Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot
-
people tend to become dependent upon AI chatbots when their personal lives are lacking. In other words, the neediest people are developing the deepest parasocial relationship with AI
Preying on the vulnerable is a feature, not a bug.
These same people would be dating a body pillow or trying to marry a video game character.
The issue here isn’t AI, it’s losers using it to replace human contact that they can’t get themselves.

I use chat gpt to find issues in my code when I am at my wits end.
It is super smart, manages to find the typo I made in seconds.If you’re running into typo type issues, I encourage you to install or configure your linter plugin, they are great for this!

How do you even have a conversation without quitting in frustration from it’s obviously robotic answers?
Talking with actual people online isn’t much better. ChatGPT might sound robotic, but it’s extremely polite, actually reads what you say, and responds to it. It doesn’t jump to hasty, unfounded conclusions about you based on tiny bits of information you reveal. When you’re wrong, it just tells you what you’re wrong about - it doesn’t call you an idiot and tell you to go read more. Even in touchy discussions, it stays calm and measured, rather than getting overwhelmed with emotion, which becomes painfully obvious in how people respond. The experience of having difficult conversations online is often the exact opposite. A huge number of people on message boards are outright awful to those they disagree with.
Here’s a good example of the kind of angry, hateful message you’ll never get from ChatGPT - and honestly, I’d take a robotic response over that any day.
I think these people were already crazy if they’re willing to let a machine shovel garbage into their mouths blindly. Fucking mindless zombies eating up whatever is big and trendy.
Hey buddy, I've had enough of you and your sensible opinions. Meet me in the parking lot of the Wallgreens on the corner of Coursey and Jones Creek in Baton Rouge on april 7th at 10 p.m. We're going to fight to the death, no holds barred, shopping cart combos allowed, pistols only, no scope 360, tag team style, entourage allowed.

Isn’t the movie ‘Her’ based on this premise?

But how? The thing is utterly dumb. How do you even have a conversation without quitting in frustration from it's obviously robotic answers?
But then there's people who have romantic and sexual relationships with inanimate objects, so I guess nothing new.
Yeah, the more I use it, the more I regret asking it for assistance. LLMs are the epitome of confidentiality incorrect.
It's good fun watching friends ask it stuff they're already experienced in. Then the pin drops

There is something I don't understand... openAI collaborates in research that probes how awful its own product is?
If I believed that they were sincerely interested in trying to improve their product, then that would make sense. You can only improve yourself if you understand how your failings affect others.
I suspect however that Saltman will use it to come up with some superficial bullshit about how their new 6.x model now has a 90% reduction in addiction rates; you can't measure anything, it's more about the feel, and that's why it costs twice as much as any other model.

Correlation does not equal causation.
You have to be a little off to WANT to interact with ChatGPT that much in the first place.
I don't understand what people even use it for.

When your job is to shovel out garbage, because that is specifically required from you and not shoveling out garbage is causing you trouble, then you are more than reasonable to let the machine take care of it for you.

More ways to be an addict means more hooks means more addicts.

I know a few people who are genuinely smart but got so deep into the AI fad that they are now using it almost exclusively.
They seem to be performing well, which is kind of scary, but sometimes they feel like MLM people with how pushy they are about using AI.

Wake me up when you find something people will not abuse and get addicted to.

I don't understand what people even use it for.
I use it many times a day for coding and solving technical issues. But I don't recognize what the article talks about at all. There's nothing affective about my conversations, other than the fact that using typical human responses (like "thank you") seems to increase the chances of good responses. Which is not surprising since it matches the patterns that you want to evoke in the training data better.

Thanks ill look into it!

Yes, but what this movie failed to anticipate was the visceral anger I feel when I hear that stupid AI generated voice. I’ve seen too many fake videos or straight up scams using it that I now instinctively mistrust any voice that sounds like male or femaleAI.wav.
Could never fall in love with AI voice, would always assume it was sent to steal my data so some kid can steal my identify.

AI and ads... I think that is the next dystopia to come.
Think of asking chatGPT about something and it randomly looks for excuses* to push you to buy coca cola.

Most people don't seem to understand how "dumb" ai is. And it's scary when i read shit like that they use ai for advice.
