relevants

I'm mostly just glad to be in a country where it is more socially acceptable to be direct. I would be a bit more formal than the original email, but the rewritten version seems really watered down and tip-toed in comparison.

I think that is changing through ChatGPT and the likes though, even it's non-English output has a distinct American tone to it that I'm starting to see more in professional emails. I have seen too many literal translations of "I hope this message finds you well" already, it's kinda ridiculous

I will say, for a mainstream US news outlet this article wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Maybe just because there's no way to spin this anymore, but then again some outlets will just parrot IDF statements as fact

Ooh good catch. That makes sense. Not sure I would call this beautiful, especially without any way to tell how much time has passed, but fair enough

That doesn't make sense unless this was personal expenditure, which it doesn't seem to be

But.. from when? Surely expenditure hasn't gone up linearly with time

..how did the line come about? How did they determine what the life expectancy would have been with less expenditure per capita?

Wenn es um etwas geht, mit dem die Liberalen sich identifizieren können: "Anreize schaffen!"

Wenn es um soziale Grundbedürfnisse geht: "Angebot und Nachfrage regeln den Preis!"

Ok, I like this description a lot actually, it's a very quick and effective way to explain the effects of no backtracking. A lot of the answers here are either too reductive or too technical to actually make this behavior understandable to a layman. "It just predicts the next word" is easy to forget when the thing makes it so easy to be anthropomorphized subconsciously.

For me it was the fact that the first sentence literally just spells out what the line above says. It feels like every other sentence coming from ChatGPT is just a summary of the previous sentence. (Unless it's trying to relativize, then it hits you with the "it's important to remember".)

Eh, I mean it's a very specific flavor of overexplaining and needlessly summarizing, I don't think real ramblings (for lack of a better word) would exhibit this particular writing style purely by chance, even with repeated points.

This consistent overexplaining of every single sentence reeks of GPT

Then why are you in this community?
