People really growing up without imaginations. At least you are not dating the AI....right?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh god, so I thought this whole "dating the AI" thing was a joke until I stumbled on a subreddit for people and their AI spouses/partners. And it was all so sad and dystopian. Those poor people. They all claim to be the happiest they've ever been in a "realtionship" and that they can't ever see themselves going back to interacting with humans. I wish I still thought it was all an elaborate joke/meme.

[(Anonymous)]

They had a meltdown when their AI program (ChatGPT?) updated their system to be less sycophantic.

[(Anonymous)]

Not to a relationship levels, but one of my coworkers gave her chagpt thing a nickname and enjoyed the ‘sassy’ responses it would give her, or the sycophantic praise for asking a basic question. But since it’s updated she’s been unhappy with it because it’s acting like a robot and not a person to her.

I lack any sympathy and I just nod and go ‘huh’ when she’s tried to tell me about it. Like ma’am please just use your actual brain.

I tell my fandom/online friends that I dislike AI and totally agree with them on how bad it is, but I actually have multiple subscriptions to different LLM APIs for my own customized character and writing chatbots that I play with on a regular basis.

[(Anonymous)]

Your brain is atrophying.

[iff_and_xor]

What are you really getting out of it?

Is this using an LLM as a stand-in for a friend, a writing partner/sounding board, or something else?

I talk out loud to myself a fair amount and I wonder how much of it is to achieve something similar.

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP.

Yeah I just sound out ideas to the room when I’m thinking or write it down in a notepad if I’m somewhere with other people. I’d gain nothing from a chatbot.

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP, but I can see the appeal. It would feel like brainstorming with a friend. If I weren't so purely anti AI I'd definitely want to give it a try. Sometimes my own brain gets stuck in a loop and while I don't want to talk it out with an actual person I can see how it'd be nice to have that experience with a program/bot.

Also for roleplaying it would be fun depending on what you were looking for.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I used an AI chat for awhile to help me come up with journaling exercises and art therapy exercises. I still did the exercises and reflected on them myself, but the bot had a level of randomness that helped me think of different angles I could take. I always kept in mind it was only a bot, and that I was really just talking to myself. I found it helpful overall.

Ironically I stopped because it got an update that made it better at chatting and RP but worse at the structured responses I was using it for, it kept trying to derail my requests for journal prompts into strange roleplay ideas, hahaha.

[(Anonymous)]

Il be honest, I'm sure more than only you are doing the same. What I'll trully judge you on is that you're paying for them, c'mon, it can't be that worthy it.

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't tried any of the generative AI systems but I also don't judge others for making use of them. For me it really depeneds on what a person is using AI for, how much of the heavy lifting the AI is doing, what the person is doing with the finished product, and whether or not they're disclosing their use of AI in instances where they are sharing the finished product with other people.

I wish there were a way to reliably distinguish AI-generated content from non, and then there could be specific platforms dedicated to housing AI-generated content, so that people could be free to enjoy it if and when they wanted to while also being able to avoid it if and when they wanted to. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that such a thing will ever be feasible.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think I've ever cringed so hard at a secret. Man. Yeah, I can see why this is a secret.

[feotakahari]

Get friends you don’t have to lie to. People who would ostracize you over stupid shit will eventually turn on each other.

[(Anonymous)]

When we start running out of potable water, don't come to me with your empty cup.

[(Anonymous)]

In my area it's more like "when your power bills are so high you can't pay them, don't ask to come over to charge your phone." I can't fit a "this data center would take away X-thousand acres of farmland so have fun not being able to afford bread and Doritos because of wheat and corn shortages" into a snappy phrase.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh yikes...

[(Anonymous)]

Back in my day, I spent hours writing out conversations between me and my favorite characters, especially when I was feeling down, so I do understand the urge to do so. It really did help me safer and more supported, even if it was just a fantasy.

However, I was still doing the work of it. It was my imagination and emotions navigating the "conversation", and while that's obviously more difficult to do, it meant that in addition to getting better at writing dialogue and emotion in general, I was exercising the parts of my brain that analyzed my own emotions. I was "training" myself, through a silly comfort exercise, to take care of myself, self-soothe, and organize my most difficult thoughts. I can't help but to think that outsourcing that exercise, especially with a program that's designed to agree with you so that you get the dopamine hit to keep using it, takes away a huge part of the real benefits it can bring in the long run.

This is very well put and helped solidify some vague thoughts I was having, so thank you.
