You're painting this as some sort of hypocrisy but I don't think that's the case. AI has infinite legitimate uses outside of creating slop. Lots of tools are used in the creation a…

When I have AI write things for me, I'm spending a good amount of time on it - certainly longer than it takes to read. I'm also usually editing it quite a bit. Maybe I'm an outlier…

Of course the process can be stopped. That's just a lack of imagination.

Those are bad analogies. And they shouldn't be in quotes because nobody said them. An LLM tutor is not a threat to anyone's safety or health.

Now, I don't think a person with chronic major depression or someone with schizophrenia is going to get what they need from ChatGPT, but those are extremes, when most people using …

I would go for a verb that matches what the user actually is doing, i.e. "Reset Password". Also, I think a panel with a red or yellow background coming up after a couple of unsucce…

Put something better. "Visit our site", "View Results", "Download File", "Next Page". Almost anything is better than "Click here". "Click here" is the result of laziness - think ab…

It's unfair because they didn't buy tickets the way normal people do. Lottery machines are supposed to be in regular places of business, like gas stations or grocery stores. Compan…

It's definitely influencing my home buying decision. In Philadelphia area, Delaware County property taxes are a significant amount higher than neighboring Montgomery county. I am l…

People know what "private" means. If a company calls something private, but it isn't, then they're the ones who need to reconsider what it means, and call their service something e…

"Lived experience" usually means first hand knowledge and experience, as opposed to the knowledge or information they would gain from external sources. So, understanding this meani…

I know right? It's just as logical to frame this as reduced pricing at off-peak times, but I guess that's not so sensational. Nevermind that many people would be happy to pay a lit…

I had history back to 2012 and accidentally deleted it a couple years ago and I was very saddened at the loss of all those years of data. Every now and then I would look and see wh…

People want to use it because its very easy to sign up and very easy to use. Even compared to Paypal, its much easier in my experience. And the vast majority of users don't have an…

Whether someone truly cares about an issue or whether they are pretending to care, if the outcome is the same then does it actually matter?

In my experience the scores are not usually that far apart ( In the instances that it is far apart, the differences are usually easy to articulate. Critics appreciate and notice te…

I've been using the website Movie Lens for over a decade and it works kind of like this, except you're not comparing to critics, it's just other users' average score

Deliberately ignoring experience and expertise because corruption is merely possible, is not the right way to go about making decisions.

Isn't this basically how rotten tomatoes works?

It seems to me like fans of LotR decided before it even came out that they didn't like it and have brigaded platforms with negative reviews. Maybe its not even a conscious effort. …

I tend to view the opposite. An individual is way easier to manipulate than an entire platform. Anybody who gets free products is immediately tainted. Project Farm says he pays for…

People like Rotten Tomatoes. It's a trusted source of information. If you know of widespread review manipulation then that IS news because it affects how people perceive the site a…

I always look at critic score like quality of the film (acting, editing, etc), and audience score as entertainment value. I look for films that have 80+ in one and 70+ in both.

We have more prestige TV coming out now than ever before. And of course the streaming platforms include the prestige TV of yesteryear as well. The value at current prices is simply…

What are you talking about? This whole thread is discussing how private enterprise is failing consumers. Meanwhile, countless examples exist of government-run entities and non-prof…
