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.

My fact: Penguins can fly, but choose not to because they have a fear of heights.

What an "innovative" way to shift ownership from a creative human to the owner of a webscraper! What an age to live in!

@lowqualityfacts Why are we surprised? ChatGPT is a plagiarism machine. It scrapes the internet for appropriate material and regurgitates it. It's the Milton Berle of Apps.

How can I be sure be sure you're really a human sitting around, dreaming up low-quality facts? Maybe you're really a high-quality AI dreaming that you're coming up with them! Either way, it seems like reality is having a hard time deciding if it's out of order or just out of ideas

@lowqualityfacts

Just wondering. Have you ever put the facts in plain text, or only in alt-text?

@johntimaeus I belive just in alt text!

@lowqualityfacts Yeah - they have plagiarising down to a fine art, but no genuine imagination. Humans are still safe. For now.

@lowqualityfacts wait, how? Are they scraping the alt-text now, or training on text extracted from random internet images?

@lowqualityfacts Wait a minute, what was its second attempt? Was it "Bananas are actually berries, while strawberries are actually bananas"?
