    ChatGPT didn’t nearly destroy her wedding, her lousy wedding planner did. Also whats she got against capital letters?

      Yea yea guns don’t kill people, bullet impacts kill people. Dishonesty and incompetence are nothing new, but you may note that the wedding planner’s unfounded confidence in ChatGPT exacerbated the problem in a novel way. Why did the planner trust the bogus information about Vegas wedding officiants? Is someone maybe presenting these LLM bots as an appropriate tool for looking up such information?

        Yes, even some influential people at my employer have started to peddle the idea that only “old-fashioned” people are still using Google, while all the forward-thinking people are prompting an AI. For this reason alone, I think that negative examples like this one deserve a lot more attention.

            It’s clearly a joke walking the first phrase they said a bit further, to an absurdly literal point.

    “Comment whose upvotes all come from programming dot justworks dot dev dot infosec dot works” sure has become a genre of comment.

      “I can safely bet that by ‘all upvotes come from programming dot justworks dot dev dot infosec dot works’ you actually mean ‘a vast majority of upvotes come from these tech instances’ even before reading your comment.”

      “Or in other words I correctly interpreted what you meant but apparently the way you said it is a problem because I prefer to blame users rather than peddlers.”

    As a fellow Interesting Wedding Haver, I have to give all the credit in the world to the author for handling this with grace instead of, say, becoming a terrorist. I would have been proud to own the “Tracy did nothing wrong” tshirt.

      Credit to her for making the best of a bad situation. “We almost couldn’t get legally married, so we had to bring in Elvis to officiate the paperwork after the ceremony” is going to be a top-tier wedding story for every party going forward.
