Usually, I use Chatgpt to craft my comments responding about how to tell if something is ai on substack, we call it comment vomit or vomment for short. That is all noisy notes deserve. Your snark got mirrored very flatteringly back at you, so's your old man.
I have interviewed Chatgpt and popped it up on substack, I even grabbed grok, deepseek and Gemini and had them collaborate, I do not mind being puerile in public. It balances my trauma shocked autistic death stares.
Thanks, glad you like it. Go on, give it a go, have some fun with it. One of my readers even commented that I should try it while drunk, but that could turn dark and disastrous quickly.
I’ve also been a long-time em dash user, but I’ve always used gaps on either side of the dash, which I guess is different from how GPT does it. I like having those spaces, it gives the dash a bit of breathing space.
It is crazy how similar they are yet at the same time, predictable I guess. Mine had a bad habit of overusing 'glorified' and after a while the staccato rhythm of the responses gets to be very tiring. A couple of people have asked me if I've 'trained' my ChatGPT to be snarky and insulting. I hardly use it, but when I do, I tend to be rude but in a playful way, like 'seriously? that's the best you can suggest, you nincompoop?' Not sure what this says about me...
This is brilliant and I can't tell if you wrote both parts or not. If you didn't, then, you've clearly trained your ChatGPT to be rude, and I must say, I kind of like that.
Thank you, and I only wrote my side of it…well, almost. I should’ve added a small disclaimer - the only parts I ‘tampered’ with in ChatGPT’s response was it calling me a dipshit and that final ‘huh’? comment. Otherwise, it was all legit.
I barely use ChatGPT but the times I have, I’ve been fairly abrasive and insulted it, saying things like ‘thanks for nothing, that’s useless you nincompoop,’ so I guess it has been trained and now speaks to me with total disrespect.
Absolute genius! 😅😅😅 I have a new found affection for ChatGPT now. I've been thinking a lot about Her (the film) lately and wondering if anyone has fallen in love with ChatGPT yet. Not sure where this conversation would be placed on that spectrum!
I keep meaning to re-watch Her. I was distracted while it was on and I don’t think I even finished it. I remember at the time thinking ‘I hope we never get to this point.’
I suppose I can share this here, no one will probably read it (haha, yeah right) but my ex (we cohabit) has formed a rather interesting ‘relationship’ with ChatGPT to get over her recent traumatic breakup. She’s been using it as her therapist and she says it’s great, really helping her. Who am I to quibble, right? (because I’m clearly useless!)
Glad you enjoyed the chat. I’m not sure I have the same warm feelings for our new friend though…
It’s mad about Her (film, not your ex hehehe), how it felt so fantastical at the time and then now look where we are…
I watched a video of one of the followers of that toxic influencer type I wrote about a while back and he was talking about how he and Chat were really connecting and generally talking about it like: 😍 Probably in a year people will read your post and not know it is a parody… argh, I’m falling into an existential crisis!
Hilarious , I had to really think long and hard if this really is gpt chat or you messing with our heads 😉
It’s hard to tell with me these days 😝

Haha. Love this, Daniel! I kinda want to try it now. Great and informative interview. I’m an em dash user though! I was before GPT! :-p

Wait I’m dying at how similar ours are (they both said touché…..) and also that we both had this idea at the same time. GREAT MINDS

Frost/Nixon for the digital age.
This might be the highest praise I’ve ever received for a post. That’s some lofty company!
Great premise. I don’t trust the self deprecation. The whole “glorified calculator” bit feels like false modesty.
Yeah, I was probably too effusive in my praise, especially when it used ‘glorified’ multiple times, I should’ve called it out on that.
Holy shit this is hilariously frightening.
Haha, thanks. I definitely won't be sleeping easier after this conversation.
"Right, let's wrap this sucker up, you dipshit"... 😂🤣😂🤣 This line is Pulitzer worthy 😅
This is absolutely brilliant and the first time I've read something where I can really appreciate the use of AI 👍
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I shall submit to the Pulitzer Prize committee. If I win, I’m inviting you along as my guest for the awards ceremony 😉
I think it’ll be quite some time before I can really appreciate AI. I still consider it the enemy.
I look forward to it 😉
So do I, that's why I love this humorous approach.
Hilarious! Now try it drunk.
Haha, I’m terrified of what I might say to it.
