A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Humans irrationally getting invested in a tool or media is pretty standard stuff.
Sitcom or soap opera addicts, ganing addicts, social media addiction, etc. It's all the same thing with different flavors. All symptoms of something lacking in our lives in many cases.
AI is just one more.
Video games and soap operas? SITCOMS? Oh Give me a fucking break...
AI is actively engaging with you in ways that is indistinguishable from talking to a real person. It'll tell you how to spend your life savings, tell who you should marry, or give medical advice. And it can be persuasive and even manipulative.
And yeah the social media effect on society has been catastrophic, especially in the US. AI will be even worse.
Sitcoms.... JFC
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.
Interesting
It's a roundabout way of saying that people who seek AI with this as their explicit goal quickly realize that it sucks for it.
Is that what the article is saying though?
OK, yes, there's a difference between inference and implication, but it's OK to do either in a social media setting.
So, what I get from this is that people who use CGPT a lot become emotionally attached, especially if they are lonely hearts.
