Allowing assholes to completely clone other human beings and misrepresent their content as content created by the target is reprehensible. A tiny unclear note that 'This is AI slop' does not resolve the problem. If it's AI Slop, that should be RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE THUMBNAIL used to gain clicks. Everyone involved is an asshole:
  * If you have something to say - say it - YOURSELF.

How backward of them. Here in the free west, the people are so disillusioned that no amount of ability to organise, readily available guns, evidence of government malfeasance can make a dent in their desire to do nothing at all.

I mean, here in the free west - our democratically elected leaders have more respect for their citizens. Ahem.

Continuum:
Back in the day: Hunt your own food, kill it, cook it, eat it.

dot dot dot.

Today in fat-ass-world: Someone else hunts for your food, kills it, vacuum packs / freezes it / delivers it to a local hub where yet another someone else cooks it and yet a third guy collects it for you and drops it off.

Presumably the next step is someone else eats it for you then delivers their poop to you for you to deposit in your toilet (or maybe for an extra charge they'll pop it in there for you) ?

The company makes sure to note that ChatGPT Health is "not intended for diagnosis or treatment."

The company is encouraging users to connect their personal medical records and wellness apps, such as Apple Health, Peloton, MyFitnessPal,Weight Watchers, and Function, "to get more personalized, grounded responses to their questions."

...personalized, grounded responses to their questions... So, diagnoses?

You've got to feel a degree of pity for people who have apparently had their reason destroyed by their greed - perhaps their own bot could give a personalised grounded response on that topic.

Thanks for the wall of text. I recall that the topic was...

*checks*

How income inequality is just fine for those on the wrong side of it.

The topic isn't:

How economies work - yes, people like to do different things - for example you seem to have particular expertise in the straw-man responses - I'm happy to discuss something completely different to the topic :-)

OK; let's say your boss was happily making security apps for let's say 1000x what you earn then he thinks - I know, I'll get someone else to do my job, pay them 0.1% and pocket (in one of my extremely large, ever-expanding portfolio of pockets) the rest. Would that be reasonable? (*) and if not, why not - discuss....

(*) Ironically that probably is what's happening in your scenario / the scenario of every employed person. If you were being paid what was 'fair' (another discussion), you wouldn't be employed as it would not be worth it to your employer.

However, 1000x is probably *nowhere near* the disparity actually in play in income inequality - is it?
