I very much dislike, even despise the book "outliers" on principle (wrote a review on it on hive about a year ago I think) but I do remember agreeing with that portion about community spirit and living healthy together in a tight knit community. That's how we evolved from great apes after all. Social isolation and loneliness is the death of our kind. Even as an introvert I understand this intuitively.

I was a bit surprised when chatgpt emerged, I actually got there very early before it was viral. I think I praised it too in Thua Bazar how it can help finding out precise exam topic answers. I was a bit taken aback too, wondering whether this can replace me, the writers/reviewers. But a more closer inspection of how chatgpt works, I don't think it can write as I can, as it has no consciousness of it's own, it doesn't give a sense of personhood and personal voice. There's no art in its responses.
