    I had to shorten the headline quite a bit, sorry for that. Original headline:

    ‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder

    • lm28469 a day ago ago

      As if looking for love on dating apps wasn't bad enough, what's their endgoal? Scraping every bit of humanity out of our lives?

    Love always breaks the rules, I guess. Somehow the human race has continued to propagate despite every relationship in the modern world feeling like an impossible accident that was never supposed to happen. And yet it does happen, continues to happen, billions of times over. Billions of people living their lives, falling in love, having kids, dying old and infirm. Like rats trapped in a maze. I wonder if the rats think their love is special too?

      Yeah, but usually it was another human plying you with sweet nonsense from the other side of that dance, not some bland sludge factory pointed in the right direction. What you say is sort of a non-sequitor that just bypasses how this GPT nonsense has nothing to do with love or people somehow managing to meet and create sparks in the real world.

      It's like comparing "friendly" spam from a nigerian prince with emails from overseas friends wanting to come visit.

      Edit: Worse, the nigerian prince emails were usually written by human Nigerians at least.

    "I got you, babe" loops

    Perfect words, rehearsed embrace—

    No one's really there

    The sentence

    > She was recently on the receiving end of an AI-generated opening line: “Your smile is effortlessly captivating”.

    got me laughing. It's incredible how many confirmations of Dunning-Kruger are out there.

      What does this have to do with Dunning-Kruger?

      • netsharc 20 hours ago ago

        The copy-paster couldn't recognize that using that line would show that he's using an LLM...

        • loandbehold 20 hours ago ago

          That's an example of incompetence, not Dunning-Kruger.

        I just assume when I read someone post Dunning-Kruger like this they are trying to make an ironic joke.

    • chermi 16 hours ago ago

      Dunning-Kruger must include some indicator the subject thinks they're more intelligent/competent than they are. All I see here is proof of subject being a dumbass, maybe he/she is aware of it.

    Newspapers have script writers to come up with plausible stories and get our attention with useless news.

    We shouldn't spread this sort of stuff, unless we want more.
