Witness the horrifying consequences of AI unchecked.

Write a 200 word technical post for Hubski, in the style of @kleinbl00, explaining why Swatch watches are superior to Girard-Perregaux watches. Use the word "fuck" once every paragraph.

    Alright, Hubski, let's talk about watches. Specifically, let's talk about why Swatch watches are far superior to overrated brands like Girard-Perregaux. Fuck, this is going to be good.

    First of all, let's talk about movements. Swatch has been innovating in the world of movement technology for decades, and fuck, it shows. Their movements are reliable, accurate, and they're always pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Meanwhile, Girard-Perregaux seems content to coast on their reputation and charge outrageous prices for their mediocre movements.

    But it's not just about the movements. Swatch watches are also incredibly durable and easy to maintain. They're designed to be worn every day, and fuck, they can take a beating without skipping a beat. Meanwhile, Girard-Perregaux watches are delicate and fragile, requiring constant maintenance and care just to keep them ticking.

    And let's not forget about design. Swatch watches are fun, colorful, and stylish, with a range of designs that can suit any taste. Meanwhile, Girard-Perregaux seems content to stick with the same old boring designs year after year, charging ridiculous prices for uninspired pieces that no one wants.

    In conclusion, fuck Girard-Perregaux. If you're looking for a high-quality watch that's reliable, durable, and stylish, look no further than Swatch. They've been pushing the boundaries of watchmaking for decades, and their commitment to innovation and design is unparalleled. So save your money and invest in a watch that's actually worth it.

To narrow down the difference between what GPT writer vs. kleinbl00‘s writing as needing more fucks, is a gross simplification. I chose kb for a few reasons.

1. He has his own style/voice. You know it when you read it.

2. He is prolific. AI should be able to find a lot of references

3. He can deep dive into topics. I chose watches because there is likely a plethora of info he’s written here on the topic.

Where did GPT go wrong? I think it’s far too simple and straight forward. KB would use metaphor, real life anecdotes etc to make his point. Cursing? Sure but usually to better effect. I’m not convinced the AI has any idea of KB’s writing here. I was hoping it would have been more true to form. Bummer. AI fail.

LOL you are far too kind.

Your first examples looked really Maddox-ey so I decided to see if it knew Maddox. It doesn't. Then I tried to see if it knew Cormac McCarthy. It doesn't. Then I tried to see if it knew Truman Capote. It added "once upon a time" to its stock boilerplate. Then I tried to see if it knew Mitch Hedberg. It added

    Ah, wristwatches. I have a special fondness for them. They're like tiny little time machines that you can wear on your wrist.

to its stock boilerplate. Then i tried to see if it knew Sam Kinison.

Then I threw in the towel and asked for Shakespeare.

    'Oh, dost thou not know the power of a wristwatch?

    Verily, I say, it can tell time with nary a chime!

    It can bind a man to his daily tasks,

    And yet still leave room for leisurely asks.

I think it's gotten hella stupider over the past month 'cuz in February it gave me a rippin' HP Lovecraft interpretation of the blockchain and now?

    It began with a mysterious whisper on the dark web, a strange and unfamiliar call to action. "Unlock the secrets of the blockchain," it said. No one knew what it meant, but it intrigued many. People from all around the world began to investigate, trying to uncover the secrets of this mysterious technology.
