Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. 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.

Thank you and happy chatting!

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

I realize I misread the paragraph and thought it was bemoaning the lack of human-to-human interaction with asking about stuff.

It sorta' is similar in terms of epistemology too because when some people say "google it" they have blind trust in big corporation google/the internet contains all human knowledge the same way people are putting faith into chatgpt. It's often times the same as if someone here asked if China's governing party was marxist or not and being told to just "google it." It shows an inability to grapple with ideas and a dependence on massive self-interested corporations for information.

I think it's definitely a precursor to this chatgpt-as-mental-crutch trend we're seeing.
