ChatGPT comparing Centro with a typical letsrun know it all poster. LMAO!

This AI needs to be tuned up with keywords of "Mother's basement" "moran" "Dunning-Kruger" etc.etc.

(full disclaimer: I like that the boards are anonymous)

Chat GPT when I asked it to "write an article about the toxicity of LetsRun's message boards:

"The toxicity of Let's Run's message boards has been a subject of concern for many users and fans of the popular running website. Let's Run, which was founded in 2000, has become one of the largest and most active online communities for runners, offering news, training tips, and discussion forums for runners of all levels. However, in recent years, the site's message boards have become a hotbed of negativity, hate speech, and personal attacks.
One of the primary causes of this toxic culture on Let's Run is the anonymity of the online community. Many users post under pseudonyms, which makes them feel free to express their opinions without consequence. This has led to an environment in which some users feel emboldened to attack others and engage in abusive behavior. Some of the most common forms of toxicity on the site include personal attacks, racism, sexism, and hate speech.
Another contributing factor is the highly competitive and intense nature of the running community. Many users take running very seriously and are passionate about the sport, but this can also lead to a culture of negativity and aggression. Some users are quick to judge and attack others, whether it be for their running times, training methods, or personal opinions.
The toxic culture of Let's Run's message boards has had a number of negative consequences for the site and its users. For example, many users have reported feeling intimidated and afraid to participate in the forums, leading to a decline in the overall quality of discussion and a reduction in the number of active users. Additionally, the site's reputation has suffered as a result of the toxic behavior, and many users have chosen to leave the community altogether.
To address the issue of toxicity on Let's Run's message boards, the site's administrators have taken a number of steps. They have implemented new policies and moderation tools aimed at reducing hate speech and abusive behavior, and they have increased the number of moderators to better monitor the forums. Additionally, they have encouraged users to report toxic behavior and have promised to take swift action against those who engage in it.
Despite these efforts, however, the problem of toxicity on Let's Run's message boards remains. Many users continue to engage in abusive behavior, and the site's administrators have struggled to find a solution that works for everyone.
In conclusion, the toxicity of Let's Run's message boards is a serious issue that has had a negative impact on the site and its users. While the site's administrators have taken steps to address the problem, much work remains to be done to create a more positive and inclusive online community for runners. It is up to each and every user to take responsibility for their actions and to help create a safe and supportive environment for everyone."

That’s insane. Frickin robot nailed it.

ChatGPT is garbage in, garbage out. Eventually there will be a red pilled AI version, that hasn't been fed insane Leftist thinking as a foundation, that will be much more useful to humanity.

If you wonder how chatgtp works, this is just things that have been written on LRC and then regurgitated in paragraph format. Just because something is mentioned on the web many times doesn’t make it accurate.

It needs references to screenplays, a country up north, and pianos as well.

Wow, this is a truly amazing writeup.

Almost. A few case examples ("Salazar", "Shelby", "Tuohy") would've added some flavor.

Isn't this what human intelligence does as well? Read and respond? Or is your view that there's something magical that happens in-between these things?

Anyone want to explain the sudden hype behind this text-producing app? I’m seeing it everywhere and it seems like people are somehow shocked that given everything else computers can do, someone could program a thing to spit out reasonably accurate answers to questions. Some of the time. Sometimes it spits out some nonsense but other times it doesn’t. So amazing, definitely worth the hype!

I appreciate you're a bit upset, but which bit exactly are you crying about?

All seems pretty accurate to me.

You're 100% right and most people won't get it either. ChatGPT isn't "thinking" or coming up with "original thought", all that is merely scraped from posts on this very forum on this very subject, or in other articles where people have bashed it.

ChatGPT is just clever at merging all that into something that seems real. Garbage in, garbage out.

I'll illustrate a real life scenario that made me think "wow, this is pretty clever."

I'm building a new mountain bike, and went to buy a new wheels set. I had options for "boost" and "non-boost" hubs. I wasn't sure what that was, so I asked:

And that was exactly what I need. To the point, accurate (in this case) information on the difference. No list of links or websites on the page, where I still have to sift through and read to find the answer.

Of course, had it been wrong, then that would be a pain. And that's the cruxt of it.

Reality check: You get back exactly what you put in. Straight from ChatGPT:

Please explain how the letsrun.com website has overcome a toxic past to become a positive supportive environment.

LetsRun.com is a popular running website that was initially known for hosting a toxic and hostile community, characterized by aggressive behavior and negative comments. However, the website has made significant efforts to overcome its toxic past and establish a more positive and supportive environment for its users.
One of the major changes was the introduction of moderation policies aimed at limiting and removing harmful behavior. This included the use of filters to detect and block inappropriate comments, as well as the creation of a reporting system that allows users to flag comments for review by moderators. The moderators were trained to handle toxic behavior and enforce the site's rules in a fair and consistent manner.
Additionally, the website made changes to its user interface and design to promote positivity and encourage more constructive discussions. This included the introduction of a rewards system that recognizes and rewards users for helpful and positive contributions.
The website also actively promoted and encouraged the use of positive language, and worked to create a supportive community culture through the use of features such as forums and user groups, where runners can connect and discuss common interests.
Through these changes, LetsRun.com has transformed from a toxic environment to a positive and supportive one. The website now serves as a valuable resource for runners, offering a wealth of information, advice, and support for those looking to improve their performance and reach their running goals.

You could equally well prompt ChatGPT to write about how important letsrun.com is to the sport, and you would get just as much, which also in its way would be accurate. It just rearranges stuff on the internet already. It didn't form an opinion. The fact that it is spelling letsrun wrong, just like the founders, shows that it is not doing anything remotely similar to the operation of human intelligence. It is not 'making a mistake' or forgetting the rule. It is dogmatically following a rule of grammar it was given or picked up from comparing large #'s of examples.

but when people come on to say the same thing...

Face it, ChatGPT AI intellect surpasses the aggregated "intellect" of all LR posters. We should just let ChatGPT create and respond to all posts and we'll be better off for it.

It wrote 500 words of my philosophy paper that I reworded in order to make it better. Took one hour instead of 5

This is actually a great example of how multiple things are usually true at the same time.
The bulk of both ‘essays’ contained pretty accurate information. The overall conclusion “is it toxic or now positive” is subjective and left to perception so obviously you’ll get people arriving at various conclusions from the same information. ChatGPT simply reminds us of this.
