  • Maybe some. But most of the regulars will be there no matter what. Crowds won’t cause them to skip it. That’s why they’re regulars.

    But also, New Year’s Day was a Thursday this year. The crowds aren’t going to show up until Monday next week when everyone goes off vacation mode.

    And it really isn’t that bad unless you’re trying to use one of the cardio machines - those things will be humming next week lol.

    That’s been my experience at one of the more expensive gyms anyway. Planet Fitness regulars may be cooked for a few weeks.







  • I’m curious what kind of task you tried using it for.

    it wasted my time and gave totally wrong answers (which, since I have experience, I was able to recognize as wrong. A less experienced person would be duped, thus the danger.)

    I’d argue that the only danger here is an unqualified person holding a job where they rely on AI to do their job for them and don’t know how to verify what is presented to them. They shouldn’t have said job to begin with.

    Obviously you need to be skeptical of any information it spits out, but knowing that it can be wrong sometimes, that should help you decide what exactly you want to use it for.

    I’m not asking it to do my whole job for me so I can play minesweeper all day. And I’m certainly not asking it to do shit I don’t know anything about; my job doesn’t require me to do things I’m not qualified or experienced with anyway.

    A lot of times I’m using it for mundane or repetitive tasks that need to be done. Sometimes I use it to get another perspective on something: “how would you accomplish X, Y, & Z” - sometimes I’ll get a response that makes me think of a solution I otherwise wouldn’t have thought of, other times I get a response that doesn’t really help at all.

    It’s just another tool just like Google has been for many years now. You need to know how and what to use it for in order to make it work for you.

    As for embedded adds, yea I’m not looking forward to that. At my age I’m used to enshittification ruining everything. But for now, I enjoy having it at my disposal.
