Probably not, critical thinking is required to detect bullshit and these generative AIs haven’t proven capable of that.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 1 day ago:
The added tax revenue would also make the rural places these vacation home are in more sustainable for regular residents. And probably keep local governments and even small hospitals solvent.
- Comment on we are creators 1 day ago:
And 59 years after landing on the moon we’ve just been watching Space X rockets explode instead of going back on rockets NASA proved it could engineer with slide rules and drafting tables.
- Comment on That's really not okay 1 day ago:
Plus it too evenly fits the page. There are really only a couple of places the letters are a little closer that work toward making this believable.
But yeah, up close the letterforms are clearly Generative slop.

It’s actually because they started offering syrup filled, whip cream and caramel covered drinks directly on the menu. They were briefly infamous for like 1000 calorie macchiatos.
Little shops had flavor shots before, but the rest were pretty much donut shops that sold regular utility coffee, and the sugar and fat was external (donuts sandwiches and pastries).
- Comment on Anon describes experience 3 days ago:
Similarly I got accused of plagiarism in ninth grade on a 3 page essay, because I used big words.
This was before the days of the internet. I suppose I could have used something like Encarta, but I don’t even remember if you could copy and paste into ClarisWorks from it, and it was about a fictional book we’d read anyway.
My brother got accused by the same teacher 3 years later. He had an even better vocabulary than me and went on to study theoretical physics.

Much harder to remove fingers with a scroll saw. Plus you can get old ones for almost free off marketplace.
- Comment on How do you safely film a group of masked armed men while they are in the process of committing a crime, without them knowing that you are recording? [USA] 4 days ago:
Those 360 cams would be decent for this because they don’t need aiming and you can zoom in on the interesting action after the fact.
- Comment on Yellow from the egg! 4 days ago:
If you can get local fresh eggs you might not need to refrigerate them. We get them from a relative who has a few chickens and more eggs than they can eat to share.
- Comment on Silent Street 6 days ago:
The textures are pleasing, but the lamp floating in the background is weird (much too tall given the perspective of the bench and main lamp), and the subject is too amorphous for my tastes.

From the average 4 year old?
- Comment on science 1 week ago:
Do we have a generation of kids who don’t know the band-aide colored part goes in your mouth?
Or is there a sausage/cigarette joke I’m missing?
- Comment on A slow and painful death 1 week ago:
The thermal mass of the metal, rubber and plastics inside the car will continuously reheat any fresh air that is introduced to the inside. That’s why car air conditioners are so powerful, way more BTUs than your average window unit of a similar size.
- Comment on Just keep typing, wage slaves 1 week ago:
The engineer did the right thing though on that one. And they fixed it in place and created an evacuation plan if a hurricane had come.
- Comment on Duke University lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies and signal transduction 1 week ago:
There are probably a few Texans that could afford it, but probably appear have the Hennessy scam car instead.
- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 1 week ago:
Wait, isn’t Norway mostly rich from oil?
I’m glad they use it for the good of its citizens, but it’s kinda fucking the rest of us.

It’s A but it ain’t I
Also does a recent college intern hitting ctrl-f and delete over and over count as AI?

Wait till they find out all their big trucks have transmissions.

We put the dom in freedom, and also the dumb.

Extra spicy
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 1 week ago:
Seems likely to just be 499 million less computer users. I know my father in law is only using a phone and iPad at this point. But I haven’t been a windows user since Windows NT/2000
- Comment on Oblong the taxi man 1 week ago:
On TV
I’m sure he had at least practiced a few more times before the inauguration, if not every morning since childhood in South Africa.
- Comment on Please remember to spread the word about this :( 2 weeks ago:
Dude, I just had to use an old Mac with OS10.11 on it (I know not that old) to recover a laptop in target disk mode.
It still has the widgets!
I miss the widgets.
- Comment on Hot enough for ya? 2 weeks ago:
That car could be over 140F in a hot day. It’s nearly 100F here for instance, and our internal car temp is probably over 150.
- Comment on Lämp 2 weeks ago:
Sorry I posted the link because there seemed to be doubt about whether it had scales or stockings.
- Comment on My T-shirt size is L 2 weeks ago:
This shirt may be a screwy size and Amazon may have a bunch of return data for people who bought the extra large and ended up exchanging it for a large.
But it’s more likely shitty chatbot being used as “AI” Fuck AI Slop.
- Comment on Lämp 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’s supposed to be a t-Rex leg either. Isn’t it a cartoon lion or tiger leg?
- Comment on Anon is investigated 2 weeks ago:
Slowing down their prodded is better than annoying them. Especially if you can do it without raising suspicion or too much annoyance, add friction wherever possible.
- Comment on And if so, one or both? 2 weeks ago:
Even with your legs so far apart?

More of a fetus really. At least position-wise
