Sometimes I’m just amazed by the outright rudeness of some posters.

"I'm not rude. I'm just brutally honest!"

"Don't want the cheese to fall off? Have you tried Glue?"

Oh and well done proving his point.

I am POSITIVE, I could arrive a better answer feeding some of these threads to my company ChatGPT.

I have no idea what this is about, but I absolutely want it to be something someone said as they were abruptly woken up, and those around them asking 'what, uh... were you dreaming about?'

Its from an old AI prompt last year I think, where it didnt understand the context, and suggested adding glue to a pizza to keep the cheese on top.

I remember when AI used to turn out word salad where the text was just coherent enough that it wasn't absolute nonsense, but was still so random that it was legitimately funny. Like "Then Hermione started eating Ron's face"-levels of gibberish.

I miss those days; there was some seriously hilarious content back then. Now, AI is (as a programmer friend of mine likes to say) very convincing at being wrong.

It does make things a bit of a puzzle. Can it do a lot, quickly? Yes. Do you know, KNOW, its right? Nope. So how much time do you put into confirming its right, and is time actually being saved?

There is a phrasing that comes up from time to time, "does not suffer fools gladly," that I used to think meant someone was awesomely smart and clever and had no patience for people who weren't; now I think it tends to mean they treat people badly. I'm working on ... not treating people badly that way, it's not always easy.

Like many quotes about behavior and wisdom, its both.

Taken to an extreme it treats people poorly with a broad condescending brush stroke.

On the other hand, how long should you suffer someone who has proven them selves to be a "fool"?
