<p>It's "optimizing things to prove you are smrt" (yes that was deliberate). Playing a complicated game only proves you are wasting your time. For half that effort you can learn something helpful</p>

<p>Because reading nonsense inside an infinite debatable context is fun. I know what you're talking about and frankly I'm not impressed.<p>You know why people like these chat systems? Because it straight up saves time. When a system is made it to indexable, "context dependent", and "creating a certain experience" it just begs to be summarized and made to be something you can use. That interpretable work is.... Pointlessly difficult.<p>A good example: discord. A vast number of communities are designed to be "experiences" where you have to pour hours of your time to adapt to their little fiefdoms if you wanted to obtain any useful information in the form of important information on a topic. Try doing this in any serious fashion and you will quickly be wasting more of your time than you want.<p>Yeah so maybe chatgpt gives you the occasional incorrect fact. I haven't had that happen in any way, shape, or form. Furthermore: just be critical of your information. Not hard, and they are already working on fixing that.<p>Especially for people that are bonafide adults time is worth more than "the pride of human work".</p>
