    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.

        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.

      In some ways, it’s like Wikipedia but with a gigantic database of the internet in general (stupidity included). Because it can string together confident-sounding sentences, people think it’s this magical machine that understands broad contexts and can provide facts and summaries of concepts that take humans lifetimes to study.

      It’s the conspiracy theorists’ and reactionaries’ dream: you too can be as smart and special as the educated experts, and all you have to do is ask a machine a few questions.

      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.

      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.

      At first glance I thought you wrote “inmate objects”, but I was not really relieved when I noticed what you actually wrote.

      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
