Done by human professionals, because clients deserve better than AI
I asked ChatGPT who William Lise is, and it came back with this in just a few seconds.
It believed everything I say about myself on my own website. Good for ChatGPT. It slipped up, however, by including, ostensibly as a photo of me, a photo of a guy who died in New Zealand a few years ago. Nice try. I am still around. A translator in Austria, Michael Bailey, helped me with this, probably by using image search.
Is authenticity no longer a “thing?”
I encountered a conversation on LinkedIn yesterday where the original post was clearly written in ChatGPTese or a dialect thereof, and every single comment was responded to in the same ChatGPTese.
When I questioned whether the original post and the responses to numerous apparently human-created comments were being written by a carbon-based entity or something else, I received a quick response, also in ChatGPTese. It didn’t at all read like there was a human behind it.
Authenticity is becoming rare, both on LinkedIn and on other social media platforms. The only input needed from a carbon-based participant is a prompt to a silicon-based assistant, then you just post the result.
Who could tell the difference? Well, just about anyone more intelligent than a starfish and who has not been blinded by the AI hype.
And now, a moment of silence in memory of our dear departed friend, Authenticity.
