@jcrabapple i knew #vim was always going to be the #nebuchadnezzar of the resistance against #skynet!

now i also know #emacs is already a part of the #matrix

@jcrabapple Took me forever to figure that one out. Is there anything vim can to that one of the other editors can't?

@jcrabapple proof enough that AI is not to be trusted.

@jcrabapple Glorious. Soon we all will be able to be even more stupid, wrongly entitled with even more confidence and faster.

Oh, brave new world!

@jcrabapple I wish people would quit comparing vim and emacs. One is a text editor. The other is an operating system that will destroy your pinkies.

I'm sorry to hear that you have opened vim.
There is currently no known way to exit vim once it has been opened. Exiting vim has been an ongoing area of research for the past decade by the world's top computer scientists.
Unfortunately, the only verifiable way to exit vim is to restart the machine on which it is running on.
To prevent a scenario like this from occurring again, many people have suggested to switch to a more robust editor such as Emacs.

@jcrabapple @thatandromeda Wow. I think one might extend this work and parlay it into an Ig Nobel — research that first makes you laugh, then makes you think. Why does ChatGPT fail on this question? What other similar questions does it fail on?

@emjonaitis @jcrabapple @thatandromeda Its just regurgitating an old type of joke it could find in a number of places online, and therefore in its training set. Exactly as you'd expect a language model to behave, in other words.

@takloufer @jcrabapple @thatandromeda Huh, I guess I underestimated the popularity of the joke? I would have thought that actual advice would vastly outnumber iterations of this sort of tired joke in the real world, but I haven’t seen the corpus!

Tak

@emjonaitis @jcrabapple @thatandromeda and that could still be the case ; all we know is that *someone* got an variant of the joke for that query. Perhaps thousands did get actual advice instead.

@jcrabapple I was wondering what would happen first. CGPT turning into a Nazi or getting between the fronts of the editor wars. I guess it's not microsoft enough (yet) for the former. 😁
