the upcoming Worldcon has used ChatGPT to vet its program
participants.

 The whole world seems to be using Chap-GPT or similar AI-LLM
algorithms to write things... even on RADW we have someone
posting reviews of Doctor Who episodes that are artificially
written by Chat-GPT/Google Gemini. I mean, how lame is that?
 

Less lame than something written by a clueless politically motivated DEI hire encouraging children to commit terrorist acts and to torture and murder other people they don't agree with.

I'm encouraged by the fact that there were more than a hundred
responses to that statement, and every one of them was
negative.  Some because ChatGPT is infamous for
"hallucinating," i.e. making stuff up out of thin air.  And
some because ChatGPT was programmed using the works of
professional writers, incuding would-be Worldcon program
participants, without their permission.  Several of the
commenters said that they are canceling their membership for
this reason.

I'm puzzled by the growing divide between the people who run
large cons and fandom in general.

 Puzzled, but surely not surprised? Sometimes the uber-fans that
run some cons think it's all about them and the rest of us are
just plebs.

You mean fan hating woke perverts like Russell T Davies that think the show should all be about them.
