    copilot did the same with basic math. just to test it I said “let’s say I have a 10x6 rectangle. what number would I have to divide width and height by, in order to end up with a rectangle that’s half the area?”

    it said “in order to make it half, you should divide them by 2. so [pointlessly lengthy steps explaining the divisions]”

    I said “but that would make the area 5x3 = 15 units which is not half the area of 60”

    it said “you’re right! in order to … [fixing the answer to √2 using approximation”

    I don’t know if I said it then, or after some other fucking nonsense but when I said “you’re useless” it had the fucking audacity to take offense and end the conversation!

    like fuck off, you don’t get to have fake pride if you don’t have basic fake intelligence but use it in your description.

      Its a perfect encapsulation of the corpo mindset:

      Whatever I do is profound, meaningful, with endless possibilities for future greatness…

      … even though I’m just talking out of my ass 99% of the time…

      … and if you have the audacity, the nerve, to have a completely normal reaction when you determine that that is what I am doing, pshaw, how uncouth, I won’t stand for your abuse!

      They’ve done it. They’ve made a talking (not thinking) machine in their own image.

      And it was not good.

      You start a conversation you can’t even finish it You’re talkin’ a lot, but you’re not sayin’ anything When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed Say something once, why say it again?
