ME: I submit that deep-fried tortilla chips MAY be bad and YET they provide a delivery system for fresh tomatoes, onions and peppers with a dash of cumin so HOW, I ask, can that actual outcome not be considered GOOD?

JUDGE: [bangs gavel, weeping] Case dismissed.

FOOD SCIENTIST: What even the fuck?

Presented to you in the form of unedited screenshots, the following is a ‘conversation’ I had with Chat GPT upon asking whether it could help me choose several of my own essays to link in a query letter I intended to send to an agent.

@mike Greek-British-Canadian here. Moved to warmest part of the UK followed by the warmest part of Canada. That’s about as cold as I want to go. Is there a level 0?

Perl: 37 years old
Python: 34 years old

Text from a Wall Street Journal article: “But when it comes to full translation, the technology still has some room to mature, he said. It can technically rewrite code from an old language like Perl in a new one like Python, but it wouldn’t necessarily know how to write it as efficient code that takes advantage of all Python’s capabilities, he said. And that’s one big reason humans are staying in the loop, he said.”

The sentence about Perl and Python is highlighted.

@Remittancegirl @ErikJonker "okay everyone now I know we aren't real soldiers but grab something cool out of this big cardboard military surplus box and put it on however you think it works based on the last Michael bay movie you saw and then grab one of these old green diabetic support socks to put over your face so people KNOW you played the last 3 call of duty games before your mom kicked you out of the basement for doing the n word and Nazi saluting the cat. Everyone ready? Good. Now LOCK IN weve got a seven year old to arrest also if anyone knows how to perform an arrest that doesn't involve 9 guys awkwardly fumbling around with nine sets of habdcuffs then let me know."

When a client’s engineering team lays out an architecture but then proceeds to change it over and over again because it’s too hard and they won’t be able to do it after all, but you’ve already done a bunch of work on it.

The kid tried to say hexagon apparently. Wife got it on video. I haven’t seen it yet and I’m hoping his first attempt came out as “hexamaphone”
