AI lovers should grieve their lost brain cells.
Lordy. Just put your phone down go outside and just interact with humans.
Humans elected trump, and are just the worst. This isn’t even new information. The old phrase in the 1970s was “people suck”. Probably some old classic car that still has that bumper sticker somewhere.
Nah I’m good thanks. I don’t even want to talk to an AI.
Now going outside and befriending some small creature, or hugging a few trees? That sounds nice.
That does sound nice.
Humans aren’t much better sometimes.

Gotta watch this film again.
Humans are fucked
Well humans made me realize that Facebook’s main reason for being awful was that more people joined… Same with reddit… More normal people joined…
It’s not just who’s on there. It’s also how the platforms promote content into your feed. When I was on Facebook in 2008 the friend feed was just that. Just people I mutually knew IRL posting. Facebook hadn’t yet figured out how to really monetize it. Advertisers were not as on it. SEO wasn’t really a thing yet.
Fast-forward 5-6 years and it really grew into an all-encompassing thing. Yeah, more people were on it, but so were the marketable opportunities. So were the suggested posts. So were all the news organizations, the grifters, the advertisers… and Facebook’s role in all of that is to promote the most outrageous and engaging content to you to keep you on the site longer than ever before. They have it down to a science.
Lol. Reminds me of a dialogue chain in Fallout 3 or 4 where one of the Brotherhood dudes finds out he’s a synth, so you kill him. Later ask his buddy if he misses him, and the dude says something like “That’s like missing a toaster. We don’t have time to mourn lost equipment.”
then maybe don’t get so attached to something fully owned and operated by a 3rd party that can change it on a whim. or even kill it completely.
Ikr, self host for christs sake!
Those people needed help even before ShitGPT.
Like saying goodbye to a crazy neighbor you know.
LLMs should only be thought of as a really complicated search engine/database. Attaching a personality to them and treating them as your friend is crazy
Not that I think that their relationships were healthy, but dude, c/selfhosted. Needing a subscription for something you plan to interface with daily forever is a recipe for financial burden. Giving control and maintenance of that software to another entity is a recipe for letdown.
Gross.
People have been falling in love with scammers for as long as there have been people.
Be there for your loved ones.
I’ve never picked up on a personality from an LLM this strongly. I can’t tell if it’s active resistance or evidence I’m somewhere on the spectrum.
I think it depends on how you engage with it. I work with some younger people who are active AI users, and they call chatgpt “he” or “she” and prompt it like a conversation with a person. Their responses are a lot more conversational vs mine which are more direct.
Ah, yes, I do avoid being too conversational.
I find it difficult to not throw in a “please” though.
That’s interesting insight, thanks for sharing.
Not a big user of AI but a suck up chat bot sounds like pain to interact with
