this is pretty much what chat gpt does for you and i hate that everyone is amazed

its like having someone that knows how to properly use a search engine find and summarize what you ask and it fails at that too

its given me wrong answers for things ive asked and when i tell it its wrong it just doubles down because it does not understand fact vs opinion it just gives you the most relevant data it has and says "that's the answer you want"

at least when i search for things myself i can omit results from certain websites and im lucky enough to know i need to check against multiple sources to validate what im reading

most of the people amazed and "abusing" chat gpt think its a futuristic and magical tool when really its pretty simple and incredibly dumb in its current state

it is not a calculator math is a very straight forward language where you have a right answer and many methods in your toolset to arrive at them and generally equations are structured in specific ways and so are the answers to them

other things like writing essays is a lot more nuanced and its very obvious when its "in your own words" or not especially to someone like a teacher who spends hours and hours out of the years analyzing your vocabulary and writing style

> it doesn't say whiskey anywhere on the front of the bottle -- as all the whiskey actually does.

fun fact: you're wrong. here's what the canadian version of fireball looks like. yes it's whiskey. no the word isn't anywhere on the battle. yes the canadian version is sold in the US

> you have to be somewhat mentally deficient to believe that Fireball whiskey can be sold in your local gas station

lots of gas stations are in fact legally allowed to sell liquor

> This is the same jackass who .... has filed something like 400 or 500 lawsuits like this. Special seat in hell reserved.

someone who systematically holds companies accountable for misleading marketing is reserved a special seat in hell? weird priorities dude

Not even Reagan had a cult. WTF do you base your comment on? Trump literally has people who worship him as an idol. Who literally will destroy their careers and lives for him Look at Mike Lindell. Rudy Giulianni. Ashli Babbitt.

Who the fuck has died for Biden?

Do you think being a celebrity automatically makes you a cult leader? Trump exhibits all the characteristics of a cult leader and his people.

You're just a reactionary who projects on everyone and everything.

That guy was a scam artist though. Nutrition isn't rocket science. None or his claims added up, he refused to release his meal plan(the most basic of basic) & used some crackpot diet afterwards to say how hard it was to return to normal.

Throw in the "documentary" being funded by a lawyer whose tried to make a living out of sueing mcd and what do you get?

A ridiculously popular, constantly referenced movie from people who think they're smarter than the plebz who don't know the fast foods aren't healthy. Stunning observation.

>No, it was the water pipe leak. They just don't want to pay to fix this guy's yard.

Says the non-judgemental redditor water erosion expert who's never been onsite.

First, you've even less of a clue than the city.

Second, given that it's in the front yard, it's more than likely the homeowner's responsibility if it's a broken pipe, not the city. Same goes for rain water. Only way I could see this being on the city is if their drains overflowed, came onto the homeowner's property, then miraculously decided to wash away the soil under the lawn. Not likely.

Might be location dependent but where I am, city is only responsibly up to the meter. Most meters are near the property line, not just outside the front door.

Edit: I am absolutely astounded at my downvotes. Don't really care but reddit's moronic hivemind has really taken the cake here. I have to seriously wonder how many of the downvotes have come from people with actual experience in, knowledge of or familiarity with home ownership or home construction.

Given my experience with both and also my experience with fixing water supply breaks between the meter and a house, I'm going to double down with my original comment. The actual lack of intelligence is here is mind numbing.

For whoever commented about water meters being on houses and that maybe I was used to a more rural setting where the meter is at the road, is Seattle rural enough for you?
