Fair point on transparency, I've never hidden that I use Claude, I've said it openly multiple times in this thread. That's the opposite of disingenuous. The ideas are mine, the framework is mine, the questions I'm asking are mine. AI helps me organize and articulate them more clearly than I could bashing them out on a phone keyboard. If the argument holds up, it holds up regardless of what tool helped write it. Attack the logic, not the workflow.No I think twitter posts and AI are not the same. A Twitter post is sharing what someone else is saying. Users can do their own research on if they agree or not.
You posting AI slop, means you are passing it off as if it is your own writing and opinion. Which is disingenuous. Users can still do their own research, but you are taking ownership of it as your own.
If you rewrote things and it wasn't so obvious you are copying and pasting, nobody would care.
I want my country to work for the greater good.I am 40. I work with AI daily.
I recommned joining the wagon. I prefer my comments based and factual. Verified. I use AI to help me make sure I dont write conspiracies.
Sure it is. But what is your interest? What do you want?
That post was a shared hebrew translated into english written analisys from an Israeli analyist. It was refernced in the post as a 'view' / topic for consideration - not factual data premise.First, I am not on Twitter although I occasionally show someone's tweet.
Problem with your AI: It makes premises that are just not factually correct. NO ONE, repeat NO ONE, has EVER mistaken Trump for some kind of strategic genius. Any time you post something that claims he is strategic thinker or even that he appointed such people to his cabinet, frankly, it makes the entire post have zero credibility. My cat is a vastly better strategic planner than Trump.
There are some sources that have reliability by virtue of a history of being generally factually correct. Not perfect, but usually.
AI is not one such.
I know AI is not the topic, but i'd like to share my 2 cents about it.AI in a chat room to me is like playing online chess against a robot. No thanks. I like the human element of discussion more than one run through bot filters. I think any chat post containing that format should lead with the disclaimer that a bot is formulating the text, not a forum member. I enjoy the conversational aspect of chat more than the cut and paste media arguments that lots of folks use in chats. That's just me though. I give zero fucks about bringing a mountain of editorials to the pub to have an argument about current affairs
). Pretty sure the right knows too. Nobody cares for Trump at this point.The left already knows what we'd do
To me it's more like preferring a live band in a club instead of a karaoke machine.Or saying you do not trust car travel and rather stick with horses.

Claiming no one has ever claimed that only makes the point very narrow and centralist - unable to fathom 'others' ideations and conspetions.
Here is a subreddit with someone claiming Trump is a strategic genius - (I was not sharing his ideation here) but just saying that nullyfies your comment.
Sometimes I need to think about this quote more often.Mark Twain is credited with saying, "Never argue with a fool. Onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.”
I work in education. AI (in the form of text generators like Chat-GPT) has been a devastating catastrophe for education. Like, civilization undermining catastrophe. There is literally NOTHING remotely good about it. It is worse than opioids in its effect on the brains of its users. I truly fear for our future.I have never met a 40 year old that loves AI and wants to embrace it.
I don't think anyone denies there could be some value and it can change the way we do work.
I know teachers and students that both say kids these days mostly use AI to write all their papers. They also try to trick teachers (that rarely say anything anyway unless they can absolutely prove it) by changing words here and there.I work in education.

You know how in Dune they banned AI in the distant past of the civilization? Frank Herbert was on to something. We really and truly need a new movement of Luddites who will just burn down every data center and tar and feather the Sam Altmans of this world (dead-eyed psychopaths to a one).
Grading papers now is a nightmare: any well-written paper has to be AI, and so you can't even be happy about it. Then you have to put the effort in to prove it, because the one thing students are better than ever at (COVID really helped with this) is complaining and acting entitled. I really don't know how we fix this, and students aren't really motivated to do so because they know AIs are coming for their jobs anyway. Apocalyptic stuff.I know teachers and students that both say kids these days mostly use AI to write all their papers.

Agreed. My teacher friends also said cell phones were a nightmare in class too. At least schools have started banning those from being used.Grading papers now is a nightmare: any well-written paper has to be AI, and so you can't even be happy about it.

Do you have children? Because if you care about them at all you will absolutely forbid them from using Generative AI. You know the elites private schools are going to ban it (if they haven't already) and the effect will be a widening gulf in critical thinking and writing abilities. AI will absolutely 100% cause a massive downturn in writing and thinking skills. It already has.I'm not at all opposed to AI,
Oh yeah, high schooler. He hates AI, and complains a lot about the lazy kids that keep trying to use it. He doesn't understand them, but he loves school and is a great writer, so.Do you have children? Because if you care about them at all you will absolutely forbid them from using Generative AI.
