I very much dislike, even despise the book "outliers" on principle (wrote a review on it on hive about a year ago I think) but I do remember agreeing with that portion about community spirit and living healthy together in a tight knit community. That's how we evolved from great apes after all. Social isolation and loneliness is the death of our kind. Even as an introvert I understand this intuitively.
I was a bit surprised when chatgpt emerged, I actually got there very early before it was viral. I think I praised it too in Thua Bazar how it can help finding out precise exam topic answers. I was a bit taken aback too, wondering whether this can replace me, the writers/reviewers. But a more closer inspection of how chatgpt works, I don't think it can write as I can, as it has no consciousness of it's own, it doesn't give a sense of personhood and personal voice. There's no art in its responses.
You don't like outliers? Why?
I have to go and find your review, as I don't remember reading it.
This chatgpt is a very slippery slope for hive. Whatever little that is left will be destroyed in no time if we don't wake up.

Well, it's more like a rant but it is what it is. :P
Oh, I heard there's some kind of anti chat gpt thing in place?
I see. I think it’s perspective. I am with Gladwell, simply because I have personally seen the cases he described statistically. However I understand your point too, by definition all statistical conclusions have an other side. Any distribution have a tail. Funny thing the tail of a distribution is often more significant than its Median. You are talking about the tail while Gladwell is talking about the median.
Both are significant.
