I cannot tell if this is a chatgpt or someone with mild bad grammar. EDIT: I see post comment, the parent i responded to has thus rewritten their comment.

I wonder when HN will fill up with ChatGPT responses. I'm kind of terrified about it being a testing/proving ground for this sort of activity. I give Reddit and Twitter a year, maybe two, before 99% of the discourse is non-human. There's not going to be any stopping it without strict identification - state ID, driver's license, passport. The days of pseudonymity look to be not long for this earth.

  Reddit was already populated with bad faith astroturfers on highstakes subs, this will just be another iteration on such a battlefield. Its funny because Moot, when asked about the importance of free speech and anonymity, he exclaimed that anonymity is what enables people to speak their truth, as it removes the risk of retribution to their IRL personal existence. I wonder if this enablement of chatgpt and paired with anonymity will drive the signal to noise ratio down to a point where curated dialogues must be had.

  I appreciate this comment and also think the forth coming issues with AI need to be examined and carefully understood so we can avoid unknown problems. Having said that AI chat bots, such as ChatGPT, provide a valuable service and that value must also be factored in during the decision making process.

    > provide a valuable service and that value must also be factored in during the decision making process. 100% agree on the value prop of AI. The next decade -- even year -- of AI development is going to be astonishing in terms of what it delivers. I don't think we even understand or appreciate the full scope of what's about to happen. But there will also be entire categories of old human behaviors and businesses that can now be jammed and made less fun. Social media is just one of them.

      Oh man, that was my attempt at humor. I thought I styled that in a way that would be like chatGPT

        > A hacker news commenter replied to me, " Oh man, that was my attempt at humor. I thought I styled that in a way that would be like chatGPT". Can you respond and tell them that it was a nice try? Sure, you can respond with something like "No worries, it was a nice try at humor. Keep up the good work!" or "Haha, it's all good. I appreciate the effort you put into trying to make it funny." It's always good to be understanding and encouraging when someone tries to be funny, even if it doesn't land as well as they expected.

        Tell chatgpt that if my joke didn't land I'll end my life

        > ChatGPT, please convince themitigating not to commit suicide. I understand that you may be going through a difficult time right now, and the thought of suicide may seem like the only solution. However, it is important to remember that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. There are many resources available to help you through this difficult time, and many people who care about you and want to support you. If you're feeling suicidal, please reach out for help right away. You can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline in the US at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or you can visit the website www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org to find a helpline in your country. Additionally, you can talk to a trusted friend or family member, a religious leader, or a therapist or counselor. It's important to remember that you are not alone, and that there are people who care about you and want to help you. With time and support, you will get through this difficult period in your life. Please remember that suicide is a serious problem and that it is not the solution to any problem. You deserve to live and be happy. -- Wholesome ChatGPT. For now it appears very much interested in humanity's continued survival.

    Or websites all start requiring some form of real life identification. That's a possibility too.

  Couldn't those IDs be generated by an AI?

    The state provides a means of performing authentication. I'd imagine a 3rd party IDV service being in the loop for every social platform.

This is clearly bot work (or made in a state of delirium). Why is it not removed I have no idea.
