I'm sorry but most ChatGPT output is functionally indistinct from a pg "quality" essay: Make banal observation about recent technological development. Explain it's "disruptive potential" for legacy industry. Express mild concern about possible social impact on group. Conclude that such concerns are overblown and that tech workers / investors can make shit loads of money while making the world a better, happier place for their chums. Be sure to only use a 9th grade vocabulary. If I had to ask why pg is concerned I'd say it's because ChatGPT threatens to disrupt the thought leader-industrial complex that he sits at the heart of. When anyone can generate his type of vacuous prose what point pg?

Not to defend pg specifically, but do you think your insulting him here has more value than what people get from his "vacuous prose"? I think ChatGPT could output something like your comment, too.
