  • I like it. First reason is I don’t always watch just one show, sometimes I’ll move between 3-4, so it can be a week before I see the same show again. Just because a lot of people binge doesn’t mean everyone does.

    Secondly there’s no way on earth I’d want to scrub through the previous episode trying to find and remember the important points, especially with buffering, it’d probably take just as long as rewatching the episode.

    Third is that it’s not always just the last episode they’re recapping, sometimes it’ll be something from episode 2 that’s only now become relevant in episode 5, and without binging it I definitely prefer the reminder, sometimes even with.

    My last point isn’t really a point explicitly in favour of recaps, but finally, you can skip them very easily if you don’t want them. Most if not all streaming services literally build in a skip button for the theme/opening/recap. But even if they don’t it’s pretty easy. So I don’t really see it as a big deal in the end.


  • If someone doesn’t know the answer to something and they guess, or think they know the answer but don’t, they are wrong. If they do know the answer and intentionally give a wrong answer, they are lying.

    If someone is in a competition or playing a game and they break a rule they didn’t know about, they made a mistake. If they do know the rules and break it, they are cheating.

    Lying and cheating fundamentally requires intent. This is important no matter what you’re referring to. If a child gets something wrong, you should not get mad at them for lying. If they make a mistake in a game, you should not acuse them out cheating. There is a difference and it matters.

    ChatGPT literally cannot think. It’s not sitting around contemplating it’s existence while waiting for inputs. It’s taking what you say, comparing that to everything that it’s been trained on, assigning a bunch of statistics, and outputting something based on more statistics that hopefully is correct and makes sense.

    It doesn’t know if it makes sense. It doesn’t “know” anything. It’s just an incredibly sophisticated version of “if user inputs ‘Hi how are you’, respond ‘I am well, how are you?’”.

    It can’t do things with intent. Therefore it cannot lie or cheat. It can simply output wrong or problematic text based on statistics.
