"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.

Just asking a chat bot and then going with its suggestion is as much "research" as stopping a random kid on the street and asking them for a suggestion and then just trusting it at face value and going with it.
Sure, doing that can be a starting point for research (by actually checking that suggestion out, maybe asking for more suggestions from other sources and checking those out), but by itself it's literally the lowest effort possible thing one can do to obtain an option.
There's being cheap in a money sense and there's also being cheap in an effort sense, at that guy was definitelly putting the minimum effort possible into coming up with evening plans.
Ultimatelly it boils down to whether you're into women which expect more from a guy on a date than minimum effort or prefer the airhead or desperate kind who will take pretty much anything.
This woman being 12 years a widow is probably in her late 30, early 40s, so way more likelly to be the former type than the latter as most people get more complex and gain increased expectancies with age and, especially, experience.
Mind you, those are perfectly valid preferences either way, but they're entirelly on YOU - your preference - not on women in general. Stick to the kind you like and if you're having problems finding those, well, that's a you problem.
she's nearing 60 based on her twitter profile. If you ever seen 60 year olds date you'd know that this guy did a very good job: planned a date and communicated clearly with honesty, even using technology albeit somewhat ignorantly. This lady is clearly an incel - instead of appreciating the effort or being polite she posts online to shame the person for using a tool they don't like on a literal nazi platform she pays money to. Let's be very clear - there is no moral confusion here.
You just made my point further.
The guy was indeed honest, which made clear to her how much effort he was willing to put on finding a second date for her: not much.
She's clearly not into guys whose maximum effort to find a nice place for a second date with her is "ask chatbot".
Seems to me that "not interested in guys who put very little effort in finding the right place for a date" is a pretty fair posture to have.
What effort? It literally took you more effort to type your post than it wold take the guy to ask ChatGPT and then send her a message.
I would totally agree with you on this if she had actually shamed him. She didn't - he's not named or referenced in her post, she didn't even insult guys that do that (unlike you, who called her "femcel" for it). She pretty much just said "some guy did this for a date and I didn't like it". Well, now people who follow here on Twitter know she doesn't like that stuff. That's all her, not some random guy nobody has any idea who he is.
What's interesting here is how you're actually raging at these specific preferences of this woman. I mean, if a woman didn't like blond dudes or guys who came to a date on a bicycle, would you also rage about her and call her some insulting names?
You seem to have weird problems with some women having specific preferences in the kind of person they'll date - What's your problem? You do you, they do they - they're not imposing anything on you but you sure all hell seem to want women in general to either comply with your views or shut up if otherwise.
Honestly I don't think this is going discussion anywhere if you think this is "no effort" for a 60 year old planning a date. So have a good day I guess.
