Clearly fake for around here. No snark.

Non controversial answers.

Foiling boats require wade in launch areas, few places have such facilities. Foiling dinghies will be more restricted by the availability of suitable launching areas than non-foiling dinghies. Foiling boats don't, in light air. Thus every sailor needs a wildly over powered dinghy for light air, a foiling dinghy for medium air, and stay on shore and repair both on heavy wind days.

Light air sailing sucks. Either sail a boat with far too much sail area, such as a fully crewed, fully rigged boat with an SA/D of 50 or higher. See above answer for more details.

Motor assisted boats perform significantly better than boats without an auxillery. Therefore on light air days when you do not have a boat that meets the requirements of answer two and do not require maintenance as in answer one, go power boating.

I am pretty sure the thread title is in reference to Chat GBT writing content instead of humans

We are, indeed, screwed.

Foilers don't foil when sailing behind a tree or house on the river bank.
Putting foilers on waters which has a 4 mph limit for motorboats would be just dangerous.

Light air sailing takes a skill some don't have , it's quite possible to race dinghies in light airs.
The sailing world does exist in smaller and sheltered waters.

I'm off for a sail in light airs in a displacement 16ft boat.

Chatgpt is quite interesting to play with. The examples above are pretty typical responses to basic prompts, however with a little tweaking you could easily get the bot to write a post in the style of Lesbian Robot or Sol Rosenberg.

ChatGPT is more modern and relevant than some dinosaurs are when it comes to smallboat sailing.

I’ve been playing with midjourney to create AI images. It’s really amazing, however it isn’t very good at boats.

Stupid thread

Sometimes the results are humorous.

So I never got a result like that in midjourney, however I did try another lesser known generator that I forget the name of, and did a prompt for Rihanna racing a small sailboat and got a similarly styled result, which, while completely not what I was aiming for, I liked anyhow.

I think it's running off some dated information but funny nonetheless
