Which each successive conversation I have with ChatGPT, I find it more and more difficult to share that interaction with others.

And here’s the rub: you could try to share these conversations. You could show someone the full thread, quote McLuhan, reference Coupland, tie in Gibson, maybe toss in a little Taoism for flavor. But then you see the blank stare. You realize: this isn’t a conversation to them. It’s a transmission from a place they don’t live. Some things aren’t meant to be shared in full. They’re meant to transform the person having them.

My blogging seems to have been taken over by ChatGPT. And the conversations I’m sharing are getting longer and longer. I use the “Continue reading…” link to make the post less intimidating but doubt many people read the entire thread (TLDR).

ChatGPT offered an interesting explanation that’s too long to post here and too good to omit entirely. Going forward, I’m going to post a brief summary with a link to a PDF of the full thread.
