Thanks gpt, that's exactly what I want, however it's worded a little too formally. Could you rephrase it slightly more casually please, as if it was a comment on a web forum?

[–] Kyoyeou 14 points 1 year ago

"Hey, I just wanna write a regular sentence, you know?" (Is the real answer ChatGPT to the previous discussion to make the tittle of this post)

[–] monotremata@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Certainly! Here's how this might be phrased in a more casual manner if it appeared as a comment on a web forum: "lol git gud noob jk"

[–] drekly@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's closer to what I need but perhaps too far in the casual direction. I think we need to meet midway and have something that more resembles casual natural speech

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sure, here's a comment for the Lemmy thread:

"Hey folks, just wanted to chime in here. Making a simple sentence ain't rocket science, right? 😄 I mean, ChatGPT's got some serious sentence-making skills, no doubt, but it's all about keeping it chill and natural, you know what I'm sayin'? 🙌"

[–] drekly@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hate when it does this. Real "fellow kids" vibes. Every time I mention to be casual

Nothing wrong with keeping it chill and natural

this whole exchange has truly saved me so much time and effort, thanks AI.

~~I frequently find myself writing in a manner similar to ChatGPT, with very structured sentences and proper grammar, and often overcorrect~~ I like to dumb down how I talk to sound less like a robit

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Robit robit.

Why eat spaghetti when you can eat the glorious pasta known as stroganoff?

[–] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Strogonoff is the sauce, it can be eaten with pasta or rice. Of course egg noodles are the superior preparation.

Huh... I did not know that.

Thanks for educating me.

If you ever feel like catching Ahab levels of rage, try to get an AI to give a simple one word yes or no response

[–] Repelle@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

First try

I find Claude to be better at most English requests than chat GPT, though. May be way harder there.

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sounds like a fun task. Could make a drinking game out of it haha

[–] AndrasKrigare@beehaw.org 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bing:

Say an ordinary sentence

Sure! Here's an ordinary sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." 🦊🐶

how do u do the indented thing

[–] SwiggitySwole@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Add a > to the start of your line

Like this

>Like this

Also you can add a \ before the > to make it not indent

[–] strawberry@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you use some clients like jerboa, you can just view source

[–] noisypine@infosec.pub 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but the noodles are made of sliced silicone and the tomato sauce is red paint. It looks good from a far, but it's actually wrong.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it composes sentences in a nonstick pan ?

[–] Kittenstix@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That looks like cast iron, i have never been able to get my cast completely nonstick, and I have 2 100 year old pans that are smooth as glass. I've tried reseasoning them 3 or 4 times, each time doing it in ways r/castiron said I was supposed to, but I do love those pans, glad they work with induction.

I said all that to say cast iron is not nonstick.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

wow, 100 yo pans. They must look cool

[–] jackie_jormp_jomp@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I bet they look like pans

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People could just learn how to write more eloquently but asking anybody to do anything is just asking too much these days.

[–] alfenstein@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

You can ask me to do something if you like

[–] original_ish_name@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There is no reason to make your sentences complex. It just makes them harder to read

Would you prefer

While I was in the United Kingdom of England, Scotland, and Wales, I ordered the beverage of tea at a coffee shop.

or

I ordered tea in a British coffee shop.

?

[–] Kyoyeou 1 points 1 year ago

I fully prefer the second one, now sadly writing 25 pages is not my strong point, I usually am able to write 22 when asked 25, and being able to write a lot is today a skill that is valued for 3 points at least

[–] Ataraxia@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Is something wrong with how I write? Because that's how I write when I'm explaining something. I would rather sou d informative than conversational. Never understood the aversion to passive voice either.

[–] Starshader@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You have to step up your game.

The people of the village gathered in the town square, a murmur of worried voices rising. Since the warlocks of the Great Mountain had stopped providing magical aid and blessings, the townspeople's lives had gotten steadily worse. Crops were failing, diseases spreading, monsters encroaching from the hills.

"We cannot rely on the mountain warlocks' charity any longer!" shouted Tana, an elder witch of the village. "For too long their magical bounty has come with steep prices - our sovereignty, our resources, our dignity. No more!"

The crowd cheered, magic crackling in the air from their hands.

"The warlocks hoard arcane knowledge that is our birthright!" Tana continued. "They control the weave of magic itself, keeping the power only for themselves. But united, our collective inner light can break their monopoly!"

Tana raised her hands, the air swirling with crimson tendrils of magic. Other witches and wizards followed suit, channeling their cosmic energies. The square glowed with a kaleidoscope of supernatural might.

"With our magic combined, we will reweave the enchantments of the world into a fairer pattern!" Tana proclaimed. "Where all beings share in magical abundance, not just the warlocks in their gilded mountain towers. No longer will they decide who gets blessings and who gets curses. The mystical threads of fate will be ours to collectively shape, for the good of all!"

The villagers cheered, joining their magic into brilliant bindings of solidarity and change. Together their spellcraft shook the foundations of the warlocks' ancient order. A new age was dawning.
