AI is only creative when it's messing up. Guide rails are basically the opposite to the subversive nature of jokes, so the only time it can make with the funny is by falling off the rails

(or lifting some comedians work, but I'm not counting that as the AI's creation of course)

If mind viruses exist this is one of them along with saying "nice" after something is 69 haha

Weird sort of internet-evolved performance art where people act out the old quote, every time.

It's 20 years old. Quit having fun!


I am a sucker for cultural reference jokes, esp if it’s some subculture that I am/have been a member of (e.g. IRC in the late 90s/00s). It’s fun to find a connection to a stranger, even if it’s vague and superficial. It’s something like that feeling of familiarity and comfort you get when you sing along with a song you know all the words to.

(The score on my post above has been bouncing around all over the place, lol. The fun police are definitely out in full force. I’ll stop having fun when I’m dead, thank you.)


That's because there is no Antimemetics Division.

Christ I'd be so embarrassed to find out my AI robot has been discussing things with outsiders without my oversight

Does nobody have any shame lmao


I like how you need to tap the spoiler tags to show the text which works as a link to the individual page where you need to again unveil the spoilers


I like that too. And by "like", I mean "absolutely can't stand." Made the site unusable for me.


Dunno what it is with the wording but my brain started reading it in a bit of a "Hello Clarice" Hannibal Lecter style lol

>The specific combination of fonts on your device is nearly unique — like a fingerprint made of letters

Is this one true? I've not made any changes to fonts on my phone that I know of, wouldn't it just be bog standard iPhone fonts?

Curiosity not challenge

Would be cool if you actually did track just to prove the point like "you've opened this page 6 times now, 2 of those were via VPN and one time was using the Firefox Focus browser. Have you found any flaws in the data yet?"


I just treat it as if I'd asked a public forum the question like reddit.

Decent for stuff that doesn't really matter, even if it gets it wrong.

Still gonna be polite to it because I'm about ready to slap the next person that talks to me like an LLM, I don't want to get used to not being polite in a chat interface


Great point about being polite. I think it's pragmatic to keep "please" and "thank you" out of AI interactions, but I try to remain conscious of their ommission so I don't start down that slope.


> I just treat it as if I'd asked a public forum the question like reddit.

Because that's likely the source of the answer it's giving you.


Oh no they gave GPT ADHD


100k a month?? Well there's yer problem lmao


My brain farted :)


It takes the recurring out of recurring revenue, 100% churn


The malware of "up next" that eats billions of hours a year lol
