I used to write English text for a friend of mine. He has a music studio, and small record label. And whenever he needed liner notes, website content, press releases and so on, I would help him write it, as his English isn't great.
He just launched a new website for the company. The text is written by ChatGPT. Like, all of it. And I don't think anyone will notice.
I mean, I understand. It's convenient. It's free (I never charged him money anyways).
But I can't help but feeling a tiny bit hurt and sad for being unceremoniously replaced by a chat bot. It was an activity I did with my friend, that apparently isn't a thing anymore :)
- yep a client did the same. i tried to get them to use a copywriter, they said "no, we've run our copy through chatgpt and we're fine with it."hans_glib
- most of it was generically ok, tho in places it degenerated into nonsense, so i had to clean it up as best i could for them (not being a writer....)hans_glib
- I gotta say, CGPT did a pretty great job on his site. Sadly :)jagara
- This is the thing about AI, it's taken what we once believed was our sacred flame. And I welcome it for it.palimpsest
- Why do you welcome that?jagara
- Because it can give us insight into how our brains work by taking away the layer of mysticism. It can only help us move forward.palimpsest
- I see your point. I guess I'm sad that I feel replaced and unneeded by a friend.jagara
- Communication patterns are by no means a sacred flame. English by default is an inelegant amalgamation of borrowed phrases through centuries of reductionjonny_quest_lives
- The only thing generative ai has taught me so far is people A) don't want to pay for shit. B) want to sell shit that costs nothing to make . C) A trumps Bjonny_quest_lives
- What language isn't an amalgamation of borrowed phrases through centuries of reduction? North Sentinelese?jagara
- I wasn't the one comparing human communication to a sacred flame...jonny_quest_lives
- Not sure the og poster even believes that... but an LLM fed 5 terabytes of training data won't suddenly spark consciousness.jonny_quest_lives

i want to create a browser plugin for chrome that replaces the default youtube player with an iframe
the iframe uses the youtube url for example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v... to create an embeded youtube player with the following code
<here i inserted the standard youtube embed code for the above video>
the id of the element we want to replace is "player"
the dimensions of the iframe should be the same as the element it replaces

You can actually use GPT4 for free via the Microsoft Copilot app or web.
