I read comments like these and feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Alice in Wonderland moment, truly. Like, we are all engineers here, even if just a little. Willingly and knowingly constraining your information intake to a random character generator is a bold move. Incomprehensible for me, but definitely bold :) .
I know it’s controversial i know sometimes it’s inaccurate i honestly don’t care anymore i just don’t want the outrage inducing news content / videos / etc.
News is no longer the same everything is structured to maximize clicks , reactions, etc. Most news is misinformation or ideologically slanted anyways i just ask it to curate from feeds im interested in now, ive shifted to it only a few weeks ago, honestly its not as bad as people here are commenting it out to be.
i get it sounds dystopian but so does what i used to do previously. I dont need to know everything about everything, business & tech news i still read and watch myself as it tends to be fairly pleasant and inviting.
For me this is how the cons compare:
- Occasional inaccuracy from AI summaries < constant psychological damage from outrage algorithms
- Missing some nuance < being manipulated into anger and anxiety daily
- Imperfect information filtering > perfect exposure to toxic information delivery
I didn’t want to make this change i had to for my mental health sorry. Chatgpt can hallucinate a ton , claude is way more accurate and fair , i experiment with both.
