That's too far, though I understand the feeling.

I think we should save the Hitler comparisons for individuals that actually deserve it. AI bros and genAI promoters are frequently assholes, but not unapologetically fascist genocidal ones.

Another isolated case for the endlessly growing list of positive impacts of the GenAI with no accountability trend. A big shout-out to people promoting and fueling it, excited to see into what pit you lead us next.

This experiment is also nearly worthless because, as proved by the researchers, there's no guarantee the accounts you interact with on Reddit are actual humans. Upvotes are even easier for machines to use, and can be bought for cheap.

It sure would've been nice if any of those managers and engineers thought of that before creating this situation. If my decisions led to the company nearly losing one of its biggest products, I'd be fired on the spot. I wonder which Googlers got promoted for getting us here.

The articles mentions that scroll and the arrow keys no longer adjust volume. Nothing could be earth shattering because it's video streaming software, but it does seem to come with some functionality loss at this stage.

Chatgpt told me no once and I've been traumatized ever since. I know my place, now.

Right. In this instance, with hindsight (noticed it's a meme community), I wouldn't say anything. I've seen similar cases where the intent was to push someone down, though. I wasn't sure, and sided with caution.

I didn't mean to act uptight, or attack the commenter (I tried a mild tone), my bad.

I feel like there's a way to communicate "np++ is the best" without calling people fake humans, even as a joke.
