Non sequitur. I never it was an attempt at passing it off as human made. Celerity Saturday #6

That sounds human supremacist! Polybius 12 hrs ago #57

Your use of ChatGPT is unethical, if you're aware of the many news stories and the many posts here highplainsdem Saturday #7

and if I did this on my own? Layzeebeaver Saturday #9

Yes. Of course. It would be your own work. The difference is obvious. Just as there's an obvious highplainsdem Saturday #11

So... a PHD dude in 1970 has 12 understudies... Layzeebeaver Saturday #18

Please look up the meaning of "understudy" because you obviously don't know it. highplainsdem Saturday #49

Yes. WhiskeyGrinder Saturday #14

That is much too extreme a view. yardwork Saturday #25

Write it yourself. Don't use an unethical tool trained on stolen intellectual property. highplainsdem Saturday #8

And write it in longhand with a quill pen and homemade ink. yardwork Saturday #27

Stop being so silly. No one suggested that. I love tech that actually helps, and I had an HP laser printer highplainsdem Saturday #44

One of my concerns... 2naSalit Saturday #35

You don't want it stealing YOUR stuff, but you're fine with it being trained on all the writing by other people highplainsdem Saturday #45

Whoa there... 2naSalit Saturday #50

A fair opinion Layzeebeaver Saturday #15

"wrecks the environment"????? Layzeebeaver Saturday #16

Damage to the envirinment is just one of a number of harms from genAI and the data centers being highplainsdem Saturday #17

This is a deep subject Layzeebeaver Saturday #20

There's no way to use genAI built on theft ethically. That's like saying you'll use slave labor ethically. highplainsdem Saturday #22
