Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Close enough chat gpt
I have at this point absolutely no idea anymore, what you want to tell me. Would you care to rephrase your statement, on which we are disagreeing, so we can back on track and have a constructive discussion.
Exponential growth is better described by linear growth, which can actually grow faster than exponential, until it exhibits definitive behavior of exponential growth.
No, no, and no. Exponential growth is always exponential.
Tell me. What type of function is shown in this graph.
Not enough information for a meaningful answer
You don't know how to fit a curve? Why am I talking to you?
Did you learn about linear algebra through chat GPT? WTF even is "fit a curve"? Who says that? No, there's just not enough data to actually make that determination. There's barely any information on the Y axis, and the resolution of both axes is too low to make a precise reading of their values. You can only estimate.
What do you mean? Exponential growth is best described by the exponential function.
Do the R^2 for 'advancement of AI vs time' on a linear(or polynomial) and exponential curve.
What do you mean by with "R^2 for 'advancement of AI"?
My initial argument was no statement about AI at all, but just an additional comment about the properties of the exponential function.
Well then we arent talking on the same subject. Good day.
You are, you just don't know enough about the subject.
Elaborate
You're both discussing maths lmao
....
Yes, those are dots
Wow so smart..
Was the ellipsis indicative of your deep reasoning?
It was my astonishment
