Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

chatgpt is good for helping creative processes. i used it earlier today to come up with some name combos that had symbolic meaning, cos im shit at that sorta thing, and it was useful even if i had to do further research to get what i actually wanted
it is not good at replacing the work of actual people, and has made a lot of things on the internet unusable
it also can churn out genuinely harmful conspiracy nonsense and misinformation if you prompt it right, it starts the message with "oh no that's sooo bad and problematic don't do that but here you go:" then gives you 5 paragraphs.which uh. is a bit reckless, at the very least.
I asked GPT to give me some ideas for a character background in DnD, I got this:
lol
yea that's why it's a helpful starting point and can't do whole processes by itself. it's fucking stupid a lot of the time
