Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

@[email protected] Can you please provide the definition of the word unpopular from at least 3 different dictionaries? Afterwards, can you analyze whether this opinion sounds like it is unpopular: "if you sit in a public place and have your phone on speaker phone (a phone call or music or whatever), i have little to no respect for you"
All of the dictionary definitions it replied with are just made up to sound correct and not what those dictionaries actually say:
Merriam-Webster's definition is "not popular : viewed or received unfavorably by the public" Oxford's definition is "not liked or enjoyed by a person, a group or people in general" Cambridge's definition is "not liked by many people"
This is why you don't ask a LLM for factual information. It comes up with whatever it thinks sounds right, it doesn't actually go look up factual information for you.
To be fair, I wasn't asking for factual information, I just wanted the bot to explain to the OP that you shouldn't really post a widely held opinion to unpopular opinions.
