Chat GPT is great at arguing because it actually hears what the other cares about, and crafts a message accordingly. Humans would be well served to similarly engage with the person they're talking to when arguing and persuading, rather than talking past and scolding.

There’s been a technology problem at work that people have been talking about fixing for the better part of a decade. Many have tried; all have failed. Pursuit of this white whale has been a passion project of mine. With no funding or leadership buy in, a resolution finally went to prod today.

I mostly post into the void on here because few people I know are on this platform. I mostly posted into the void on Meta platforms because the algorithm didn’t show me to the people I know. One is easier to stomach than the other.
