I was really expecting this comment to end with “written by chatbot GPT”.

> It’s the equivalent of being unable to distinguish between a chef-prepared meal and something with the Lunchables logo on it.
> Chat-bots produce painfully average offerings; works that check all of the surface-level boxes, but that are completely flat. They still scare me, though, because they’re revealing the fact that people who are willing and able to recognize as much are apparently in the minority.
I know it sucks not having one's effort as a creator appreciated, but frankly, you're kinda being a bit of a pretentious drama queen here. Your comment with the poem received 2k upvotes with only a couple heavily downvoted users implying it was made by ChatGPT (which is currently a trend to use in reddit comments). Obviously, they are in the vast minority, not the ones that recognized your efforts.
There's nothing new or controversial here, there have always been arrogant and/or ignorant people online eager to question and diminish professionals and creators, with or without AI. For every topic there are dozens of armchair experts waiting for their chance to jump into the conversation, AI or not.
However there have always been hundreds of shitty creators too, producing content that is as bad, or worse, than AI generated one, being cheered on by a cohort of yes-men, so you can't exactly fault people for not being able to tell the difference. I went to an open mic last week, and honestly, AI would produce more enjoyable poetry than some of the people there if we are to talk strictly about the structure and content.
Maybe to you, someone skilled in the craft, the difference between human and an AI's poems is day and night, but to the average Joe it all looks the same, and it's not their fault, the simple truth is that it takes knowledge and expertise to appreciate skills and effort. I'd bet if you were shown artwork done by AI and by humans, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference either. But since most people do have experience with food, anyone would be able to tell Lunchables from a professional meal. I know it's an exaggeration, but AI vs human content is nowhere near as obvious to average people.
Mind you, none of this should be some kind of shocking news to anyone, AI is not the culprit here. The reality is that many people have no sense of taste or quality. That's why you have garbage content being popular, be it TV shows like Jersey Shore, generic music, r/funny or asset flip games. It always has been and always will be the case, many people simply don't care about arts and won't be able to tell apart good one from bad, AI or no AI. Personally, I'm into board games and it's same thing here, the amount of people who likes Monopoly, despite it being a shitty game all things considered, is massive. Ironically, I too started out my journey into the hobby with it.
It's tough being a creator and realizing that most people have no appreciation for one's craft, but many do. Unfortunately that's what decades of shitty media does to society, and few have time and effort to learn the better, nor do many need too either. You just gotta try to filter out the noise and focus on people appreciating your art.

What a stupid take.
I also complain about water companies dumping raw sewage into our rivers whilst still taking a shit every day too.

Yes, maybe it does.
You might be proving a different point without meaning to, though.

This maybe proves my point about the self awareness thing.

It displayed 5Ge or something. 5G NR is an evolution on 4G LTE, so it might soorta make sense.

Even if they could, Congress ceased to function as a governing body unless the same party controls both houses since the mid 90s.

I’m not sure what you think is wrong with that clause, but maybe that proves your point.
“Self-awareness” needs a hyphen, incidentally, and “AI’s” needs an apostrophe.

Reply to comment by HanaBothWays in Panera Bread will use palm-scanning technology for its loyalty program by Nicolas-matteo
Unfortunately, I'd imagine many people won't think farther when companies say "It's for your security, don't you want to be like Tom Cruise buying your coffee?". I've always wondered why companies didn't do something like this, use fingerprints for verification. I'd imagine there's some good money selling that list/information to various intelligence companies/organizations and law enforcement at the least.

The author spent half the article romanticizing domestic terrorism… it’s way more than one paragraph.

Working adjacent to a lot of leaders in technology and biotech companies, no they aren’t scared. This author is full of shit.

It’s a bit unnerving how long this author spent kind of romanticizing domestic terrorism. Like I don’t know how the editor at Yahoo Finance/LA Times greenlit this one. Guy literally spends half the article talking about domestic terrorism with hints that it should happen again. What a lunatic.
