    I tried having a conversation with ChatGPT. It’s annoyingly predictable. Imagine the most boring, chronically helpful therapist who is always brimming with obvious advice, and that’s what you get.

    I get that people are lonely, but we’re still much closer to ELIZA than Her.

    At one point, I thought I’d turned it off, and I saw a pelican, and I said to my dog, ‘Oh, wow, a pelican!’ And my AirPod went, ‘A pelican, huh? That’s so exciting for you! What’s it doing?’

    I’m sorry but how does this impress anyone? It’s like a conversation with autocorrect.

    Its basically a parrot with no long term memory. The fact that there are people out there that talk to it for hours does not surpise me. Its just sad. Because people do that because they dont have anyone. Theyre alone and theyd be happy to talk to anyone and anything if they could.

      To be fair, chat bots previoulsy were not anywhere near as complex as they are now. This, imo, would warrent further discussion because of how significantly more advanced they are.
