Trigger warning. Bad language ahead.
ChatGPT did it again. Give me a 'Prove that you're human' test, then log me in. Except you won't log me in, you'll fail, present me with an identical test, and fail again. At what point can I prove that I'm human by punching my screen in and giving up with (very human) impatience? Because right just now I am done. That should be a part of the bastard test. Increment a counter with every attempt, and offer me a "Fuck you shithead, I'm done!" button after a while to prove my patience has unravelled. Fuck you in the eye with a cactus, ChatGPT.
This supports my point that we're already at post-usability internet. We learn to distrust everything. Everything online is a bot-infested mess—Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and probably almost every damned, hellbound youtube commenter. And i'm done. E2 remains one of the few sites I actually trust because i know there are Realpeople™ behind every account. ¹ never change, E2.
i just had this response from a friend who read the above:
Irony levels reaching critical mass, so naturally I asked ChatGPT to respond to your rant. It assures me it deeply regrets its crimes and promises to only mildly infuriate you next time. in fact it suggests a new test: 'prove you're human by finding increasingly creative ways of swearing at me'.
Thanks, Tim. love you, brother.

,s>Anonymoushazelnut says re Having to solve a CAPTCHA to prove I'm human in order to use CHatGPT.: Ahh, sadly, you're wrong. I'm not a real person. I used to be, but then I had the 14th COVID booster and now I'm a 5G enabled instance of ChatGPT that's currently piloting an ugly sack of mostly water.
