    IMO people are idiot for using an OpenAI subscription regardless of workarounds.

    EDIT: +3 to -2 in roughly 3 minutes. Sudden downvotes instantaneously appearing. Hey, I’ve got a question, why does every defence of OpenAI sound like a fucking advertisement? “I realize it’s not for everyone, but my work at home is so much easier with this: It Slices, It Dices, and It even Peels all in one. Personally, with all the time it saves me, I can never go back to working without it.”

    EDIT 2: Mods are deleting some of my responses for “ad hominem” but I think it was pretty fair to say those users were woefully unskilled and that it negatively impacts their future and everyone around them if they rely on the chatbot to do half passable work. If anything, I think them telling me about their inferior skills was the only insult there, and it was their own comment not mine.

        It’s a gimmicky mimic machine that produces actual nonsense which appears at a glance passable for human generated text. Why? I should be the one asking, fucking why?

      Why do people praising a thing you’re saying is useless sound like someone listing it’s good points in an advert? Gee tough question, could it be that they’re essentially the same thing and the latter is explicitly designed to look like the former?

      Of course if you’re going to dismiss something entirely then people who benefit from using it are going to give their opinion, that’s what this is - a place to give opinions and talk about stuff.

      How else would anyone answer your question? You suggest that it has no use, people who use it regularly are of course going to point out the uses it has. And yes many aren’t going to bother they’re going to use the button that essentially says ‘this is balderdash I don’t agree’

      I have found many things ai is brilliant at, as a coding assistant it really is a game changer and within five years you’ll be used to talking to your PC like they do in Star Trek and having it do all sorts of reality useful things that there are no options for in software made like we do now.

        They attempted to answer questions I didn’t ask, I expect them to screw off and enjoy their blissful ignorance, otherwise I wouldn’t have outright insulted them in the first place: I am not here to converse about all of the good points of an unethical and honestly inadequate product, I don’t give a fuck how they’re using it.

        No real person sits down at their computer and thinks “I’m going spend today convincing people that Farberware is a high quality product.” Farberware is chinesium shit just like any other machine fabricated knife from Walmart. Just like ChatGPT fanboys claiming it automagically accomplishes your work tasks, it’s disingenuous to its core.
