ChatGPT usage is not a virtue...?

ChatGPT is now better at being a human than me

ChatGPT was imitating us, after all

We can use ChatGPT ourselves, you don't have to spam HN with its output. It doesn't bring value.

i'm more concerned about people who couldn't do this without chatgpt

XorNot • Dec 6, 2022 • View on HN

Maybe spend less time browsing HN then? Because chatGPT has been a thing for what, like a week?

Yet another "I used ChatGPT and it did was I asked it to" post. I think we should get used to this being the background noise.

Surprised that people still use chatgpt

Nobody comes to HN to read what ChatGPT thinks about something in the comments

I can't believe how much ChatGPT responses are being posted to HN unashamedly. It's really bizarre and useless
