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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I just don't understand why you want to copy-paste ChatGPT. Surely the parent commenter could access ChatGPT if they wanted, so you're not bringing a new perspective. If "content" is all that matters, you could generate a thousand different ChatGPT responses and reply to their comment with each one, but that's not acceptable. Why not?
People come here for a conversation with other people, and copy-paste ChatGPT responses don't actually contribute to that. If all they want is information/content, there are better places to find it. They could use ChatGPT, sure, but they could also use Wikipedia or even an economics textbook. It's up to them. Even if they use ChatGPT, they'd probably prompt it a few times in a few different ways to get the best info for them.
If you really want to use ChatGPT in your responses, why not add your own voice? When I suggested commentary I don't mean that you should just prompt ChatGPT into pretending to be a human, I mean that you should add your own perspective. Editorialize. Pull out the good bits.
