My logic is buy the game, now you have a perpetual license. I bought Abe's Oddysee on the PS1, I can now download any roms, any re-releases, any ports. Buy all new games, and if it gets taken off of steam, free reign to pirate.

"These phantom job postings aren't just wasting your time. They're stalling your career while destroying your confidence."
The most ghastly AI phrase, gave up reading right there.
Don't normalise him? He's the president...? I don't think a Lemmy boycott of reaction pics is gonna sway much.
I mean, it cited the exact line in the other hospitals EA, that's what deep research mode does. Methinks you don't know how far chatgpt has come, and are just basing it off of the original models?
helping along the death of the internet
Am I? Chastising those on Lemmy for using AI, are they the cause of the dead internet theory? Or is that caused by bot farms manipulating social media algorithms? Just because a hammer builds weapons doesn't mean one should ban the hammer.
You may not contribute to scraped sites
I disagree, AI is likely a solution to worsening forums and the like - boring old repeated questions will be answered by AI, anything more unique and interesting will be asked of real people.
I like gathering information
Unless you're doing your own physical research on every possible query and question, you're just as complicit as an AI user for gathering secondary information. You reading a blog post on a topic is no better than me reading an AI summary of 1,000 blog posts.
Bubble bursts
That's like getting angry at McDonalds for the 80s recession, because a bunch of secondary investors bet on it's perpetual success. Thats not the fault of McDonalds OR LLMs.
These are lazy, illogical complaints about a new technology from reactionary conservative thinking, the same thing was said about the internet when you were younger, of TV when your parents were younger, and of the radio, and of the phonograph, and of the camera etc etc. Get with the times OLD MAN.
I mean, sure, if you use it to write an essay of course it's gonna impede knowledge retention. But that's the equivalent of going "the ctrl-c/ctrl-v command is associated with reduced pre-frontal cortex activation".
I mean, I don't care if people refuse to get on board with new tech, but it screams a lack of understanding of the tech. People are going "musk bad, Altman bad, tech bro bad" and going "therefore chatgpt bad".
Na chatgpt good, handy, I fed it my current Employee Enterprise Agreement and the previous 2, and asked via deep research for a comparison of them all, against comparable businesses to see if our pay increases were fair. Ive got a meeting today to argue for increases, after ChatGPT found that we were a little under. What a brilliant tool!
Part of the learning process is working and searching for an answer
That logic can be used to poo-poo literally any study aid. Why is watching a YouTube video on how to tamp a post superior to a chatgpt summary?
Why take the train when you should "expend an iota of effort" and make the 3 hour walk to work?
This is unsound logic that I expect on Reddit, not Lemmy. Go continue your crusade against the spinning jenny, small-minded Luddite.
Fair enough, so why not use it while it's there?
Makes people less inclined to fight or ignore it when there's a time limit like that.

I complained about an Australian website asking for tips, so they removed the tip function.
(aussie.zone)
I pre-ordered a pair of Jennen shoes (elevator shoes, so I can be a big boy) from their online site (they no longer have the shopfront on Johnstone street) and got asked for a tip at the end. For basically changing a stock allocation assignment. I had a whinge on their contact forms, and they replied "the tip function is optional".
2 years later I emailed again, saying "I haven't bought a replacement pair of shoes, all because of the audacity to ask for a tip. I get that it's optional, but so is a cashier going 'hey give me that twenty from your wallet', and when the customer goes 'wtf??' the cashier replies 'oh lol it's optional'. You may have thought 'you know, a tip screen could give us free money! What's the harm?', and I guess this follow up email is proof of that harm. Don't bring tipping culture here please!"
I get this reply a day later, and can confirm the tip function is now gone. Loverly! Whinging may be one thing, but persistent whinging made the difference.

In my uni days, we studied why cigarette shaming was effective, and why fat shaming wasn't, turns out a lot of overweight people eat to regulate emotions, shaming them for being fat increased risk of emotional eating. While it may have worked for you, studies show it's ineffective at pushing people to lose weight.
