       @danmcquillan As someone who uses ChatGPT more then they should, I have to say, if you know what you are doing it is a really great tool to cut through the burocratic bullshit they expect you to do, if you go a step further and consider ChatPDF, you can get any information out of a 300+ page document in seconds, my main problem with it is not the applications of it, is how people use it to think for them, and how it is proprietary.

       @danmcquillan @guihn288 … creating a lossy process where a few bullet points are inflated into pages of puffery by a bot, then deflated back to bullet points by another one.” Seriously?

       @DenOfEarth @cgruenloh @danmcquillan @guihn288 @pluralistic Compare the sentence read to the one wrote, though. They'll likely seem unrelated.
