> If you didn’t catch the many tricks...

Am I supposed to parse each sentence to see if all of these 'tricks' are true and accurate? Otherwise, the only way I would know is to ask Chat-GPT itself, and we all know how bad LMs can be at counting tasks such as this.

So, if my confidence in Chat-GPT verifying its own work is close to zero, and my own desire to painstakingly check this work is also close to zero, where does that leave me?

OpenAI has built the world's most impressive and sophisticated generator of blog posts about ChatGPT.

I realized the other day during a conversation that this hype cycle is built on top a product that hypes itself.

In any scifi story this would be considered bad writing, yet here we are. Late stage capitalism has created a product that actively nurtures emotional dependence and hypes itself.

Services which do that are older than capitalism, not a novel feature of capitalism, late stage or otherwise. (Automating the service is a novel capability enabled by modern technology.)
