"You're gonna test this, right?"

AI slop comes to genetic coding. 

I feel like this might be the right time to retreat to a cave in the woods and wait for the end to come for us all.

    Ahh, The "revenue replacement" schemes have started to manifest themselves.

    Since you're not getting new buyers, just extract more money from your captive customer base.

    I'm sure that's going work out great. (Even though somebody probably got a big Christmas bonus for suggesting it.)

      Revealed: How the UK tech secretary uses ChatGPT for policy advice
      New Scientist has used freedom of information laws to obtain the ChatGPT records of Peter Kyle, the UK's technology secretary, in what is believed to be a world-first use of such legislation
      From https://www.newscientist.com/article/2472068-revealed-how-the-uk-tech-secretary-uses-chatgpt-for-policy-advice/
      These records show that Kyle asked ChatGPT to explain why the UK’s small and medium business (SMB) community has been so slow to adopt AI. ChatGPT returned a 10-point list of problems hindering adoption, including sections on “Limited Awareness and Understanding”, “Regulatory and Ethical Concerns” and “Lack of Government or Institutional Support”.
      Apparently it didn't say "because it's unhelpful and probably harmful to most SMB problems" or "what on earth are you doing asking a computer this you fool?".
