And it's beyond obvious in the way LLMs are conditioned, especially if you're used them long enough to notice trends. Where early on their responses were straight to the point (inaccurate as hell, yes, but that's not what we're talking about in this case) today instead they are meandering and full of straight engagement bait - programmed to feign some level of curiosity and ask stupid and needless follow-up questions to "keep the conversation going." I suspect this is just a way to increase token usage to further exploit and drain the whales who tend to pay for these kinds of services, personally.
There is no shortage of ethical quandaries brought into the world with the rise of LLMs, but in my opinion the locked-down nature of these systems is one of the most problematic; if LLMs are going to be the commonality it seems the tech sector is insistent on making happen, then we really need to push back on these companies being able to control and guide them in their own monetary interests.
It's not exactly the same, and it's been a long time now, but watching Grace Helbig go from DailyGrace with a vaguely male-catering focus and general no fucks given attitude into becoming Grace Helbig, Internet Big Sister for zoomer girls, was pretty jarring.
Fr seeing in the modlog that people are regularly getting banned from parts of the fediverse for innocuous shit like "chronic downvoting" is so disappointing.
Imo however you do or do not hit the little arrow buttons should never have any bearing on your account or standing, at all.
I don't even understand why mods/admins have access to see how people are voting, fuck that bullshit.
I am not saying the two are equally comparable, but I wonder if the same "most rapid change in human written communication" could also have been said with the proliferation of computer-based word processors equipped with spelling and grammar checks.
The reason chatgpt would recommend Nike though is because of its human-based training data. This means that for most humans the Nike ad campaign would also be the first suggestion to come to mind.
I'm not saying LLMs aren't having an impact, or denying that said impact is negative, but the way people talk about them is infuriating because it just displays a lack of understanding or forethought on how these systems work.
People always talk about how they can tell something "sounds like chatgpt" or, as is the case here, is the default chatgpt answer, while ignoring the only reason it would be so is because of the real human patterns which it is mimicking.
Brief caveats: of course chatgpt is wildly fallible and when producing purely generative content it pulls from nowhere because it's just remixing unrelated sources, but for things within the normal course of discussion and output chatgpt's output is vastly more human-like than we want to pretend.
I would almost guarantee that Nike's "just so it" was the singularly most popular answer to this kind of assignment before chatgpt existed too.
I understood your objection was with them as advertisements and wasn't trying to imply otherwise, I just wanted to clarify my own position due to the commonality of criticism of pizzacake for her sex work which, again, I adamantly object to.
I appreciate that but I do want to be clear, I do not care if pizzacake has an onlyfans or uses her comics to advertise said onlyfans. I am sex positive, and aggressively pro-sex worker, so I will never disparage pizzacake or anyone else for their sexuality or participation in sex work of any kind.
This is not my objection to pizzacake and I strongly agree with those who rightly call out the criticism of her which boils down to judgement of her for her onlyfans. My issues is with the comic content she makes, how she conducts herself online, and mostly with her army of sycophants.
I personally wish pizzacake nothing but success in her onlyfans endeavors and she deserves to be as free from misogynistic comments wrongfully judging her for her sex work as anyone else.
Your sentiment isn't different just because you couch it in decorum. I've played that game long enough, I'm over it. You are very good at it though, kudos.
This shit is exactly why I don't what pizzacake's bullshit here. For some fucking reason if you dare say anything short of "great comic" you are immediately lambasted as some kind of social miscreant who must be motivated by anti-women rhetoric.
You are not allowed to dislike pizzacake comics.
"You don't have to comment, you can just scroll!"
We're fucking allowed to discuss content online, even critically.
But not pizzacake. For some reason pizzacake is fucking sacred and if you aren't actively licking the shit out of her asshole you're literally the devil.
And my level of investment automatically invalidates any point I make right? Because that's how discussions work, discredit and invalidate the arguer rather than the argument.
Yeah, passivity in the face of decline has always been the preferable option. Protecting our sacred decorum is so much more important than maintaining a critical eye and standards. Great take.
I'll take my downvotes, but while I agree with the sentiment in this particular comic I have no fucking interest in seeing shitty pizzacake and her no-punchline comics or her army of sycophants here on Lemmy.
I will never understand why some of you insist on bringing the garbage we left Reddit to escape over here to Lemmy. Let pizzacake have her tiny window of microcelebrity on reddit and please spare the rest of us this bullshit.
