A tweet isn't worth a news article. Geeze.

  That seems to be a lot of news articles these days. I'm not particularly excited by ChatGPT, but the mercenary in me is impressed at the investment from MS it generated. From a business perspective, it accomplished "and profit!". Whether it pays dividends or reaches a richer/more-sophisticated milestone is to be seen. Personally, I think it'll muddy and flood the "bullshit" & truthiness layer pervading news, social media, auto-generated Youtube content and blogs, our digitally mediated life, etc. It's essentially the next level "bot", and those aren't held in high regard, as effective as they are. Ultimately, they're noise. I'll go a step further: ChatGPT feels more like VR & crypto than it does.. say, cloud.

    It is a tool, like a knife. You can use it to reword your rough notes into an article, or to generate spam and fake news. It is a great idea fountain, but you need to filter everything with your own head to make anything useful of it.

      I can do that for myself, but the power of tools like this.. when they bend every cultural outlet around you, changes the world. To the original point I was responding: a lot of reporting and journalism is now adding 1000 words of context to 280 word tweets. Reality context, bent.
