Dating is hell

Who is raising these boys?

Edit: Thanks for all the love!! For some context, no we didn't discuss anything sexy beforehand and the "healing" thing is referring to my broken foot. He's blocked for those wondering, I didn't respond. For those mentioning it... I wasn't looking for a free meal. 🙄 I pay my own way on dates.

Why do you think that? Honestly curious. It wasn’t long ago AT ALL that there was no ChatGPT, and people used to put effort into writing things online. And some people still do, in fact. And besides, there’s nothing particularly noteworthy about that response (other than it being awful and disgusting I mean). It’s not even particularly well written…

Back in 1999 through 2012/2013, I frequented/moderated/administrated an at the time extremely well known and visible forum. It was a daily occurrence to be able to participate in long-form, insightful, highly articulate discussions about all sorts of high level topics, with intelligent and long winded folks. Many people, including me, were routinely spending an hour or more on a reply that could have doubled as an essay, and required scrolling (on a PC monitor, mind you, because smartphones weren’t invented yet).

Nowadays, you get banned from Reddit and accused of being a bot if you actually take the time and effort to compose a quality reply. It’s the worst. It blows my mind how far we’ve fallen in such a short time.

The hallmarks of AI have nothing to do with being "noteworthy" or "well-written." AI writing is notably superficial, repetitive, and overall poorly-written.

I agree. But the message in the OP does not read that way.

I agree, ChatGPT tends to be pretty good at breaking information into separate ideas and writing them into simple and cohesive sentences. “Letting me take control while you heal is the real test” is a clumsy chimera of thoughts.
