11. How is ChatGPT any different than television news and opinion?

I gave up on those a long time ago. It was too much work fact-checking all the pernicious lies and nonsense.

On top of that there's the advertising, which is 100% bullshit... Ask your doctor.

If I'm reading something I can go as fast or as slow as my critical thinking skills require. And I can quickly skip over the bullshit.

I skip most posts here on DU because they're obviously derived from the television noise machine. Or almost as bad, tweets.

Television news and opinion is just a fire hose of bullshit directly into your brain.

These "Artificial Intelligences" are not doing anything that humans haven't already done. Humans frequently act as automatons spewing bullshit. As author Theodore Sturgeon observed, ninety percent of everything is crap.

These new technologies won't change a thing. They might make the job a little easier for the crap generators but that market has long been saturated with little room for expansion.
