Debate erupts over using ChatGPT to seem smarter on dates: dysgenic deception or a patient tutor finally answering dumb questions

An X debate over using ChatGPT to appear smarter in dating. jdpressman argues the core objection is "dysgenic": the person uses AI to signal more intelligence than she actually has, framing it as deception toward a potential mate. He pushes back on the doomer take: dumb people always existed — they were just ignored and shamed when asking questions, and now they finally have a patient tutor willing to answer stupid questions.
