Web Log 5.27.23

One link. One tweet. I'm still spending too much time coping with glyphosate reactions. This web site will have long link logs again, some days.

It's not just that ChatGPT will steal people's published work without credit, though that would be bad enough. It's that ChatGPT's bland, soporific prose will not be impartially stolen from all the published work out there.

A writer who's hired me as an assistant sent me a page of serious nonfiction from ChatGPT. Person then said that of course the next section of writing would be per own ideas and story, but person wanted to use ChatGPT output too--it was so fascinating to see such grammatically correct, informed-sounding prose coming out of a computer...Without even noticing, in a piece of writing that was supposed to be politically neutral reportage, person used four sentences from ChatGPT that contained five left-wing virtue-signal phrases.
