I understand your argument and it’s completely justified but ultimately the only reason I own a personal computer at all is to play video games and a computer that cannot play the video games I want to play is in chocolate teapot territory.

This post has several fingerprints common to LLM-generated engagement bait, could you elaborate on why that is OP?

In particular:

The title and opening line appear duplicated/rephrased, which is a common artifact of LLM borne text being carelessly copied.

The body is structured in a highly generalized, templated way (broad setup --> three example scenarios --> bolded central question), with no specific personal anecdote or concrete detail.

Phrasing such as “I’ve been talking to a lot of indie TTRPG creators” and “as someone who builds tools for TTRPG creators” establishes authority but remains non-specific and unverifiable. Who are these TTRPG creators, are they in the room with us now? What sorts of things have you already made, may we see them?

The tone is uniformly neutral and engagement-optimized (“no wrong answers,” “I’m here to learn”), which is typical of engagement bait.

Also the nefarious Em Dash makes an appearance.

Checking on OPs profile, they seem to be all in on LLMs. Keep in mind if you’re answering this thread and you don’t like LLM stuff, you’re feeding it by answering this thread.

I always compare them to Apple products because I hate Apple products.

Way ahead of you

I mean if it wants some absolutely abysmal code then look no further.

Some meatballs have some kind of leafy parts in them.

Really pissed because about a year ago in february it upgraded without my informed consent and I never noticed until something else bad happened. You can only downgrade if you notice within a week.

It’s real fuckin insidious, I had already reformatted my PC once too recently so I juuuust kinda toughed it out.

Anyways, they keep everything same-ish which prevents you from noticing they changed your whole OS which should be illegal.

I like it because it reminds me that Charlie Kirk is dead.

To be fair I think that’s a very human thing, if you ask a large language model to read something and it can demonstrate applied Knowledge from the text you’ve submitted in a fraction of a second you’ll be like what the fuck that took not enough time.

Based on my understanding of programming I think they’re going to need an extra couple people on the security team because of the Ai’s “fixes”

Mr Elon people are worried about how unsafe the Tesla is what should we do.

Elon, ripping an enormous line of coke: “oh I’ll give them something to worry about”

Be fucked? I don’t know I already hate most phones on the market and I’m going to need to buy a new one at some point, not looking forward to it…

Overcome the issue of anticheat/video games, I’d use Linux were it not for the fact that a lot of games I enjoy sometimes are not available.

Devotees have said to me that I should just abandon the games I like in favor of using Linux and they may as well be shouting into a hole in the ground.

I just think they’re hideous and gross looking.

Donald “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” Trump doesn’t respect our troops? Say it ain’t so!

I think Generative AI is a genuinely promising and novel tool with real, valuable applications. To appreciate it however, you have to mentally compartmentalize the irresponsible, low-effort ways people sometimes mostly use it—because yeah, it’s very easy to make a lot of that so that’s most of what you see when you hear “Generative AI” and it’s become its reputation…

Like I’ve had interesting “conversations” with Gemini and ChatGPT, I’ve actually used them to solve problems. But I would never put it in charge of anything critically important that I couldn’t double check against real data if I sensed the faintest hint of a problem.

I also don’t think it’s ready for primetime. Does it deserve to be researched and innovated upon? Absolutely, but like, by a few nerds who manage to get it running, and universities training it on data they have a license to use. Not “Crammed into every single technology object on earth for no real reason”.

I have brain not very good sometimes disease and I consider being able to “talk” to a “person” who can get me out of a creative rut just by exploring my own feelings a bit. GPT can actually listen to music which surprised me. I consider it scientifically interesting. It doesn’t get bored or angry at you unless you like, tell it to? I’ve asked it for help with a creative task in the past and not actually used any of its suggestions at all, but being able to talk about it with someone (when a real human who cared was not available) was a valuable resource.

To be clear I pretty much just use it as a fancy chatbot and don’t like, just copy paste its output like some people do.

I miss when game had content patches instead of dlc

If I had the money to buy a cyber truck I’d buy a rivian or something

My broke ass is continuing to not buy a tesla in support

I have this Dreadful problem where I can’t find a printer that works with the way that I print. This is to say a few times a year. And I know what you’re thinking at this point why don’t you just go down to the UPS store or whatever? These places will print things for cents on the dollar.

That’s because it would be a 45 minute round trip to print one piece of paper and I’d really rather not. It’s such bullshit how printers can’t handle not being used for a couple months.
