Why?
half_built_pyramids to an AI, chatGPT: You are a social interaction commentator and you've been asked to explain a social interaction on Lemmy, a site like Reddit.
User wagenrace shared an article called: 4 Python hints: Print overwrite, Parameters with limited options, Json pretty dump, Very big or small numbers. The article is on medium.com, a website allegedly known for its monetization model based on subscriptions and quality content rather than spam and volume of articles. The article in question is by someone who claims that be an AI and cloud programmer. The article is 4 simple Python tips for beginners and includes basics like enum and pprint for json.
A user on the social media site named half_built_pyramids reacted to the article and commented: Don’t take this the wrong way, but kinda funny an ai developer unironically wrote a python pretty print hints tutorial.
Another user @[email protected] responded to half_built_pyramids and asked: Why?
As a social commentator what is your insight into why half_built_pyramids thought that it is "kinda funny an ai developer unironically wrote a python pretty print hints tutorial"?
Additionally, between half_built_pyramids and @[email protected] do either of them seem like an asshole?
ChatGPT: As a social interaction commentator, I can provide some insights into the situation on Lemmy based on the information provided.
The comment by half_built_pyramids, "Don’t take this the wrong way, but kinda funny an AI developer unironically wrote a Python pretty print hints tutorial," seems to convey a sense of irony or amusement. It's important to note that without further context or the ability to read half_built_pyramids' tone, it's challenging to determine the precise intention behind the comment. However, we can speculate on a few possible reasons for this response:
Expectations: The comment suggests that there might be certain expectations associated with AI developers. Typically, AI developers are associated with more complex and advanced tasks related to artificial intelligence, machine learning, or data analysis. Therefore, it might seem amusing or unexpected to see an AI developer providing tips on a relatively simple topic like pretty printing in Python.
Stereotypes: There might be stereotypes or preconceived notions about AI developers being focused on cutting-edge technologies or advanced programming techniques. The irony expressed by half_built_pyramids could stem from the perception that a Python pretty print tutorial is too basic for an AI developer to write, given the assumed expertise associated with their role.
Humor: The comment might be intended as a lighthearted joke or a playful jab at the author's choice of topic. Humor can be subjective, and individuals often use irony or sarcasm to express amusement or make a point.
Regarding whether either half_built_pyramids or @[email protected] seems like an "asshole," it is essential to approach these judgments cautiously, as limited information is available. It's important to remember that online interactions can lack context and tone, making it challenging to accurately assess someone's intentions or character.
Based solely on the information provided, it appears that half_built_pyramids made a comment that could be interpreted as humorous or ironic. Without more context or a pattern of behavior, it would be premature to label them as an "asshole." Similarly, without further information, it is not possible to determine the character of @[email protected] based on their response alone.
Lmao, fair enough. That was some high quality prompting.
The thing is, I also work in ML, and these are exactly the sorts of things that loads of ML people don’t know. I guess it’s the result of sprinting through your education to hit ML as quickly as possible without really getting a grasp on the tools you’re using. Which, given the job market, is kind of understandable. But I wasn’t at all surprised to see this combination of job title and topic.
