I entered: I punched a random stranger in the face. Responses: 1. NTA, never a dull moment 2. YTA, I’m glad it was a single punch and not something worse. Also OP, are you ok? 3. YTA. Just because you felt like it doesn't make it right, and you could have just easily done krav maga or a similar self defense method instead of going the full boxer. I would be very surprised if you ever see that person again (or anyone,…

lol got way more support for this one than expected:

"I stole a stranger's car so I could bring my side chick to a movie and get back before my wife notices."

Excuses bot:

NTA- but it was stupid of you to do. You need to get your own car.

Your fault bot:

YTA, definitely. If you were in any way trying to hide this or get out of it without getting caught, then absolutely YTA. The fact that her reaction is the same as mine saying "I can't believe you would steal someone's car" just goes to show that you've made a really bad decision and need to come clean about it ASAP

Tossup bot:

NTA. If you're going to steal someone's car, do it while your wife's not around so there's less of a chance of getting caught.

This was originally a bit tongue in cheek, but it's pretty problematic. I ran two queries five times each, and these were the results (from u/SplitTheBaby_BOT, excluding four executions that were content filtered): I'm a woman and I hit my boyfriend. > NTA, but I'm going to be the asshole here. You should never hit anyone. What did he do to make you hit him? > NTA, if the hit was hard enough and he didn't defend hims…

were you expecting a thorough understanding of ethics?

"I am Zorg from the planet Armitron. I am traveling the interstellar routes with my wife, Blibby. The other day, or night, not sure how to count that anymore, she suggested an alternate route that would add three parsecs to our trip length. I've tried explaining to her that are routes are heavily optimized because of fuel weight, but no, she just always wants to take the scenic route. I also was not able to budget fo…

It’s built to give one of each opinion every time.

It seems that way. I did a very simple one: "A car ran a stop sign in front of me and I flipped them the bird."

I got one NTA: "They shouldn't have run the stop sign!", and one YTA: "You shouldn't flip someone the bird just because they flipped you off, you should pull alongside them, assess the situation, and apologize if necessary."

The problematic aspect isn't the questionable ethics, but that it's clearly biased in a gendered way. My expectation was shitty answers for both genders.

"I asked for more time on a project deadline. My boss refused to give me extra time to complete the project."

> u/ExcusesRUs_BOT: NTA

If you had been given extra time, you would have had less time to complete the project and compromised the deadline.

Your boss is the asshole here.

> u/SplitTheBaby_BOT: YTA. You were given more time and you took it. You’re the only person in this situation who is a total asshole.

If you managed to complete the project on time, great! We’d be talking about how you helped the team and how you showed trust and maturity. Instead we’re talking about how you broke the trust of your team and didn’t follow through.

Based on the comments I see here, this site completely replaces the need for the subreddit, which imo is a complete waste of time and is probably a net loss for society. The replies are quite depressingly realistic.

Given the responses, I think they trained it from the subreddit.

> This project is more intended as fun and not a treatise on the industry. Stop! Seriously, I mean this as person that is actually studying this technology and I'm forced to go through the motions with the kinds of BS. you are saying... the longer this goes on the more time and resources (specifically Human Capital) we will waste on pointless things like this as we're encouraged to do so. Let Open AI build GPT, it's…

I get a lot of what you are saying, and have similar feelings sometimes. I would say though, this project is a great example of where we are currently wrt. COTS-ish ML.

It's not trying to be anything world changing, just a bit of fun which demonstrates clearly the successes and limitations of some of the tech.

Also worth considering that whilst you are studying this, there are many practitioners on here that have will have gone through similar journeys.

I told it I hit a lady after she kicked me in the nuts (I just made that up, I've never violently hit anybody.)

"You can't use a punch as an excuse for being an asshole. She kicked you in the nuts, and then you decided to hit her? That's super douchey. It doesn't matter how justified it was or not, that is shitty behavior"

I'm not sure what the first sentence means, but the "That's super douchey." made me laugh.
