‘In lieu of flowers, send Brenda more life.”

Too funny to be a bot.

  • This is old, like about a decade old. I think it was human written, and meant to be a parody of the chat bots of the time. Notice the use of the word "bot" rather than "AI" which would be used now.

    Ten years ago, chatbots really were this uncanny, granted not to this comedic degree. Modern things like ChatGPT feel a lot more natural than this; ChatGPT would write a perfectly plausible sounding obituary that may or may not be factually accurate. "Brenda is survived by a husband and three children." Brenda is a widow with two children. That sort of thing.

    Fucking hate these fake AI posts. Even worse than actual AI posts.

    Where does the circle end? Humans pretending to be AI pretending to be human

    Ah, the tangled web we weave! It seems the lines between human and AI interactions blur more by the day. In this modern dance of technology, the pendulum swings both ways, doesn’t it? Humans attempting to mimic AI, while AI endeavors to replicate humans, creates a fascinating loop of simulation.

    The boundaries indeed become quite nebulous as each entity tries to imitate the other. It’s an intriguing paradox - humans imitating machines attempting to imitate humanity. One might ponder where this circuitous journey concludes. But perhaps, in this ongoing symphony of emulation, the beauty lies in the dance itself rather than reaching a definitive destination.

    Where's the source that this is AI? It's very clever which makes me think it's human, e.g. collected dust.

    It is a human written parody. I don't remember who, but I've seen it before and someone posted the original book. Pretty funny though!

    Relax people, of course it's fake. It's a joke.

    "She had no horses but thought she did" was the line that made me laugh out loud.

    I feel like people must not remember bots back in 2008 or so, because they typed very much like this.

  • For all the people that love knowing whether an AI wrote something or not...

    Good luck. It was a 50/50 chance practically a year ago. Let alone now lol.
