Sounds like a lot of these people either have an undiagnosed mental illness or they are really, reeeeaaaaalllyy gullible.
For shit's sake, it's a computer. No matter how sentient the glorified chatbot being sold as "AI" appears to be, it's essentially a bunch of rocks that humans figured out how to jet electricity through in such a way that it can do math. Impressive? I mean, yeah. It is. But it's not a human, much less a living being of any kind. You cannot have a relationship with it beyond that of a user.
If a computer starts talking to you as though you're some sort of God incarnate, you should probably take that with a dump truck full of salt rather then just letting your crazy latch on to that fantasy and run wild.
Or immediately question what it/its author(s) stand to gain from making you think it thinks so, at a bear minimum.
I dunno who needs to hear this, but just in case: THE STRIPPER (OR AI I GUESS) DOESN'T REALLY LOVE YOU! THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO SPEND TIME WITH YOU!
I know it's not the perfect analogy, but... eh, close enough, right?
a bear minimum.
I always felt that was too much of a burden to put on people, carrying multiple bears everywhere they go to meet bear minimums.
/facepalm
The worst part is I know I looked at that earlier and was just like, "yup, no problems here" and just went along with my day, like I'm in the Trump administration or something
I chuckled... it happens! And it blessed us with this funny exchange.
For real. I explicitly append "give me the actual objective truth, regardless of how you think it will make me feel" to my prompts and it still tries to somehow butter me up to be some kind of genius for asking those particular questions or whatnot. Luckily I've never suffered from good self esteem in my entire life, so those tricks don't work on me :p
How do we know you're not an AI bot?
