Why is Mumsnet so GC?

Maybe an odd question but I've never come across another space, online or otherwise, where being GC is the norm. IRL I only ever discuss GC views openly with one family member, whose stance on it is similar to my own, though, so I'm not saying it's unwelcome.... Just curious how/why it's come about. Any thoughts or theories?

Can you get AI to do some illustrations?

I reckon with a few tweaks I could hide the fact it was written by AI!

Oh, I thought you'd written it!

Alas no! The AI is getting better by the day isn't it!

Boiled - do you give lessons in how to use Co-Pilot? I would gain a lot from being able to make my uninhibited review notes on a paper and then have Co-Pilot or something transform it into something more moderate to return to a journal or funder.

NB: On every relevant paper I review, I ask why there aren't sex-disaggregated data or why, if they exist, they're not in the abstract. I normally have to re-write this as my exasperation might leak through from time to time.

If I put candles in my hair and wore a stripey pullover I'd definitely look more like the one on the left. If it was left in the hot sun for a few hours.

I wanted to see Queen Boiled on her sunflower throne.

A beetle queen!

I didn't know it existed until yesterday! I just start with my basic premise of what i want and if it doesn't churn out what I'm looking for I tweak the wording to correct the errors! So I presume you could enter a paragraph and get it to change certain bits of the language

MAGNIFICENT!!!!

A story about this majestic coleopteran monarch could completely revive Disney. (As long as they didn't "put a chick in it and make her gay" or have her relying on the advice of "magical creatures".)

Nor, I think, are we.

Nope, and I'm literally egging her on in the fourth plinth thread too.

Love 'em. Especially the last one with the red specs. We should ask MN to change the logo 🤣

Most of them are slimmer than I am (well, all of them, actually . . . ) but other than that the likeness is uncanny. 😂

They are far too young.

Don't forget we are dinosaur like too.

I have decided that I love copilot too. I am loving the images.

Has anyone seen the story about the scientific paper that was published with hilariously bad AI produced illustrations and diagrams and had to be retracted by the journal?

Only quoted so we have two giant rat appendages to laugh at! Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention.

Boiledbeetle · 23/02/2024 13:49

Oh wow! That's an impressive appendage on that rat! I'm fairly sure if that was the case rst traps would be a different design!

Here's some rather funky dinosaurs to clear the rat penis image!
