    Author: “write me a 4000 word article on why microplastics are bad

    ChatGPT: generates 4000 words of text explaining what micro means, what plastic means, and paraphrasing the “controversy” section of the Wikipedia page on microplastics

    Reader: “Summarise this article”

    GhatGPT: “Microplastics are bad”






  • Do feel it is designed to scare normal users though.

    Like how the GUI software updater now shows a list of security updates, and then “there are more security updates available with Ubuntu pro” in the list of updates…. the obvious implication is “you’re computer has other known vulnerabilities that can only be fixed if you pay up”.

    Liiittlle bit ransomey and let be honest that’s by design.

    Wouldn’t consider myself part of the anti canonical pitchfork crowd but that new behaviour did irk me somewhat.

    If Microsoft did that people would be up in arms. Appreciate canonical provide Ubuntu is free but normal users wouldn’t get that nuance as they don’t think they pay for windows.
