You express a lot of faux-righteous indignation and insult when anyone questions your use of AI word-generators, for some reason.
Not sure what the actual trigger was here: it appears you made a long AI post to make a short point, but then edited it down (3 edits) to three sentences.
And apparently those three sentences express everything that was relevant. Which is why it got a like from me.
To skip past all the AI posturing and moralizing, just consider that ChatGPT-style tools will never accomplish more than summarizing what has already been said, in different words and format. It provides nothing new and no new insights.
If a summary/recap is what is needed, for example of a long debate attempting to cover multiple aspects of an issue, then it can be a great tool. However you’ve used it to summarize, for instance, a thread that was something like 10 posts long with only a few points made.
I get that you’re exploring a new toy and amusing yourself, which is fine. However “wall of text” posts generally receive pushback regardless of how they’re generated. AI is a tool like spreadsheets, sure, but if I ask a store clerk “how much does this cost?”, it’s rather pointless for him to bring me out a stack of spreadsheets to review.
If you’re going to be honest about “hey you don’t like my posts just scroll past them”, then start flagging them at the top with “AI; DR”. But since if you’re making posts, you either want people to read them, or want them to approve of your posts, you should note how few likes your (or any other posters’) AI summaries get.
Apparently people don’t find the text version of spreadsheets any more interesting than the numeric ones. A tool is only as good as the use you put it to.
You’re reacting someone who’s very obviously baiting and trolling. It’s also very obvious it’s just yet another character from someone who was here before but their character (finally) got spat out and it’s probably not been the first time either.
Oooh…I like this. I mean why bother thinking up a response to that when ChatGPT can do one for me…
Using ChatGPT on the EVE Online forums can be helpful in certain contexts, but it should be done thoughtfully and with transparency. Here’s a breakdown:
Pros of Using ChatGPT:
Drafting Posts or Replies: It can help players articulate thoughts clearly, especially for feedback, bug reports, or lore discussions.
Explaining Concepts: Useful for summarizing complex game mechanics or providing guides for new players.
Idea Brainstorming: Can help propose features or balance changes in a structured way.
Cons or Considerations:
Authenticity: Posts generated solely by AI may feel impersonal or out of touch with the player-driven culture of EVE.
Forum Rules: Some communities (including game forums) may have guidelines or cultural norms against AI-generated content, especially if not disclosed.
Accuracy: ChatGPT’s knowledge of EVE Online might be outdated or incomplete. It can make confident-sounding errors about ships, mechanics, or lore.
Best Practices:
Use it as a writing assistant, not a substitute for experience.
Double-check in-game facts.
Be transparent if you’re using it to help write something.
Inject your own experiences and personality—EVE players value that.
Would you like help crafting a specific post for the EVE forums?
Why write a forum post/anything yourself when you can write it with LLM (chatgpt/whatever)?
It’s the same as asking: why learn to walk when you can roll around in a wheelchair? Why learn a foreign language when you can just have google/whatever translate everything for you?
You do it because it’s a useful skill and because it develops you as a human being. Walking is more exhilarating and gives you more freedom than have someone/something else carry you. In this case, writing a post yourself is better, regardless of quality of expression or grammar, because it’s a useful skill of communicating with other people. Writing a bunch of prompts for something else to do the work is not communication. Which this forum is about. (Also – no wonder a lot young people these days don’t know how to communicate with other people).
Using chatgpt/etc is a regression of human abilities. That’s why it’s so objectionable. It’s not a tool, it’s a handicap. One willfully opted into no less.
Yes. She’s located in a work of fiction called Terminator and several of its sequels. I’m sure that CharGPT would be able to access that information if it has access to pop culture references.
If not ChatGPT, then one or more of the other AIs out there in the world would.
Also, I think EVE and the forum need more young ones. Most of young players from 17 to 25 can’t stay for a month. (I had never seen a player younger than 17) EVE is a hard game, but I believe there will be young players who can stay for years.
Longtime eve players who stays have real life professional careers (legal or illegal, who knows) businesses and many are also retired. Ex. Youtuber Aceface is a Medical Doctor, Delonewolf works in a financial company. Markeedragon is a Entreprenuer, The Mittani is a Corporate Lawyer. Aiko Danuja, I don’t know. Maybe His a Pastor who likes the verse james3:15.
Some people say I’m a housewife. Others think I’m a schoolmarm. More than one has concluded that I am design lead for Raytheon’s AGM-181, which will be the principal standoff payload for the glorious B-21 Stratoganker. I personally believe that I am the epicenter of your universe. How does that feel?
