Here's the thing... so many jobs are bullshit. So many things people are paid to write, presentations made, etc. are bullshit. I'm not judging the bullshit per se. There's good bullshit and bad, necessary bullshit and not. But yeah, when you accept this reality, AI is sort of perfect for the bullshit that exists in our lives.


I’m sorry, but once you type the line ‘There's good bullshit and bad, necessary bullshit and not’ you are no longer saying anything meaningful or enlightening. Words are not supposed to be bullshit. That’s the general issue with this take.


> Words are not supposed to be

Ah, so language has been designed with a certain purpose in mind?


So bullshit, within a particular context, has value. And AI, within that context, is an infinite wealth generator.

Does this make that particular context (the world of bullshit) more valuable?

Is bullshit culture going to become more powerful now?


The danger is that ChatGPT will increase the bullshit-to-signal ratio in our lives.
