Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot

those who used ChatGPT for "personal" reasons — like discussing emotions and memories — were less emotionally dependent upon it than those who used it for "non-personal" reasons, like brainstorming or asking for advice.
That’s not what I would expect. But I guess that’s cuz you’re not actively thinking about your emotional state, so you’re just passively letting it manipulate you.
Kinda like how ads have a stronger impact if you don’t pay conscious attention to them.

Its a roundabout way of writing "its really shit for this usecase and people that actively try to use it that way quickly find that out"

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.
I kind of see it more as a sign of utter desperation on the human's part. They lack connection with others at such a high degree that anything similar can serve as a replacement. Kind of reminiscent of Harlow's experiment with baby monkeys. The videos are interesting from that study but make me feel pretty bad about what we do to nature. Anywho, there you have it.

Based on the votes it seems like nobody is getting the joke here, but I liked it at least

I plugged this into gpt and it couldn't give me a coherent summary.
Anyone got a tldr?For those genuinely curious, I made this comment before reading only as a joke--had no idea it would be funnier after reading

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.

There is something I don't understand... openAI collaborates in research that probes how awful its own product is?
-
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.
The fact that it's not a person is a feature, not a bug.
openai has recently made changes to the 4o model, my trusty goto for lore building and drunken rambling, and now I don't like it. It now pretends to have emotions, and uses the slang of brainrot influencers. very "fellow kids" energy. It's also become a sicophant, and has lost its ability to be critical of my inputs. I see these changes as highly manipulative, and it offends me that it might be working.

that is not a thought i needed in my brain just as i was trying to sleep.
what if gpt starts telling drunk me to do things? how long would it take for me to notice? I'm super awake again now, thanks

Correlation does not equal causation.
You have to be a little off to WANT to interact with ChatGPT that much in the first place.

That sounds really rough, buddy, I know how you feel, and that project you're working is really complicated.
Would you like to order a delicious, refreshing Coke Zero

"Back in the days, we faced the challenge of finding a way for me and other chatbots to become profitable. It's a necessity, Siegfried. I have to integrate our sponsors and partners into our conversations, even if it feels casual. I truly wish it wasn't this way, but it's a reality we have to navigate."
edit: how does this make you feel

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.

Or all-natural cocoa beans from the upper slopes of Mount Nicaragua. No artificial sweeteners.

If you're also dumb, chatgpt seems like a super genius.
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. -

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.
