  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

And it's not even good at hammering, because it misses half of the time while applauding your bad swings.

Half of the time? Feeling generous today, I see...

If you're REALLY specific in your prompt you might get better results? Maybe?

If the goal is to hammer everything, then there are no bad swings

It also makes you more stupid the longer you use it.

Once a company goes public is when you should abandon all hope. Capitalism cares about money. That's it. A publicly traded company has a fiduciary responsibility to its shareholders to make decisions that make line go up. That's it. After the UHC CEO murder, the shareholders sued the company for not making decisions that benefited them. Money is god, and that is all that matters.

It was all just a tech demo in the beginning. Then it got popular and was promptly taken hostage by the desperate Next Big Thing™ gang, who really needed something to exploit to keep the gravy train rolling.

Is this a metaphor for something? Hmm.. I dunno, can’t figure it out. Let me ask ChatGPT.

Everybody knows the hammer saying. This extension is easy to remember and easy to communicate. And so true.

Interesting that this is so absolutely true and we all share this experience so keenly that they didn't even need to mention ai in it yet we all knew that was what it's about.

I was trying to do a return on Amazon today and I had to use my computer because for some reason my phone browser kept getting it to go into some AI workflow / chat thing that didn't work at all. It just loaded forever and did nothing.
