i don't really get the assumption that everyone who uses chatgpt is telling it to generate prose or w/e. if i want good fiction or poetry i know where to go for that and it isn't to a bot.

i use it when i need to complain about my emotional problems which are too embarrassing to tell a real person, and also ask it questions too specific for google, like about particular chemical elements or certain planetary placements in astrology or "recommend me music with sounds like [timestamp] in [song title]" lol

#random rambles #honestly i think it has potential to be a good learning tool because it allows for a higher level of detail than a search engine #maybe this is a hot take but i think its general premise is good actually #of course its no–holds–barred method of harvesting data is Not good #but i think with enough demand they will be forced to change how it works once first–world govts start pressuring them about it #idk i think we're in the same phase that dawns on humans every time a new bit of modern tech is made available to the average person #there's a lot of panic about what it 'could' do and what it means for Us and some of the fear is absolutely warranted #because heaven knows the first several versions of any major invention are flawed in multiple ways #but with time it gets more refined and less 'threatening' and we become familiar with it and eventually it becomes just another Thing lol
