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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

When historians are trying to credit the invention of generative AI, they may have to hunt down that one social media post that started the "use only auto-complete to finish this sentence" trend. (lemmy.sdf.org)

OP, do you think autocomplete was invented by the people who talked about autocomplete on Twitter? I just want to know how this fits together in your mind

Hahaha right? It’s the inventors of autocomplete that he should be crediting here for this thought to make any sense.
