@lack Even so.

@Pat Again, I disagree. I subscribe to the idea that CWs are "content wrappers", or essentially subject lines, and can be for things that trigger folks or simply about subjects some people prefer to avoid. For example, I know some people put wordle results behind CWs, which is nice because idgaf about wordle.

@Pat Disagree on the CW. While I agree that everyone should participate in democracy, I don't think they should be compelled to be involved 100% of the time. There are times I like to shut off the politics for a while and get some peace. CWs are a good way to facilitate that.

@jeffjarvis It's amazing how journalism companies continue to endlessly squander money on obvious crap and then complain about falling profits.

@jerome As I said to him, that's useful for classroom assignments but not serious software engineering work. In the wild, nothing runs in isolation.

@TerribleMaps Oh come on. That's a shitpost, right? That can't be real. Even flat-earthers would laugh at that.

@samplereality Are teachers really not addressing this? That seems like a dereliction of duty. Back when I was in high school, Wikipedia was really taking off and all of our teachers warned us about using it for research because of the questionable accuracy of any mass edited information.

@greg No, I have explained what it is to you at least twice now, and you keep ignoring that to make your own assumptions.

At this point, I can only assume you're trolling me.

@greg Creating a function in a vacuum is not useful for any real-world programming outside of a classroom.

Also, please don't attempt to tell other people their intentions. It just makes you sound like an asshole.

I'm bound by professionalism, not pride. And it doesn't hold me back, it helps me excel.

I do experiment with these tools, but I won't haphazardly use them in production until their many issues have been resolved.

@greg Google and StackOverflow don't customize their answer to match my context.

If you're asking the conversational AI to work in a private code base, it will absolutely upload parts, if not all, of that codebase to customize the answers to match the codebase's style, format, and spec.

The minute you've enabled that plugin in your project, you're violating your clients' privacy.

@greg Then you might want to go back and review the terms of use for those services because they explicitly warn you about this!
