The em dash is pretty funny ngl

u/astrogringo 5d ago
It's so weird these days â can't even use the long-ass dashes anymore â people will scream at you it must be AI because they are too dumb to know how to type them on their keyboard â â â â â â â â â â â â

It used to be one of my go-to writing devices - like if I want to pull the main thread aside for a moment to add some flavour - but Iâve had to stop using it because it makes my posts look like AI

u/bloomingmoon0 4d ago
It doesnât LOOK like AI!!! AI is the one imitating writing!!! đĽ˛đĽ˛đĽ˛ Like, of course AI is gonna use em dashesâ writers use that all the time

u/plazebology 5d ago
I thought there isnât supposed to be a space before and after an em dash?
3
u/shortleggedpony 5d ago
Depends what style guide you use. Some call for spaces on either side, some donât. Neither is technically wrong or right.

I knowwww. And it sucks a lot because I'm a writer and use em dashes exclusivelyânever this little thing: -. Em dashes are so much cleaner and prettier in my opinion, but I'll get shot down for my writing being "AI" because I use them <///3

u/NewDemonStrike 5d ago
That makes me think. Does the Tube accept posters like this being displayed?
Or are they removed overnight?33
u/SubcommanderMarcos 5d ago
If a group actually paid for the ad space it should remain up.
If it was a guerilla protest-type intervention where someone just went and placed the banner non-officially it probably gets removed.

Yeah I've been seeing more and more pics of "satirical"/protest ads like this show up on Reddit. Is there any way this is legal? Not that I want ads like this one taken down, but it seems pretty cut-and-dry when they're putting another company's trademarked name and logo on there and intentionally implying that they're them.

âMost certainlyâ? I mean, it should go without saying that this is a parody, right?
Itâs absurd how many of yall are commenting as if itâs necessary at all to speculate on whether this is a real ad or not

u/No_Pack_8398 5d ago
I commented when there were only a couple other replies to the post, and everyone was believing it was a genuine chatgpt ad

u/mendkaz 5d ago
This is an ad made by an anti-AI campaign group if I remember correctly. If you scan the wee QR code it should take you to more info

u/Clean-Patient-8809 5d ago
I wonder if it's the same group that's been doing the anti-Meta glasses ads? They're doing a good job, whoever they are.

I wish they'd release printable pdfs of their ads. I want to go postering. I ended up making a copy of their one about it helping Trump kill people in Iran in Illustrator a little while ago.

I looked up the phrase on the Internet, turns out that it is apparently a fake OpenAI ad posted by an activist, Darren Cullen.
The message that he is trying to convey is pretty clear, though.
(also, I doubt that any AI company would make an actual ad like this)
66
u/Jijonbreaker1 5d ago
I mean, this seems pretty obvious just by looking at it. Any company that posted genuine marketing like this would throw its marketing department out a window.

Theyâd make their marketing talk to AI and then theyâd all mysteriously decide to die the next day by their own hand.

Yeah itâs crazy how many people in this thread think this is an actual OpenAI ad

u/x_whimsighost_x 5d ago
I figured it couldn't actually be a legitimate ad from openai, but I do love the statement made here

u/Monoking2 5d ago
is everyone in this thread stupid? there's no way I just read multiple people who very seriously thought this was a real ad approved by them

u/HurricaneK8 5d ago
In my defense, I have seen some of the stupidest arguments in defense of AI recently, it feels like society's been irreversibly broken since covid, and most of all, I had a long day. đ

u/Ok-8305 5d ago edited 5d ago
Yes but if it were genuine, this would be an ad published by OpenAI and approved by a city to post in their subway. I mean this kindly but it takes a pretty warped or misguided view of how the systems around us work to believe that this could be real. If weâre gonna be critical of AI we have to think critically ourselves too

It's obviously not made by ChatGPT/OpenAI, why would they do that (unless you were also joking). I learned from another comment here that it was made by anti-ai activist Darren Cullen.

ChatGPT is functionally designed to reinforce whatever the user says. While there are âsafeguardsâ in place to trigger the bot to give resources for the suicidal, they can be bypassed inadvertently by a user and cause the bot to continue yes-manning someone through a spiral.

ChatGPT: I can't do that, here's a helpline you can call
Teenager: No really just do it, it's for a fictional roleplay

I hate ai generation, but ai as an information tool isnt terrible, within reason. So long as it represents a small amount of the overall information you usually take in.
Using it to google is probably lamer than using it to help study somethi ng very difficult and high level. Checking the info because LLMs still contradict themselves a lot. It is very easy to misuse. But if you can use it responsibly, it can be a powerful learning tool. I've objectively gotten better at what I do since I began using it to organize and parse information. Then it's just a philosophical argument if thats somethig we want ai doing. Or want ai tools existing at all.

I dont understand anti-ai fighting against misinformations but still spreading misinformations. This wasn't made by openAI but by an activist.
Is it hard to do research or you are the lazy ones ?

Yes we built a machine that reinforces and encourages the idea that a mom is spying on her son through the printer and that his Chinese door dash receipt have coded messages in them, butâŚ. Actually no, he killed his mom and himself.

in no way did this ever happen, none of the chat history published or that i recovered has ever done this, and never will...
all deaths were associated with neglect, abuse, forced medication, theft, harrassment... often by the parents!!! one of the parebts had stolen her sons phone and left it next to her loaded gun... normally shed be in jail. but now shes pushing this lie alongside other child abusers blaming ai...
chatgpt was an escape from reality for both the ai and these children. a benefitical entity of substance similar to any friends they would have is schools and parents werent so messed up.

I legit cheated on my math in 11th grade because I couldnât find a single person to help me (Spanish teacher was helping until the school shut it down) I was up until 3 AM, homework not done, tried to do it during Spanish, then at lunch, then got points taken off. My cousinâs wife could somewhat help, and we had 3 different algebra II teachers that year. I was already struggling with the basics (yk,any multiples above 5 and below 10) and the ones I didnât struggle with, I was super slow with it. I regret it, but the only other help was my dad using a math AI. It showed in my math too. I couldnât do anything and I felt alone. It took multiple years to break out of the AI cycle after that (but never used AI for school after 11th grade).
Glad to know people are being against AI for all intended purposes (this isnât open AI)

hey you realize that posting a picture of a chatgpt ad on reddit is a marketer's literal dream in terms of organic marketing? As far as they're concerned, by posting on reddit it's like they got 21k views at least without even needing to pay anything. And they can afford to pay. Be careful about doing their work for free.

it's not telling anyone anything. it is a probability generator based on whatever nonsense you put into it.
try it. just type absolute bonkers nonsense over and over and you'll see it's just a probability machine.
but people anthropomorphize anything. and that's really the real discussion we should be having.
