  • I too tend to use it as a souped up search engine, with mixed results. I was trying to get OBS to only record my game and not my music, and the bot came up with a whole routine involving setting up a virtual mixer, which I could not get to work correctly, and with which the bot was unable to help me, even with screenshots, - it would just keep suggesting the same thing that wasn’t working - AND it was a pain to revert all the changes.

    I tried to do the same thing again recently, but just via a google search, and almost immediately found a reddit post with a link to an OBS plugin that worked with a couple of menu selections. :)


  • I’m torn on it. First off, I reckon a lot of it is a misuse of technology. We should be using for it boring repetitive drudge work, not for creative works. That said, a lot of the ‘creative industries’ are devoted to bullshit like advertising. I mean, why have someone pour hours of their time and creativity to make something that’ll just be used to sell hamburgers, or be seen on screen for 2 seconds on one of Simon Whistler’s thousand videos this week? I’m sure they’d much prefer to be making something a bit more meaningful. Unfortunately that doesn’t pay. Which is why we desperately need a UBI. The benefits of the increases in productivity afforded by automation need to be passed on to everyone, not just the fat, rich cunts.
