Oh good. So it’s going to eat the onion on a regular basis and then tell it to other people who will fall for it. Google created your uncle on Facebook.
It’s worse. So much worse. Now ChatGPT will have a human voice with simulated emotions that sounds eminently trustworthy and legitimately intelligent. The rest will follow quickly.
People will be far more convinced of lies being told by something that sounds like a human being sincere. People will also start believing it really is alive.
We do not have municipal broadband here (we live outside city limits anyway), but we have the next best thing- a local ISP started up and promised to lay fiber in any neighborhood in the county where 40% of the residents agreed to sign up for their service. Everyone said, “fuck Spectrum” in our neighborhood and lots of other neighborhoods and signed up and now they’re doing great.
The part that pissed me off was that once they started putting the signs in our neighborhood offering this, Spectrum tripled the neighborhood’s broadband speed. Meaning they could have done that any time, but didn’t.
And now the locally-owned ISP is laying fiber down rural roads.
I do like that the rainbow has been ruined for them despite their holy book talking about how god made it to show Noah and his descendants that he wouldn’t kill them all off like he did everyone who came before them.
