"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I think its unfair because most people have no clue how AI is toxic.
They have no idea how ChatGPT works, because that's how its designed. They use Google Chrome and Facebook Messenger.
I mean, look at this lady. I tried to find this post, and found she's got a blue checkmark on Twitter. Does she know how Twitter and its like have screwed over the world?

In 2025, apparently she did not.
...Perhaps someone explained it to her.
I'm just saying, people aren't perfect, including her. She should at least texted the guy back and see if he's open to discussing how awful OpenAI is.
She owes the guy nothing. Plus x notoriously grandfathered in power users of Twitter in order to keep engagement up. She could have gotten the checkmark for free.
I’m not saying she owes him anything. But if she was truly interested in him, she could have at least explained why she was, rightly, unhappy with that reply.
Maybe he could have changed.
I guess it’s a personal peeve of mine, but I’ve seen miscommunication and “cold shoulders” pointlessly ruin lives. I always think it’s better to at least try communicating, as people aren’t omniscient. They can often do better if you tell them what’s going wrong. Maybe this guy would drop ChatGPT like a rock and get into a serious relationship with this woman, but now they’ll never even have the chance, and he’s just gonna keep using ChatGPT.
EDIT:
This is true.
Still, glancing at the page, she was a Twitter power user as recently as 2024-2025.
Must bought Twitter in 2022. And even under Dorsey, the writing was on the wall way before then.
I sure as hell wouldn’t want that in someone I dated.
…But I wouldn’t immediately reject them over it, either. I’d at least bring it up first.
If a cold shoulder can ruin your life, you've got personal issues to work out before your even ready to consider a relationship, imo.
Thanks for doing some sleuthing, I appreciate you putting in the footwork.
Honestly if a girl said that to me, I'd tell her why I was bailing, but I also believe communication is key to a good life. I'd still bail though, lol.
That’s what I meant.
I’m overwording it. But I think it’s important to say why one bails out.
True, but those are just personal beliefs for the both of us, we wouldn't owe it to the other person, just as this lady doesn't.
Thanks for the back and forth, by the way.
It was a date. I'm sure he can find another one.
From an earlier comment: She owes him nothing. She owes it to herself to take a chance. If she proudly draws the line in the sand over such a petty thing? What next? And next? NEXT? JFC, before a first date, draw the line at MAGA or racist or whatever. This could have been a beautiful relationship, but one snotty assumption derailed any chance. I've dodged that particular bullet a few times, including with my wife. Hell, she could have wrote a resume about her beliefs and experiences and I would have certainly refused that first date. And I have never been so in love.
she's a femcel just look at the posts. Can we stop giving these incels attention in ruining our society through their endless insecurities?
Staying on Xhitter and posting every few hours and pretending to take some sort of ethical high ground? you could burn all the tokens in maximum LLM plan and you'd never do worse than empowering a literal neo-nazis personal propaganda network. What a fucking dork.
Your obsession with femcels says more about you than it does about any of the people in this story. Take a fucking break.
…That is also not what I meant, at all.
Nah, look, you gotta understand, we have a one-sided story here with no chance for the man to defend his actions, and we're taking her word at face value. Nothing else needed to tell us all about what a wise woman she is for dodging this bullet and what a moron he is. (This whole thread is reminding why I left lemmy. Insular, snotty, know-it-all, snobby, tribal, autistic... "You forgot ugly, lazy and disrespectful." BAM! Good luck brucethemoose, I'm out again.)
…That is not what I meant at all.
I did not mean to bring any sexism into this.
Im just saying this person rejected a date over one mention of ChatGPT, with no apparent explanation to the other party, but I’m sure they wouldn’t like it if someone took one glance at their social media history and ghosted them over it, without any chance for a response.
Of course no one has obligation to respond.
But it doesn’t mean I have to like this, either. It rubs me the wrong way.
It reminds me of abusive people I’ve known, men and women, who don’t bother to communicate and just ghost the other party when they hear something they don’t like.
