Every story surrounding gun violence already sounds like it could be written by ChatGPT. The same points regurgitated over and over.
You know, I think ChatGPT’s thoughts and prayers are probably just as helpful as my own.
The disrespect comes from corpos exploiting and indulging in these opportunities for moral posturing. Whether a dean or a COO in some company uses ChatGPT, Fiverr, or the cheapest intern they can find to write these ”heartfelt” messages, it’s really just as disrespectful.
A company is a tax entity, and it doesn’t need to posture politically or morally. Nor does it really care (or is capable of caring, as a tax entity) about these things. It’s interesting to see the outrage it causes when it slips out that companies don’t honestly care. As if they ever did, as if there is something natural about a legal entity having a sense of morality.
Shoutout to The Onion for satirising that very point that you mention: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/"No_Way_to_Prevent_This",_Says...
> Paraphrase from OpenAI's ChatGPT AI language model...
Too busy (lazy) to read and sanitize the output apparently. It's one paragraph what the fuck.
It's lost on me. If an important email could be sent out earlier thanks to tools that help in automation - then why not? Shall we go back to a time when carrier pigeons delivered handwritten notes? Do you share similar outrage for the word processor and the internet?
It's impersonal ?
Also, when does it become personal? Is it a time thing? If the person went back and forth with ChatGPT crafting the text for an hour, is that long enough to claim personal?
When does it become personal? When does a dosage of a toxin become toxic? It's a matter of degree, and using ChatGPT decreases the degree enough so that the probability of someone finding it in impersonal increases significantly.
I know a lot of engineers and science-minded types will see past it and not think it a big deal, but an averave person will see it very differently, and maybe that is made even more offensive because the average person does not even understand what ChatGPT is and sees it as a toy chat bot.
Oh hell, this one has a "return reply requested"...damn, where is that f**ing bird!
Prayer gets a bad wrap from anyone that gets their theology from ’The Simpsons’ though, but it can be useful to consider what’s below the surface.
However, prayer has been intentionally used by one political party as a deliberate replacement for action when it comes to gun violence.
Prayer without action is… well, it’s hard to be diplomatic about it.
Anyway, in these conversations that’s where the dismissive was about “thoughts and prayers” comes from. The acts of thoughtfulness and prayer themselves are fine, but they get deliberately used to replace any action. Which is contemptible.
There’s a real impotence at the heart of it.
If you found yourself in a strange city at night with ten men approaching, god willing a Simpsons convention just let out.
Its hope that someone else will do a thing for you.
