True, but the principle behind the post is the beauty here. When not using the API, it costs these companies an unsustainable amount of money to make their models listen to fart sounds. I don’t use any AI myself, but I support anyone who wants to abuse the flat monthly subscription to make a company burn through money so that a plagiarism model can praise fart sounds.

Someone recorded a voice chat to show that it says this stuff when listening.

Sharing what I eat would give away my identity to anyone who knows me in real life and happens to read my comment, sorry.

I’ve literally made the same exact meal for breakfast and dinner every single day for the last four years straight. Lunch changed because of an external factor, but I’ve had the same meal for lunch every day for about six months now. The meme isn’t referring to making your favorite meal, it’s referring to making the only thing you eat for that meal, ever.

Things appear to have changed; thanks for drawing my attention to that. I may start editing some articles in my broader area.

I can’t without doxxing myself more than I’d like. It wasn’t an article about himself, nor his research. This was about 10 years ago, so the rules may have changed. I’ll take a look and edit my post accordingly if so.

A problem with Wikipedia is that experts are not allowed to contribute to their areas of expertise because they’re “biased” (see edit below). I know a professor at a top university who used to spend his free time editing Wikipedia outside of his specific area but in his broad area of expertise as a method of disseminating science knowledge to the public. When the higher-up Wikipedia editors found out who he was, they banned his account and IP from editing.

Having the lay public write articles works when expertise isn’t required to understand something, but much of Wikipedia around science is slightly inaccurate at best. (This is still true, probably owing to the neutral point of view rule [giving weight to fringe ideas as a result] or the secondary source prioritization over primary sources.)

Edit: current Wikipedia editing rules and guidelines would not support this ban, so things appear to have changed. Wikipedia still recommends against primary sources as authoritative sources of information (recommending secondary sources instead), which is not great. But, they explicitly now welcome subject matter experts as editors.
