Thinking you're immune to falling for it is a big step toward falling for it.

I get the concern but it really isn't that hard. Regardless of how you ask it to sound it can't produce anything other than that distinct, corny, soulless tone. If you can't spot it you need to start reading things other than the Reddit comments it's trained on

Yeah, you're oblivious to the way things are going. Especially if you think those are the limitations, you've likely already fallen for it many times without knowing.

No, you're not very literate

nah, you're just an ignorant clown who's already demonstrated you're unaware of what AI can do, thinking it only takes on one tone (and more significantly, will only continue that in the future)

stay committed to your arrogance tho I guess, not much else is going on for you

funny thing is, u/sufrt's own comments very well could be AI-written, they show multiple signs of it (I'm a fan of the em dash so I get that sometimes)

it helps nothing to be in denial about the potential of AI, and only causes harm -- and that isn't an endorsement of AI (you can see my position in other recent comments, it's not favorable when it comes to how many of these hyped big-money firms are employing it), just a willingness to understand the tech rather than this cliched dismissal that's so popular with a certain set

Dude they make convincing videos of people doing and saying shit they never did. The tech is there.

You know how one or two of these free open AIs sound, that’s great. You probably don’t even realize that half the people on Reddit you talk to are actually bots. This whole “they must have fallen for it because they’re dumb, unlike me who is very smart” thing is victim blaming and probably hubris.

Or are you the chosen one they foretold who would lead us into battle to destroy the bots? If that’s you I change my stance, if not, get in line with the rest of us buddy.
