A year or so ago, I fed my wife's blood work results into chatgpt and it came back with a terrifying diagnosis. Even after a lot of back and forth it stuck to its guns. We went to a specialist who performed some additional tests and explained that the condition cannot be diagnosed with just the original blood work and said that she did not have the condition. The whole thing was a borderline traumatic ordeal that I'm still pretty pissed about.

Does anyone else find the AI writing excruciating? It's not that hard to prompt the AI to not write in AI-ese. And it's a million times better if a human writes it. It's low effort just to paste the slop....

The tells:

"EquipmentShare’s founders grew up in a commune where rules were strict, and self-reliance wasn’t a slogan — it was a necessity."

"The EquipmentShare founders didn’t start by trying to “disrupt” an industry. They started by solving their own problem."

"Over time, they didn’t just build a marketplace. They built an operating system for the jobsite."
