Unpopular opinion: you only hate chat gpt because it makes it harder to stack rank and discriminate against people.

So what everyone can write well now? great it’s a tool! Just like moving faster because you drive a car.

The good news is you’ll be easily able to hire for that writing job you need. The bad news is you won’t be able to discriminate against candidates who are not as good with the written word.

Also, an obsession with the written word is a tenant of white supremacy [salute emoji]

    ChatGPT is great because you can use it to show a potential employer how good your writing is for that writing job they’ll totally pay you to use ChatGPT to do.

    It is and always has been racism that has stopped bad writers from getting writing jobs.

      Not talent, but you can cheat your way to success and power, which is what they care about.

    I looked through her recent replies on threads, and while she has deleted the original post, it looks like she is doubling down on this take:

    I guess I’ll say this in a different way, the language around that SOME people are using around chat GPT is the same panic language society always uses with new “advancements” or tools. We saw it when GPS became a thing, we see it now with people freaking out about cursive going away, and oh my, they definitely saw it with calculators. At its core it’s a “geez how are we gonna tell people apart anymore, if we can’t test these skills.” That’s not the only argument about it…

    there are plenty of things to talk about about AI But this language definitely exists in the conversation. I recognize it easily, because it’s very, very Culty. It’s this very apocalyptic nature of discussion around it instead of the acknowledgment that human beings will keep building tools that will change everything.

    every time a new tool makes certain skills that we test for to rank folks obsolete human beings freak out

    To which all this I say… wow, she really has decided to just ignore all the discourse about generative AI*, huh? Like sure you can use this analogy but it breaks down pretty quickly, especially when you spend like 5 minutes doing any research on this stuff.

    *Would love to start using a new term here because AI oversells the whole concept. I was thinking of tacking something onto procedural generation? Mass PG? LLMPG/LPG? Added benefit of evoking petroleum gas.

      I’ve been playing with “mass averaging synthesis machines”, variations on “automated plagiarism”, “content theftwashing systems”

      still undecided tho

        Considering the amount I have to say the term whenever ranting or debating, something that can be shortened is welcomed. I like the idea of calling “automated plagiarism,” since it can be shortened to “autoplag” which is also ugly sounding.
