It's just a tool, like cars! My definition of tools is things that are being forced on us even though they're terrible for the environment and make everyone's life worse!

Except that the ability to communicate is a very real skill that's important for many jobs, and ChatGPT in this case is the equivalent to an advanced version of spelling+grammar check combined with a (sometimes) expert system.

So yeah, if there's somebody who can actually write a good introduction letter and answer questions on an interview, verses somebody who just manages to get ChatGPT to generate a cover and answer questions quickly: which one is more likely going to be able to communicate well:

• with co-workers
• in a crisis,
• without potentially providing sensitive data to a third-party tool
• While providing reliable answers based on fact without "hallucinating"

Don't get me wrong, it can even the field for some people in some positions. I know somebody who uses it to generate templates for various questions/situations and then puts in the appropriate details, resulting in a well-formatted communication. It's quite useful for people who have professional knowledge of a situation but might have lesser writing ability due to being ESL, etc. However, that is always in a situation where there's time to sanitize the inputs and validate the output, often choosing from and reworking the prompt to get the desired result.

In many cases it's not going to be available past the application/overview process due to privacy concerns and it's still a crap-shoot on providing accurate information. We've already seen cases of lawyers and other professionals also relying on it for professional info that turns out to be completely fabricated.

Serious question: what does “stack rank” mean?

That's just a strawman fallacy followed by a "guilt by association" fallacy.

holy hell that inner is all kinds of past-even-wrong

is there some kind of idiocy gdq rankweekend event that I missed the announcement for?

"tenant of white supremacy"

White Supremacy is the worst landlord.

Imagining judging someone for a job about communicating with people on their ability to communicate with people effectively.

Surely that's an AI generated pfp

Should have used chatGPT.

ChatGPT is great because you can use it to show a potential employer how good your writing is for that writing job they'll totally pay you to use ChatGPT to do.

It is and always has been racism that has stopped bad writers from getting writing jobs.

New hire firefighter [leaning against a dumpster]: yeah I used the AI that puts out fires to get this job. They would have been able to discriminate against me if I hadn't done that. Glad that in this crazy fucked up trash fire of a world, there's still something out there helping to level the playing field.

Veteran firefighter: that trash behind you is on literally on fire

how to let people know you're not a talented writer but think you should be without telling people you're not a talented writer but you think you should be

Okay, show me a system that was only trained on data given with explicit permission and hopefully compensation and I'll happily be fine with it.

But that isn't what these capitalists, tech obsessives etc they have done. They take take take and give nothing back.

They do not understand nor care about consent, that's the crux of the issue.

I couldn't care less if all the training data was consensual.

brb, time to go shout 'fucking nazis tenants' at my local library.

Tenant was that Christopher Nolan movie with the bad audio. Quality comparison.
