You should call it Predecember, referring to the eternal December.
- unfunco 10mo agoSeptember?
- littlestymaar 10mo agoChatGPT was released exactly 3 years ago (on the 30th of November) so December it is in this context.
- permo-w 10mo agosurely that would be eternal November then
- littlestymaar 10mo agoNo, being released on Nov 30th means November was still before the slop era.
- retsibsi 10mo agoIn the end the analogy doesn't really work, because 'eternal September' referred to what used to be a regular, temporary thing (an influx of noobs disrupting the online culture, before eventually leaving or assimilating) becoming the new normal. 'Eternal {month associated with ChatGPT}' doesn't fit because LLM-generated content was never a periodic phenomenon.
- hackable_sand 10mo agoAI R&D certainly was periodic. Good thing we put a stop to that!
- permo-w 10mo agoto be honest, GPT-3, which was pretty solid and extremely capable of producing webslop, had been out for a good while before ChatGPT, and GPT-2 even had been being used for blogslop years before. maybe ChatGPT was the beginning of when the public became aware of it, but it was going on well beforehand. and, as the sibling commenter points out, the analogy doesn't quite fit structurally either
- AlecSchueler 10mo agoYes, and this site is for everything before the slop era, hence eternal November.
- 123malware321 10mo agoeverything is dead after november passes
- permo-w 10mo agooof I only caught the meaning of this on the third read. depressing
