To underline Blanchfield’s point, the ChatGPT book selection process was found to be unreliable and inconsistent when repeated by Popular Science. “A repeat inquiry regarding ‘The Kite Runner,’ for example, gives contradictory answers,” the Popular Science reporters noted. “In one response, ChatGPT deems Khaled Hosseini’s novel to contain ‘little to no explicit sexual content.’ Upon a separate follow-up, the LLM affirms the book ‘does contain a description of a sexual assault.’”

    So many questions!

    Are you suggesting that the political aspects of technology shouldn’t be discussed in a technology community?

    Are you implying that technology is apolitical? That there are technology subjects to discuss that don’t have a political component?

    Do discussions of the applications of technology not belong in a technology community?

        The guy you’re trying to pass the buck to, money_loo, is from a lemmy instance that only has Chicago sports communities and whose front page is mostly federated meme posts. You’re a BeeHaw user. You’ve presumably read and agreed to the Beehaw community documents.

        I expect more than anti-intellectualism from you.
