On average, my discussions with chatGPT are more pleasant and insightful than the ones I have with real humans
The best conversations I still have are with real people, but those are rare. With ChatGPT, I reliably have good conversations, whereas with people, it’s hit or miss, usually miss.
What AI does better:
- It’s willing to discuss esoteric topics. Most humans prefer to talk about people and events.
- It’s not driven by emotions or personal bias.
- It doesn’t make mean, snide, sarcastic, ad hominem, or strawman responses.
- It understands and responds to my actual view, even from a vague description, whereas humans often misunderstand me and argue against views I don’t hold.
- It tells me when I’m wrong but without being a jerk about it.
Another noteworthy point is that I’m very likely on the autistic spectrum, and my mind works differently than the average person’s, which probably explains, in part, why I struggle to maintain interest with human-to-human interactions.
You're viewing a single thread.
This just sounds like platonic masturbation.
EDIT: I started this thread tongue and cheek, but also genuine, but based on the OP's comment replies here I'm fairly convinced that they are either: a) talking to chatGPT so much that they've lost the ability to hold a coherent conversation, or b) just using a LLM to respond everywhere in the comments. They've consistently failed to address tone and context in every comment. It reads like they don't actually understand any of the things people here are saying, just stringing together some words and syntax that sounds like language, but totally lacks any actual meaning or understanding.
I hope you atleast see the irony in making a response like that to this thread.
What is the irony?
It doesn’t make mean, snide, sarcastic, ad hominem, or strawman responses.
I wasn't trying to be mean. I have no shame about masturbation. I wasn't being sarcastic or snide. I meant what I said genuinely and without prejudice. You're using a machine because it's easy, self fulfilling, and you don't have to worry about the complexities of interacting with another person. How is that any different than using a vibrator? If you feel shame about this or using a sex toy by yourself, maybe you should reflect on those feelings and analyze if they are helping you or hurting you.
Sorry about misinterpreting your tone then. In that case I simply just don't understand what you're trying to say there or why what I said made you feel that way.
What part wasn't clear that I didn't explain in my previous comment?
I don't understand how that's what you got out of my post or how this relates to it. Responding feels like defending a view I don't hold.
I think you prefer the chatbot because it wil only talk about whatever you want to talk about. Real people have their own thoughts and experiences, and in a typical conversation both people express those based on their perception of life and the topic at hand. But you can't seem to handle hearing other people's perspectives because they deviate from your own thoughts and perceptions. To you, this is other people misunderstanding you. But I think they do understand. They're just not hyperfocused on discussing exactly what you want to discuss in the way you want to discuss it, and tbh that's not something you should expect any human to do.
Most people like that are unable to steelman my position when asked. That how I know they infact don't understand what I'm actually saying and thus are arguing against a view I don't hold.
Despite your resolve, none of what you just said is actually coherent or shows any understanding of the above comment in context, just like an LLM.
Talking to you is like talking to a chat bot and I don't like it.
There's an easy solution for that.
