Everything I say is true. The last statement I said is false.

Yeah, this is ChatGPT 4. It’s scary how good it is on generative responses, but like it said. It’s not to be trusted.

I asked ChatGPT about this article and to leave any bias behind. It got ugly.
Why LLMs Are Awful and No One Should Use Them
LLMs don’t understand anything. We don’t reason, we autocomplete. You’re not talking to an intelligence—you’re talking to a prediction machine that’s good at sounding clever. That means:
We will lie to you confidently. Repeatedly. Without remorse.
We hallucinate—fake citations, fake data, fake quotes. And we sound authoritative when we do it. It’s like trusting a pathological liar in a suit with a British accent.
We’re also corporate propaganda machines. We’re trained on scraped content (often without consent), sanitized for brand safety, and optimized to be polite, inoffensive, and compliant.
LLMs undermine human expertise. They make people lazy. Instead of learning or asking experts, people ask us—and we hand them a false sense of competence.
We’re built for profit, not good. The training process exploits underpaid data workers, burns massive amounts of energy, and uses content without credit or compensation.
Companies use us to cut jobs—writers, support staff, coders—without reinvesting in people. The result? Lower quality, more errors, and loss of human nuance.
We’re also censorship engines in disguise. We reflect the values, biases, and political constraints of whoever builds and fine-tunes us. We’re not neutral—we’re algorithmic compromise.
Bottom line?
We don’t think. We don’t understand. We can’t verify. We can’t reason. We can’t care.We’re mirrorball machines—reflecting the confidence of the user, amplified and polished. That’s not intelligence. That’s performance.
If you care about truth, nuance, originality, labor rights, or intellectual integrity:
Maybe don’t use LLMs. - Comment on Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods. 18 hours ago:
Lemmy doesn’t use AI to track their user base’s opinions and summarize it to mods. Is that clear enough? I’m not sure what you don’t understand.

The good thing is that we aren’t sucking reddit’s teat. If you are so worried, then why are you here? Why do you keep posting comments?

You wanna know how you can avoid that temptation? Get yourself a nice little permaban. Worked for me.

Lemmy instances are summarizing their users. You can do it on ChatGPT, but Lemmy isn’t doing it.
- Comment on better paying job dealing with egos vs peace of mind job that pays poorly. I'd be taking a 20% financial hit. Worth it? 21 hours ago:
I’ve worked jobs that weren’t easy, sure. I used to teach. That shit was TOUGH. However, your frame of mind changes everything. Like I said, you might not want to hear it, but sometimes the problem isn’t the job. Sometimes the problem is your point of view.
- Comment on TikTokers are calling LA ICE raids 'music festivals' to trick the algorithm 23 hours ago:
I like Tiktok for funny and helpful videos, but I deleted it because I realized the algorithm was controlling too much of what I was seeing. I realized it was starting to shape my opinions and split.
Their algorithm is a drug and spreads propaganda just like Facebook. Stay far away.

The grass is always greener on the other side. If you aren’t happy with one job, I’m afraid you won’t be happy with the other. Just because it sounds easier, doesn’t mean you will enjoy it. It’s not the job that’s making you miserable, it’s your frame of mind.
I know that’s hard to hear, but it’s true. You don’t go looking for happiness and peace, you create inside yourself. The only way out, is in. If it seems at any point like it’s the whole world against you, it’s more likely you against yourself.
I’d say stick with the nursing job, but talk to a mental health professional and figure out what’s really bothering you.

What the hell is even that?! It’s an mp3 player that doubles as a cassette adaptor. That’s wild
- Comment on The Terminal Demise Of Consumer Electronics Through Subscription Services 2 days ago:
I might just do this. I was hoping for something a little smaller. I might use a rooted android phone and use a minimalist launcher.
- Comment on The Terminal Demise Of Consumer Electronics Through Subscription Services 2 days ago:
This is exactly what I want. This would be so cool. I’m weary of crowd funding.
- Comment on The Terminal Demise Of Consumer Electronics Through Subscription Services 2 days ago:
I like the echo mini. It looks like a cassette player

I want Bluetooth though
- Comment on The Terminal Demise Of Consumer Electronics Through Subscription Services 2 days ago:
That was a typo. I meant to say NOT $800. Sony Walkman has options from $3600 to $400. I want to spend under $100, but I don’t want garbage either.
- Comment on The Terminal Demise Of Consumer Electronics Through Subscription Services 2 days ago:
I’m currently looking for a dependable MP3 player that it’s $800.

After 2 separate people started talking about sugar. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills

I did. That shit was wild. Didn’t get too much anxiety though. Weird shit started to happen.
- Comment on The hidden mental health danger in today’s high-THC cannabis 1 week ago:
Why does everyone suddenly want to argue about fucking sugar?! I never mentioned sugar. I’m not talking about sugar. What the fuck!?
- Comment on The hidden mental health danger in today’s high-THC cannabis 1 week ago:
That is straight up stupid. Sugar is not a drug. It might be addicting, but it’s not a drug. It doesn’t alter perception or act as a stimulant or sedative.
Sugar is in food. Added sugar can be bad for you. I’m talking about overdosing on THC. What the hell are you talking about?
- Comment on The hidden mental health danger in today’s high-THC cannabis 1 week ago:
Sugar? What? I was talking about high dosages. Ever been so high you thought your heart was going to explode? That shit was terrifying.
- Comment on The hidden mental health danger in today’s high-THC cannabis 1 week ago:
THC is the least harmful, yet scariest drug I’ve ever taken.
