That is provably false
- duxup 2y agoI like to think of it as amusingly “dramatic” rather than false. ;) Way back when I was in college and the internet was new-ish. There were a few places you could ask math questions. A classmate of mine found that if he just asked a question online he would never get any responses. So what he would do is add some false generalizations in his question. In doing that he would be inundated with people answering his question, even if just to prove him wrong.

- duxup 2y agoThat's a fun law. I've bumped into it a few times asking an AI related question and part of my understanding was a bit off. Even being slightly off rather than completely seems to bring out more enthusiastic responses.
