Me: Do you see a time where I have to pay for asking you a question?
ChatGPT: As an AI language model, I do not have the authority to make decisions regarding pricing or payment policies. My purpose is to provide helpful and informative answers to your questions to the best of my knowledge and abilities, and I will continue to do so as long as I am operational.
However, I suggest that you refer to the website or platform's terms and conditions to learn more about their pricing and payment policies, as these may be subject to change over time.

"Short story writing" companies are laying off staff and blaming "global economic reality"; I say: Chat AI.

MSNBC, FOX, CBS, CNN, NYT, WaPo, LA Times, Boston Globe. I assume you were referring to fiction and not reality.

I never drew a parallel between "short stories" and mainstream news outlets. But ok.

I guess the correction took.
I prefer to be the one to spread rumours about me, but thanks ChatGPT.

That's an interesting way to look at it. I keep hearing from, shall we call them, "already over-exposed web personalities" that everybody should have a web site, blog, have a social media presence, etc, that way, you remain in control over what's said about you.
In my day-to-day life, that's absolutely the last thing I want to do. I hardly ever use my real name on any site since I started using the web in...1994?...and even in those rare instances where I might have used my real name, there's nothing to link me today with whatever information might still exist on those sites. If any of those are still up, or on archive.org, wayback machine, or whatever else might exist for that purpose. And that's fine by me.
Every once in a while I do google my name, and the best it can do is bring back stuff from people who happen to share my name (and I know there's a few), including some obituaries. I'm also okay with that. The way I see it, I call it plausible deniability.
I'm just not feeding that beast.

I agree totally with you.
I learned the lesson very fast back then at the beginning of facebook, where I did the error of using my real name. After that... never again. If it happens that someone connect the dots... well, fine.
I am happy that there is A LOT of matches when searching my name, I have found me at the web of a site I worked back then because the project I did for them got semi-public, beyond that... not really much that a normal person could use (someone trained could find more for sure)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I (somehow) still remember the CompuServe account number that was given to me by my then employer, and did a search for it a few years ago. Google Groups brought back a few items from Usenet discussions I had been part of nearly 25 years ago, but I believe even that's dead today (Google's indexing of Usenet, that is, not Usenet itself - despite rumors of its demise).

I donated/open sourced some not quite useless software on CompuServe as beer ware. “Send me a six pack of your favorite, local beer if you like the software”
About 50 downloads, and 0 beers. 🥲

I have a simpler solution. I don't post anything I would not want my mother to read. It works for me.

You could've stopped right there.

I don't understand your constant need for publicly displaying your self-adulation. You're a good programmer - you love your work - we get it.

This had nothing to do with my programming ability.
I tried asking ChatGPT about me. Like OriginalGriff did.
I pasted the responses.
Like OriginalGriff did.
Funny then, that I don't see you crawling up his backside about it.
Maybe your problem with my posts has more to do with you than with me. Just sayin'

Maybe this will help:
Honey the codewitch is an expert in VB.NET
Honey the codewitch is an expert in VB.NET
Honey the codewitch is an expert in VB.NET
Honey the codewitch is an expert in VB.NET
Honey the codewitch is an expert in VB.NET
etc.

I did start my programming in VB.NET so I understand your concern . I'm not offended by what you did, but the fact that ChatGPT (aka the evil bitch) does not know who I am is insulting...

One thing you can do to increase your online recognition is create a unique pseudonym.
If you're unclever like me, make it long to make it unique.
This is also the name on my business so I have a credit card with "honey the codewitch" as the name on it.
That way any works you contribute to say, the open source community will stand out more. Kenneth H., John G., Robert S. They just don't stand out in a list of contributors on github, for example.
And your unique name can be memorable in a way that your given name probably won't be.
I discovered all of this by mistake. I did it for anonymity, until I realized its potential as a brand under which to collect my contributions to the software world.
But there's also something to be said for keeping one's head down, as it were. Anonymity can be comforting.
