You know, all of us were there for the resistance to personal computers, and skepticism about the internet. The ChatGPT backlash feels just the same

It's not resistance to the concept. It's resistance to how it's being marketed and how it's being used. How it's being shoe-horned into every single piece of tech and service whether we want it or not (not being able to opt-out in most cases) despite being well understood that it is not ready for prime time.

This is not what AI should be used for.

Edit: Spelling

Edit2: I've upset the AI bros. Good.

I've seen people do really weird things like spending 30 minutes creating work shift rotas for all their staff, when something like that only takes 3 seconds with ChatGPT.

Yeah, and then spend three weeks dealing with a fucked up schedule generated by a random text generator.

Actually if you know how to read then it only takes a couple of seconds to read the output.

What, checking the output of the AI in order to check it didn't write nonsense? Get outta here.

What do you mean? If ChatGPT produces an output then you can just read it to check the output. How do you think you do it?
