    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.

      I tried that Replika app before AI was trendy and immediately picked on the fact that AI companion thing is literal garbage.

      Maybe about time we listen to that internet wisdom about touching some grass.

        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 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.

          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.

            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 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.

                    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.

                        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.

                                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.

                                And the amount of connections and friends the average person has has been in free fall for decades...

                                    If you are dating a body pillow, I think that's a pretty good sign that you have taken a wrong turn in life.

                                      People also don't realize how incredibly stupid humans can be. I don't mean that in a judgemental or moral kind of way, I mean that the educational system has failed a lot of people.

                                      There's some % of people that could use AI for every decision in their lives and the outcome would be the same or better.

                                      That's even more terrifying IMO.

                                          I know we generally hate AI and I do for creativity or cutting jobs but chatgpt is really handy for searches like "family attractions near me". Where I live these events are sporadic and not generally visible on the likes of ticketmaster - even if they were the website is terrible for browsing events.
