Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

I hate it when I ask a question in a group and some mofo replies with “according to ChatGPT”. (hexbear.net)

Bitch if I wanted the robot, I’d ask it myself (well, I’d ask the Chinese one)! I’m asking you!

At my work I've repeatedly been getting chatgpt stuff from people when I didn't even ask a question

Someone will come to me with an issue, I'll work on solving it, and then in the middle of it they'll self-satisfiedly post an obviously-copy-pasted-from-chatgpt paragraph proposing we do it completely differently, usually betraying some fundamental misunderstanding of the parameters of the task at hand. I think just reading over ChatGPT output and going "yeah that makes sense to me let's do that" gives them a dopamine hit or something and they want me to acknowledge it. I try not to be a dick about it but it upsets me, and is genuinely just sad.

Cleaning up ChatGPT's mess when someone learned-helplessnesses their way into a problem they can't solve by blindly following directions from chatgpt is another fun one. It's annoying but at least then they've already come to the conclusion they need human help and I can get to work seeing if what ChatGPT came up with even makes sense, and confirming it didn't hallucinate any magic "do what I want" buttons that don't exist. Or starting from scratch

I saw a Bluesky post and a bit made me laugh. It was something like... AI will never replace people because people know when to ignore their boss.
