and it is so wonderfully correct - instant generation of superficially plausible yet totally fabricated nonsense presented with unflagging confidence regardless of topic without concern, regard or even awareness of the expertise of its audience :D #chatgpt#mansplaining
@pitrh To suggest that that's all it is would be absurd.
I have used it to help troubleshoot some IT problems and increasingly use it to find things that I have not been able to find with increasingly useless search engines - most recently to find the name of an author I used to follow on Twitter and whose name I couldn't recall (Amy Siskind; democracy and LGBT rights activist). In no way are these, nor any other of the uses I've made so far, "mansplaining".
@pitrh I've seen rubbish output, same as everyone else. I have contradicted it and had it apologise and come back with better information (haven't yet seen completely fictitious output but I know it's possible). It's certainly not intelligent and only fools would treat it as if it was.
Damning a rapidly evolving tool instead of the foolish reliance on it will of course be lapped up the even more foolish.
