Whether you're using ChatGPT text or voice, asking it personal questions, or just brainstorming for work, it seems that the longer you use the chatbot, the more likely you are to become emotionally dependent upon it.
especially in colleges, i can see alot of them washing out of colleges or even in the field.
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
Why do people use LLMs for that purpose?
How fucking stupid are people to give their lifes rains to a fucking chatbot company?
"Buy the OpenAI stocks, you'll earn big."
"Show me your nudes, I won't mail them to our staff."
"Don't disclose breaches, jump off the bridge instead."
Attachment causes misery in general. Also in relationships to humans.
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.
