GPT is blunt, critical, and highly opinionated if you tell it to be. That's what I don't get about people on this forum. GENERATIONS of STEM professionals who have it engraved in their head that a computer will only do what you tell it to - and nothing more, and they still don't think to simply just tell GPT what lens they want it to view content in, or give it accurate and necessary directives. They think it'll handle that for them. Why? This should be the group getting the best outputs of this technology, bar-none. I've never encountered a more pragmatic group of people, haha! I don't get where the disconnect is.

  You're probably close to the same in everyday life - as are everyone around you, but I suppose that's valid.

I agree. Sometimes I have some notes and thoughts I want to turn into a blog post, particularly pieces regarding philosophy or another such argumentation based field, and I'll ask an LLM to review and come up with counter examples. It does a very good job almost every time and really makes me think critically about the counter examples it gives me.

Projecting much? That doesn't describe me _at all_. I use ChatGPT and other LLM's frequently. I just legitimately don't think it would be good at the task of grading a paper with any sort of consistency. I don't even see why you would _need_ your paper graded for you to know it has flaws.

  >"Projecting much? That doesn't describe me _at all_." Didn't you just project, too? Lol. My comment is based on the writings I've seen here over the coming years about this technology.
