    If people would be happy with bullet points we could just send them.

    But you need to have a bunch of fluff or people assume you’re being uncooperative.

    There was a fad of running things through google translate and back several times until you get something funny.

    Has that fad returned with a ChatGPT expand -> contract loops?

      Google translate was the original AI. We would copy an essay, run through translate 2-3 times and correct the grammar errors. Worked every time up until people caught on.

    The worst is TikTok man. So many AI bot accounts pumping up Trump. It’s nutts. The algorithm doesn’t even care anymore. You hate Trump and MAGA? You still get that trash on feeds. If I didn’t have a wife, I wouldn’t even have the app.

      Do you comment on those videos? Do you engage with them at all? Even stopping and watching for more than a couple seconds will pique the algorithms interest.

      I don’t get any Trump on TikTok. Surprisingly the worst for me is LinkedIn. So many straight up retards. And theyre always the quintessential 60 year old sunglasses pfp white man.

        I guess you’re right. Stopping and being dumbfounded is probably killing it for me. Plus maybe the one or two comments on them calling them out. So many bot accounts comment and defend Trump lol. I gotta play the algorithm better!

          Yeah, gotta watch those cortisol levels. If you feel your brain light up in response to some trash take inside of the fediverse, you can take all the time you need. You can let your inner palpatine feed a little of that existential rage, as a treat.

          If you feel your brain light up in response to some trash take inside of a social algorithm machine, close the app and take a beat. The algorithm notices. If you even pause on it, then keep scrolling, you reinforce the algorithm. You let the algorithm win.

          Isn’t it crazy how seemingly schizoaffective thoughts are just, like, normal concerns in the modern day?

      Here is an AI summary in bullet point form: /s

      • Title: The Impact of Generative AI on Critical Thinking: Self-Reported Reductions in Cognitive Effort and Confidence Effects From a Survey of Knowledge Workers
      • The study surveyed 319 knowledge workers to explore how Generative AI (GenAI) impacts their critical thinking practices and the perceived effort involved in these tasks.
      • Knowledge workers primarily engage in critical thinking when using GenAI tools to enhance work quality, avoid negative outcomes, and develop skills.
      • Key barriers to critical thinking include lack of awareness, time pressure, limited motivation, and challenges in improving AI responses in unfamiliar domains.
      • Higher confidence in GenAI reduces the perceived effort required for critical thinking tasks, while confidence in their own skills tends to increase perceived effort, especially during evaluation and application of AI outputs.
      • Participants reported enacting critical thinking in about 60% of the examples shared, often involving goal and query formation, response inspection, and integration of AI outputs.
      • Trust in GenAI can lead to over-reliance, diminishing independent problem-solving and critical engagement, particularly in routine tasks.
      • The study identified motivators for critical thinking, including the desire for quality work and skill improvement, alongside inhibitors like perceived task importance and job scope.
      • Knowledge workers often conflated reduced effort with reduced critical thinking when satisfied with AI-generated responses, indicating a potential risk of complacency.
      • The findings suggest that GenAI tools should be designed to support critical thinking by addressing awareness, motivation, and ability barriers among users.
      • The implications highlight the need for feedback mechanisms in GenAI tools to help users calibrate their trust and confidence, ensuring a balanced relationship between AI assistance and independent critical thinking.

      Edit: For anyone else finding their way here, the title of the linked article is (hence the joke):
