OK. My guess was that the person I was responding to didn't know that for $20/mo they could get all the answers they want to questions like the one they were asking (even if not always perfect), and do so immediately and effortlessly, and so pointing it out could be useful to them.
I say that because I know that if I was unaware of the cost/benefits and somebody told me that, that might have motivated me to try it, and it might make a big difference to me. Someone could have added to my productivity and helped my stress level by pointing it out.
In any case, I don't think I'll post about the cost/benefit of ChatGPT on HN again! Thanks for the explanation. I appreciate your taking the time to give it rather than just voting me down. It was kind of you.
- mort96 4y agoThey weren't asking a question. They were critiquing the article. And the criticism is perfectly valid. Shilling for an OpenAI subscription is wholly unnecessary here.
- Groxx 4y agoTo be clear, I (and I suspect many others) do appreciate the "this is from chatgpt [and therefore may not be correct]" notes. Because posting it without that and without verification is what some are doing, and that's just plain malicious karma farming. Yours isn't that. But personally I'd like it better if it weren't used period, outside "ai is useful / produces trash" discussions where its output is directly relevant. If I want a machine's answer, I know how to get it, but I'm here for discussion with humans.
