The thing is, the people who downvoted you, very likely did, because your comment has 100% reddit vibes.



How so?


Is that a serious question?

You asked if someone could ask ChatGPT how to make meth from common ingredients. Very inappropriate by itself and completely off topic. With the bonus of a dismissive comment on the limitation that ChatGPT needs a phone number per account to limit bots. So actually this would be rather 4chan than reddit to me, or did you really think a interesting discussion would evolve out of this?


It is not at all "off-topic," since this post is specifically about chemists. And yes, I DO think an interesting discussion could evolve out of this. What if you asked it to make explosives? Or any other nefarious compound?

And in fact at least one person decided to post the result of such a query, instead of being a pompous dick and downvoting it or complaining about it.


Just because meth is a chemical and ChatGPT is an AI, doesn't make this close to the topic. It was about AI research in chemistry.

"I'm not dumb enough to give OpenAI my phone number."

And with this you are saying in effect, everyone else who did give OpenAI their number is dumb.

And then you say people who don't want your style of input here are dicks. Are you sure you are here for interesting discussions, or rather for the lulz and lame jokes? It seems the latter.
