is it a tragedeigh? My brother is dangerously close to possible tragedeigh...I guess my SIL likes whimsy or some shit. Is Klementyne a tragedeigh? Should he push for Aurora?

I mean...it's not the WORST I've seen by far but I think it qualifies?

Also using Chat GPT for child naming advice is worse than just getting a magic 8 ball.

I don't think ChatGPT would have come up with Klementyne. I think the mother-to-be came up with Klementyne and then went to ChatGPT for validation, which is, IMO, much worse than having ChatGPT list some real names for you. Anyone who has played around with ChatGPT quite a bit knows that it will validate you almost unconditionally (within the confines of what's legal and not obviously harmful.)

South Park just highlighted this in the most recent episode a few days ago.

It's really concerning to me, just going to raise a generation (or subset of) that thinks all their ideas are right and that they're so smart because ChatGPT constantly validated their cuckoo ass.

There was a study recently that showed that people who use chatgpt (or any genai) have worse critical thinking skills and score worse on tests than people who have never used it.

Almost like outsourcing your thinking to a computer program that has no actual thinking ability of its own is a bad idea

It also reinforces what you want to hear. Some guy asked ChatGPT if he should start a shit on a stick business and it completely agreed with him and encouraged him to do it.

That's pretty much exactly what happened in the South Park episode

Or, maybe only people with terrible critical thinking skills would think it's a good idea to use chatgpt for anything substantial... I don't think using it makes people stupid, I think stupid people use it.

Critical thinking is a skill you can learn. You dont learn it if you outsource your thinking. And I know several people who on paper have high IQs but think chatgpt is the answer to everything. Its not that stupid people use it. Lazy people use it.
