It does, in general, have its uses, but Google’s may actually be dumber than I am. Like, I don’t know how they make these things exactly, but the brain trusts at Google did it…wrong.

Ok, well Google’s Search AI is like the dumbest kid on the short bus, so I don’t know why I’d ever in a trillion years give it system access. Seriously, if ChatGPT is like Joe from Idiocracy, Google’s is like Frito.

I’m confused. It sounds like you, or someone gave an AI access to their system, which would obviously be deeply stupid.

So do you follow his unsolicited advice of not following his advice? Or do you not follow it, by following it?

Well, pal, hopefully she’s not arrested and deported after leaving one of her final appointments before the citizenship goes through.

Did it ever occur to you that the other way is objectively corrupt and immoral? It’s not even unspoken immorality anymore. It’s just plain old comic book levels of evil. We just blew up another fishing boat, because they’re brown. It is pure unabashed racist villainous behavior.

So yeah. He did say that. So what?

Ok, but why are the colors reversed?

What brings you to that conclusion?

FUCKING EVERYONE HERE IS LIBERAL. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST SHUT THE FUCK UP.

I’m confused as to who you think made this post. You figure it’s a French dude?

I’m sorry you’re being held at gunpoint to make shitty purchases. I tend to just ignore it, and I’ve survived so far.

America. And America.

But how do you decorate liquid coffee?

…it’s not. Hence the imagine part. With US medical insurance you pay a monthly fee, then you pay more for a hospital visit, and then if a doctor’s out of network there’s more fees.

Exactly, and yes it’s for historical fiction, not a history book. So if it gets some details wrong about Spanish colonial forts, or Queen Anne’s Royal Court, and the role my witches may have had in it, I think I’ll survive.

But if I had to do all this research, or seek out editing help myself, I’d be on page 5, instead of 67, and my story wouldn’t be anywhere near as tight as it is.

Well, no, it has no opinions. But it can compare it to other work, and determine what patterns are considered good or bad, and that’s not too different from a designer putting together a board of trends–or being Quentin Tarantino. It can tell by comparison if something is clearly communicated or clunky or funny, and and then you can either listen, or ignore it.

And it can either treat me like a 12 year old with Down Syndrome, or like a creative who can take criticism.

I’m 100% certain it would be completely useless to Stephen King, but I’m new to this.

I do, but it’s for fiction, so if some thing end up through the cracks, I think it’ll be ok. It gets a few things wrong or confused maybe 10% of the time.

Honestly though, I’m finding ChatGTP way smarter than the Google AI. Google’s is a fucking moron. GPT is like Joe from Idiocracy with his coffee.

I’ve been using it for a personal project, and it’s been wonderful.

It hasn’t written a word for me. But it’s been really damn helpful as a research assistant. I can have it provide lists of unexplained events by location, or provide historical details about specific things in about 5 seconds.

And for quicky providing editing advice, where to punch up the language, what I can cut, or communicate more clearly. And I can do that without begging a person for days to read.

Is it always perfect? Not at all, but it definitely helps overall, when you make it clear to be honest, and not sugar-coat things. It’s definitely mostly mediocre for creative advice, but good for technical advice.

It’s a tool, and it can be used correctly, or it can be used to cheat.

I believe I paid around $60 for the equivalent in 2015 or so.
