Was a real stunner when someone tried to use ChatGPT to dismiss a point I raised that an author had retracted one of his books when a primary source for it had been found to have forged her numbers, invalidating his entire work. Never had I seen such rubbish in a single paragraph before.
Or "that person who stands in front of others in fancy clothes begging for handouts and waving arms, in exchange for saltines and a shotglass of cooking wine
... he says you're wrong. I believe him more than your "degree." Because he told me to."
Yes, AND I'm running in too many directions to pause and do it properly. If you wouldn't mine typing it up for me, I'll Skeet it with the Text, Thanks!
Looking forward to someone breezily dismissing this as ‘appeal to authority’ 😆
Although a rather prominent academic attempted to do the same to me regarding my 15 year career in media relations vs his reading of some newspapers, so maybe some academics could try self reflection too
Thing is the internet has also exposed highly credentialed ppl who haven't thought critically about their field for decades, who can get owned by day one Google user
I’ve seen people just copy paste AI text as their arguments. I don’t understand why anyone would argue with a program, and why anyone thinks that you’re really debating someone by parroting what an LLM tells you.
