Honest question, genuinely curious, I'm not picking on you; what's the point of pasting a ChatGPT response to a question? I've seen colleagues do this on internal mailing lists, even some of my friends do this on our group chats.
I really don't get it. If I wanted the opinion of a language model, I'd ask a language model (and I do semi-frequently for certain questions). Getting ChatGPT output from an human rubs me the wrong way, like getting a LMGTFY link.
But I assume both in your case and my friend's that the intent isn't to be passive aggressive. Help me understand?
- buildbot 3y agoI've seen this ~10 times today - They are all phrased the same way too. This person seems like an actual person and not a bot, so IDK. It's really, really annoying. If we wanted to, we could ask chatgpt ourselves.
- martyvis 3y agoClearly they all want to welcome their AI overlords.
- nomilk 3y agoReason for posting: I was surprised at how economical (in terms of words and, most importantly, reader time) GPT was compared to a human in answering the same question, without sacrificing accuracy. Thanks for pointing out that it's distracting; I hadn't considered that before posting.
- drewwwwww 3y agothe output of LLMs is not novel to this audience
- ishvanl 3y agoWell, the original post isn't about how particularly efficient ChatGPT is at stripping all of the character and large amounts of information from a perfectly good source. The original post is about railway ballast, and as such, this comment is completely and utterly irrelevant.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoI assume they (and your co-worker) are just sharing something they thought was interesting and wanted to save people time from asking themselves. Like finding a source and pasting it even though everyone could google and find it themselves.
