I was thinking about ChatGPT and how everything it says always sounds like someone who has absorbed a lot of information but doesn't really know what they're talking about.
And then I realized, that's what I myself sound like. And a million other dudes on the internet.
Experiment: consider a question to which you yourself know the answer, and which requires some amount of explanation. Let's say a question in your professional field of expertise.
Now ask this question in two places: one, on reddit, in an appropriate subreddit; two, on ChatGPT.
#foodtoot I may need help with this: I splurged on some nice ravioli, filled with ricotta and artichoke, at the Italian deli, but I don't know what kind of sauce to make with it. Any suggestions?
@eribosot you could try cooking it in broth but I think a light cream sauce would pair well with it. You could tone down the garlic and use some chives
In my mind, I'm the CEO of a company that handles the print distribution of those glitzy yearly reports that charitable organizations like to put out. The company would be called No Good Deed Goes Unpublished.
#DraculaDaily Imagine you get an email from a female friend who tells you she's been proposed to by 3 different men in one day.
Man #1 runs a lunatic asylum and plays with a lancet while proposing.
Man #2 is American and uses what she calls "slang." Here are his exact words: "Won't you just hitch up alongside of me and let us go down the long road together, driving in double harness?"
The friend explains that she went for Man #3, without really explaining why.
@eribosot Well, when you put it that way: After Man #1 and #2, I think the real question why she doesn't run off with a bear instead of a man at all 🙂 🐻
Many a 14-year-old girl has been known to exclaim, "I'm so random!" But how random ARE people really?
Well, as it turns out, you can test your randomness. Go to https://roadtolarissa.com/oracle/ and hit your left arrow and right arrow keys as randomly as you can. The webpage shows you how good it is in predicting your next move. Can you get the percentage below 50%?
#DraculaDaily "I saw the whole man slowly emerge from the window and begin to crawl down the castle wall [...] I saw the fingers and toes grasp the corners of the stones, worn clear of the mortar by the stress of years, and by thus using every projection and inequality move downwards with considerable speed, just as a lizard moves along a wall. [...] What manner of man is this, or what manner of creature is it in the semblance of man?"
@tony I'm not excluding that possibility, but if that's the way it went down, I'd expect more concrete evidence than rumors.
As for being a 12-pointer, I've long ago given up trying to predict which song is going to win #eurovision
