Ideapod has been most helpful to me as… Ideapod has been most helpful to me as it offers practical and useful advice for personal and spiritual growth. I always read the Ideapod newsletter and there is so much good stuff there. Many thanks to the Ideapod staff for creating such great content!

Used ChatGPT to write articles and make up fictional people and memories. Had an article titled "People who are truly happy usually exhibit these 10 traits" allegedly written by a "Lachlan Brown" a day ago (August 15, 2023) show up in the recommendations on my phone app. When I got to item 7, the item headers started showing that they were interactions between a user giving ChatGPT prompts like "Do the next one. Be counterintuitive." or "Do the last one, with a personal touch." The result was that the anecdotes about characters like "Uncle Rob" were completely fabricated, and Ideapod does not indicate that the articles may be partially fictional. The inclusion of the chat prompts also means that the ChatGPT output for that portion of the article wasn't even edited for quality or accuracy (as accurate as a computer program can be about human habits and personality and emotions), if obvious mistakes like this made it into the published article.

goog 5 stars purely for having the best newsletter signup UI in the game; the people that want to sign up can easily do so after reading a bit of the article and those who don't don't have to deal with popups and can just scroll past. good articles too
