  • A lot of people on Lemmy work in tech so responses are going to lean heavily in that direction. I’m not in tech and if you check my answer to this you’ll have a number of examples. I also know a few people who wanted to learn a new language and asked ChatGPT for a day by day programme and some free sources and they were pretty happy with the results they got. I imagine you can do that with other subjects. Other people I know have used it to make images for things like club banners or newsletters.


  • I use it like an intern/other team member since the non-profit I work for doesn’t have any money to hire more people. Things like:

    • Taking transcripts of meetings and turning them into neat and ordered meeting minutes/summaries, or pulling out any key actions/next steps
    • Putting together objectives and agendas for meetings based on some loose info and ideas I give it
    • Summarise the key points from articles/long documents I don’t have tome or patience to read through fully.
    • Making my emails sound more professional/nicer/make up for my brainfarts
    • Giving me ideas on how to format/word slides and documents depending on what tone I want to employ - is it meant for leadership? Other team members?
    • Make my writing more organised/better structured/more professional sounding
    • Writing emails in foreign languages with a professional tone. Caveat is I’m fluent enough in those languages to know if the output sounds right. Before AI I would rely on google translate (meh), dictionaries, language forums, etc and it would take me HOURS to write a simple email using the correct terminology. Also helpful to check grammar and sentence structure in ways that aren’t always picked up by Word.
    • I sound more like a robot than an actual robot, so I ask the robot to reword my emails/messages to sound more “human” when the need arises (like a colleague is leaving, had a baby, etc).
    • Bouncing off ideas. This doesn’t always work and I know it doesn’t actually have an opinion, but it helps get the ball rolling, especially if I’m struggling with procrastination.
    • If my sentences are too long for a document, I ask it to shorten/reword and it’s pretty capable of doing that without losing too much of the essence of what I want to get across

    Of course I don’t just take whatever it spits out and paste it. I read through everything, make sure it still sounds more or less like “me”. Sometimes it’ll take a couple of prompts to get it to go where I want it, and takes a bit of review and editing but it saves me literal hours. It’s not necessarily perfect, but it does the job. I get it’s not a panacea, and it’s not great for the environment, but this tech is literally saving my sanity right now.


  • Once again, that is not what whataboutism is, the crux of the argument hasn’t changed. You claim to be just as offended by other parodies of the last supper. Yet when presented with evidence of others parodying that specific image, even high profile examples, you’ve shown no indication that this has offended you just as much as it does when drag queens are featured. I even gave you multiple chances to pick any christian religious image you want and still nothing comes up. Either parodies of Christian art offend you just as much or they don’t, and if you single one out, the reason becomes very obvious.

    I would be more surprised to see Donald Trump in heaven compared to one of those drag performers in all honesty

    This just indicates that you’d still be surprised to see one of these drag queens in heaven, just not as surprised as you would seeing Donald Trump. And really? Donald Trump? A bar that low?


  • Yet it’s religious parody all the same, something that allegedly bothers you regardless of whether those involved are LGBTQIA+. I’ve yet to see an evidence to support your argument. Still no response to my original question. It’s not a problem when other major groups do it? No global uproar when it’s done countless times by high profile series like South Park, the Simpsons, Family Guy, Curb your Enthusiasm, IASIP? Not an issue when the hard right appropriates your religion for political gain? Barely a peep when the subjects are anything other than obviously part of the LGBTQIA,+ community. At this point you should just own your bigotry instead of wasting people’s time.
