Finally witnessed somebody use ChatGPT instead of socialising
A few colleagues and I were sat at our desks the other day, and one of them asked the group, "if you were an animal, what animal would you be?"
I answered with my favourite animal, and we had a little discussion about it. My other colleague answered with two animals, and we tossed those answers back and forth, discussing them and making jokes. We asked the colleague who had asked the question what they thought they'd be, and we discussed their answer.
Regular, normal, light-hearted (time wasting lol) small talk at work between friendly coworkers.
We asked the fourth coworker. He said he'd ask ChatGPT.
It was a really weird moment. We all just kind of sat there. He said the animal it came back with, and that was that. Any further discussion was just "yeah that's what it said" and we all just sort of went back to our work.
That was weird, right? Using ChatGPT for what is clearly just a little bit of friendly small talk? There's no bad blood between any of us, we hang out a lot, but it just struck me as really weird and a little bit sad.
You dont know whats going on in his head. This label just oversimplifies his behavior putting a stigma on the guy. People should try to be more understanding or abstain from having an opinion on others.
if whatever is going on in your head results in "ask chatgpt about a personal question with no correct answer", that's fuckin' weird and should absolutely be stigmatized. don't like it? then don't be fucking weird about chatbots.
That doesnt achieve anything good, calling people weird is a toxic reaction to them showing symptoms of the diseases of today's society. It just aggravates the situation, its mean.
they're so touchy about it and stuck on "oh noes that's mean :(" that i'm beginning to suspect the post makes them feel insecure about their own chatbot addiction.
