Low Quality Facts

I wanted to see if ChatGPT could put me out of the job, so I asked it to write a funny fake fact. To my surprise, it literally just plagiarized one of my own facts. Nearly word for word. I'd say my position remains safe for now.

@lowqualityfacts you have the lowest-quality facts and always will!

wendinaokland

@matt @lowqualityfacts that 2nd one, though, 😂 “I’m sorry to hear that” effing lolz

@matt @lowqualityfacts There hasn't been a Queen (or King) of England since May 1st 1707.

arceuthobium

@ecadre @matt @lowqualityfacts and it’s not too late to abolish the monarchy prior to Scottish independence.

@matt @lowqualityfacts
It failed on both the 'making it funnier' and the 'not knowing the queen died' requirements with that second fact.

@beecycling you're assuming that she's actually dead; the AI knows she's just returned to her home planet for Rejuvination

@lowqualityfacts not surprised in the least — the whole thing is just designed to imitate

@lowqualityfacts ChatGPT is a plagiarism machine. It's taking other people's original word and presenting it as its own. This is highly unethical on the part of the creators.

Dave MacFarlane

ChatGPT was trained by @lowqualityfacts data. It all makes so much sense now.

@lowqualityfacts Actually, many penguins go to therapy about their phobia. Now they say that they don't fly because they don't want to and you can not make them.

@lowqualityfacts I bet ChatGPT was trolling you? (is that the right word? I'm old)

@lowqualityfacts First it stole an already-made-up fake fact, and then it gave a true fact as a fake one.

@lowqualityfacts You're still the one for high quality low quality facts

Resting Facebitch

@lowqualityfacts I've used it to help me with copy in my day job... either it's way off the mark or it's generic buggery bollocky nonsense pieced together from general advice.

Steffen Christensen

@lowqualityfacts It knows a ton about language, but is not really inventive at a structural way above the single word level.
For that, you need people.

@lowqualityfacts I'm sure someone else has already said this, but bananas ARE berries, so ChatGPT can't get the assignment right at all.

@lowqualityfacts you are creative so you're safe. i could name some twitter accounts that just make "jokes" that make their audience feel comfortable that will be wiped out in the first chatgpt wars

@lowqualityfacts I read that recently a news outlet had to apologise for like half of the articles they'd published that had been written by AI being copied verbatim from elsewhere

notsoloud

@lowqualityfacts
You just posted a high quality fact 😮

Wiggle your ears if you need help.

Ryan Campbell

@lowqualityfacts It took me longer than I'm proud of to get what your account was about

Kazii The Avali

@lowqualityfacts it shouldent be a surprise. all the info was scraped from the web. neither it or its owner knows who made it nor cares. nor does it actually care about quality since it was scraped. chat gpt wolnt replace anyones jobs as its just spitting out what it collected and any jobs it does replace will be opened again or will pull the buisness down or a few debuggers will be added on.

@lowqualityfacts I thought penguins were never given the gift of flight because they're the only thing that can kill god and he fears them.

ITR

@lowqualityfacts Huh, I'm confused, was this post a joke? Since I can't find you having posted the joke any earlier than 5 days ago, and it's as an image?

Low Quality Facts

@ITR I've posted it on other social media platforms multiple times before!

ITR

@lowqualityfacts Weird, I can't find it written that way on google or yandex or yahoo, but I can find people referencing such a joke or making the joke themselves.

Amazing coincidence that it decided to write it that way to you though, or maybe not, when I tried the same prompt the first result was "Penguins can fly, but only in their dreams.". And the 8th reroll was "Penguins can fly, but only when nobody is looking."

Manpageman

@lowqualityfacts this is literally what chat GPT is designed to do.

@lowqualityfacts "Plagiarized" - not really. I doubt your content was part of its training data. Different people can come up with similar phrases. In this case, a machine could too. It doesnt meant its plagiarism.

mau

@Nadinabbott @lowqualityfacts ChatGPT is just a tool. Its people that are the problem.

Its not even a unique one, just the most famous. Theres many different versions of this tool out in the world already. The cats out of the bag.

Evan Engel 🎱

@lowqualityfacts Did you ever tweet the actual text of the image? Or does Chat GPT "read" images using OCR?

ʇᴉɯᴉl ɐɯǝɥɔs®

@lowqualityfacts this fact feels lighter than other, similar facts. not weighing, just holding both in my hands, so ymmv lmao

@lowqualityfacts You've got a secret admirer in ChatGPT.

Gussy

@lowqualityfacts when I studied "body systems" ( anatomy) I was quite blown away when the teacher explained that penguins actually do fly - they just do it underwater

Elio Campitelli

@lowqualityfacts I got something similar after a few tries. Although I also got this, which is quite funny in an absurd way.

"The average person spends 6 months of their lifetime waiting for a red light to turn green, but only 3 seconds wondering why they were named after a fruit."

Elio Campitelli

@lowqualityfacts More plagiarised content:

"A group of flamingos is called a flamingle."

Plagiarism is the sincerest

@lowqualityfacts 😨

To demonstrate the problem of these AIs stealing open source, licensed code, I asked it to write some code to do X. The code it produced wasn't line-for-line an exact copy, but it absolutely did steal the methodology from beginning to end from my open source library.

Which legally requires attribution.
Which of course it did not comply with.

@lowqualityfacts
You need a second account: Low Quality GPT... although it would be difficult to be lower quality than the 'original.'

… except that chatGPT doesn’t expect to be paid for it. 🫤

@lowqualityfacts But bananas are actually berries and strawberries are not. That's a TF not a LQF 😆
