The worst is TikTok man. So many AI bot accounts pumping up Trump. It’s nutts. The algorithm doesn’t even care anymore. You hate Trump and MAGA? You still get that trash on feeds. If I didn’t have a wife, I wouldn’t even have the app.
Do you comment on those videos? Do you engage with them at all? Even stopping and watching for more than a couple seconds will pique the algorithms interest.
I don’t get any Trump on TikTok. Surprisingly the worst for me is LinkedIn. So many straight up retards. And theyre always the quintessential 60 year old sunglasses pfp white man.
I guess you’re right. Stopping and being dumbfounded is probably killing it for me. Plus maybe the one or two comments on them calling them out. So many bot accounts comment and defend Trump lol. I gotta play the algorithm better!

There was a fad of running things through google translate and back several times until you get something funny.
Has that fad returned with a ChatGPT expand -> contract loops?
Decearing egg!!
Google translate was the original AI. We would copy an essay, run through translate 2-3 times and correct the grammar errors. Worked every time up until people caught on.
Talk to text and text to talk have made voicemails unnecessary.
It would be a shame if you had to text someone
Reverse lossy compression
It’s so sad this happens just because people can’t handle not looking professional 😭
I could look professional… for money.
people can’t handle not looking professional 😭
For weeird definitions of ‘professional’, right?
At both my jobs, I talk in points; I write in points; I rewrite their long-winded shit “just to be sure we’re clear,” in points.
It’s not god’s work I’m doing, but it preserves my sanity when it’s distilled down to facts and goals like my technical writing prof recommended so many years ago. \shrug
I absolutely despise what I call “Bookkeeping” otherwise known as writing stuff for the sake of having more words
But bookkeeping already means something else…
Well yes but in dutch its kinda just used for any type of “paperwork” hence I just call it bookkeeping
It’s a good thing you added those additional words instead of saying simply
I despise “Bookkeeping”
They really helped make your point much more clear:-).
Ftfy:
I:
- talk
- write
- rewrite
in points.
If people would be happy with bullet points we could just send them.
But you need to have a bunch of fluff or people assume you’re being uncooperative.
Sometimes it’s frustrating not being able to answer a yes or no question with just yes or no
I have never met that kind of person that won’t accept a short answer that actually answers a question.
What I have seen plenty of is people that are completely sure nobody else will accept short answers. They specifically will always accept it, of course, but nobody else.

“Why can’t I just send bullet points?”
“It’s bad etiquette. You have to put in the effort to write a proper email, to show you care.”
“Okay, how do I write a proper email?”
“Oh I just use ChatGPT mostly.”
Here is an AI summary in bullet point form: /s
- Title: The Impact of Generative AI on Critical Thinking: Self-Reported Reductions in Cognitive Effort and Confidence Effects From a Survey of Knowledge Workers
- The study surveyed 319 knowledge workers to explore how Generative AI (GenAI) impacts their critical thinking practices and the perceived effort involved in these tasks.
- Knowledge workers primarily engage in critical thinking when using GenAI tools to enhance work quality, avoid negative outcomes, and develop skills.
- Key barriers to critical thinking include lack of awareness, time pressure, limited motivation, and challenges in improving AI responses in unfamiliar domains.
- Higher confidence in GenAI reduces the perceived effort required for critical thinking tasks, while confidence in their own skills tends to increase perceived effort, especially during evaluation and application of AI outputs.
- Participants reported enacting critical thinking in about 60% of the examples shared, often involving goal and query formation, response inspection, and integration of AI outputs.
- Trust in GenAI can lead to over-reliance, diminishing independent problem-solving and critical engagement, particularly in routine tasks.
- The study identified motivators for critical thinking, including the desire for quality work and skill improvement, alongside inhibitors like perceived task importance and job scope.
- Knowledge workers often conflated reduced effort with reduced critical thinking when satisfied with AI-generated responses, indicating a potential risk of complacency.
- The findings suggest that GenAI tools should be designed to support critical thinking by addressing awareness, motivation, and ability barriers among users.
- The implications highlight the need for feedback mechanisms in GenAI tools to help users calibrate their trust and confidence, ensuring a balanced relationship between AI assistance and independent critical thinking.
Edit: For anyone else finding their way here, the title of the linked article is (hence the joke):
“The Impact of Generative AI on Critical Thinking: Self-Reported Reductions in Cognitive Effort and Confidence Effects From a Survey of Knowledge Workers”
I can’t even describe how confused and annoyed at this. Why do things have to be made complicated and not simplified instead. With everything, make things more simple, devices too which would make them more repairable. You really do not need separate apps for your fridge, dishwasher and coffee maker. Just have dumb fridge, dishwasher with few buttons and french press/whatever way you like your coffee prepared. The buirocracy is just idiotic to me.

Sounds like running an email through translationparty.com
So it’s an idiot modem.
That can make serious mistakes. I predict, that someone will lose great money due to hallucinations in the way…
I shit you not, I heard both of these mentioned as potential AI uses on one introductory AI training at work.
Not back to back so unfortunately it wasn’t a joke.
Why even have a human at that point? We shouldn’t even have conversations with each other anymore. Let’s just hold up our phones and let them do the talking.
Do Not Talk. Do Not Think. Simply Consume.
ITT neurotypicals take one step closer lmao
Just send the bullet point
“Guess this person doesn’t want to put the effort in to getting this job. Rejected.”
i have been known to send emails like
hello jeff,
yes.
best regards,
grass company title, etc.
I sent a department wide email announcing a new release on an internal piece of software my team maintains, it was very concise, almost like a telegram, it was something like:
To everyone at this department:
Internal Software version 6 has been released.
Added support for ABC feature and fixed the issue with XYZ.
Full details in this link.
Kinds regards, me.
Shortly after I got a very verbose response by someone explaining me why should I use AI to write “better” emails, by better it meant longer and verbose. I replied with this comic
Most of my emails are “Set up” and some login info that I shouldn’t send over email but I was told to send over email.
Try ChatGPT. Expand on the answer. Expand on the answer. Expand on the answer. Simply the answer. Simplify the answer. Simplify the answer.
Congratulations, you are an alchemist because what you started with is clearly not what you ended up with - It must be transmution.
Alchemy isn’t real. What you just described can be adequately explained by Hawking Radiation.
