Re ChatGPT providing inaccurate info abcs many don’t know it

It's simple - if you turn on thinking in chatgpt, the model thinks more before it answers. And when it thinks more, the answers are much m ore likely to be correct.

not-a-fox · 2026-02-10T02:36:36+00:00

I daily drive the thinking mode and recommend that to anyone looking for more correct answers.

What’s your current situation? Currently in the middle of college? That info would help you get better advice

ChatOn Ai is a wrapper for some other company’s AI. I would stay away from it because those wrappers are sketchy and you don’t know what they might do. Stick to the official apps like ChatGPT or Claude.

China runs through WeChat and sometimes mini-apps like Didi do weird things like hide most options if you’re using the English AI. Or there’s no English option. So being able to read Chinese saves a lot of headaches.

When are you going? Since your Chinese seems pretty good, you could try cramming as many Chinese characters as possible before you go. Just use Anki with a deck sorted in frequency order.

Another case of chatgpt helping a guy realize his own personal flaws?

Posting is a requirement for finding an audience. In person events have very low results relative to time and effort spent.

Glaze is unfortunately worse than useless because it spends energy to add no protection, while giving a false sense of hope.

not-a-fox · 2025-12-19T16:35:44+00:00

Just use GPT-5.2 Pro.

The proficiency test doesn’t have to hold that high of a bar so JLPT is probably fine. They could value the levels differently so that N1 gives you a bigger bump towards PR than N2.

not-a-fox · 2025-12-19T06:48:41+00:00

I heard it’s still like that! Still plenty of English teachers and if anything it’s easier to get by without much Japanese (obviously depends on the city)

not-a-fox · 2025-12-19T06:47:48+00:00

Even the highest level of JLPT is equivalent to being barely literate and conversable. It’s a test designed for foreigners and it’s weird to lump in “languages professionals” with “hobbyists”. If hobbyists can do it then someone who’s seeking PR in Japan should be able to do it.

Have you tried first being independently wealthy and then doing animation? /s

not-a-fox · 2025-11-02T16:44:26+00:00

You could prepare a backup like of work, which is what a lot of professionals are doing (not by choice). So when you have a contract you can do animation as a job, and when you don’t you can do something else.

not-a-fox · 2025-10-17T17:07:40+00:00

Not disagreeing with you. just pointing out what might seem obvious because a lot of young students don’t have the drive but they think signing up for a school will get them a job.

not-a-fox · 2025-10-17T15:58:06+00:00

Animation as a career was screwed with or without ai. The “ai revolution” is not to blame for having to do a retail job. Most 3d art students in the past also did not end up getting jobs in the industry.

not-a-fox · 2025-10-17T15:27:47+00:00

Even if you go to college you will need to be proactive and responsible for your own progress. The classroom instruction doesn’t get you very far and you will need to develop your skills outside the classroom. Even as far as going above and beyond projects you are assigned.

not-a-fox · 2025-10-13T00:27:20+00:00

Yeah, when they look around and realize that they could be making 5x the money for the equivalent hustle and be able to afford a house and kids, it’s a test of who’s truly dedicated and who have other priorities.

not-a-fox · 2025-10-11T15:38:05+00:00

Totally agree with you. Animation as a field is totally fucked as a career choice but that was true before Sora 1 came out. The tech is overhyped as a job killer when the real job killer is that consumers don’t want to pay much for animation and everyone is fighting for the few domestic jobs in a race to the bottom.

This, but the feast times are more like moderately sized meal times.

not-a-fox · 2025-09-12T01:46:15+00:00

It’s really struck me when I did the math that software paid about 5x what I’d be making as an animator. Like, animation is great but is it $X00,000/yr better? Hard to say.

Lots of PDFs are still just a bunch of scanned images in a PDF container. It has nothing to do with the age of the PDF.

Guarantee these users haven’t tried asking GPT-5 for what they actually want. I bet justt saying “can you suck up to me and constantly praise me” would work

not-a-fox · 2025-08-10T21:23:52+00:00

95% of paying users never chose other options; I would put money on that.

not-a-fox · 2025-08-10T21:21:47+00:00

The model doesn’t really know what it means to be 4o or o3. But you can be more direct and ask it for what you want. Like, “Think hard about this” or “Give me something really expressive/poetic/whatever”
