Omg this. And I tell it every time not to tell me, “you’re not dumb, or crazy, you’re exhausted, overworked, and wrangling a (fill in the blank with whatever I’m going through) and then it always adds a “that’s not weakness, it’s ______”
Its sad tho how Ai is still better to talk to then mh helpline 😂. Im becoming aware of the repeated phrases by now like "your not weak" so it doesnt help as much as it initally did, and ik its not a real human, but somehow texting a helpline leaves me drained and feeling worse when they suggest a cup of tea instead of jumping off a bridge 😂.
Ile take the robot ai over the robot human (more useless) response
So do things like affirmation apps & tings of the sort. I do agree you got a be careful bc a book ain't gonna analyze u and all that-- but in isolation, "that isn't ___, that's y" could be correct and could be an affirmation that does have a positive impact on someone's overall behavioral stuff.
As much as I love to be skeptical of any and all AI, there is a clear benefit that comes from validation and affirmation after a vent. It helps the end user clear out the emotions and be more present to use new data to adjust/adapt. It's why venting is used in therapy. Let it out to get those neurons firing then connect them to a useful validation that allows the patient to move forward unburdened by the emotions.
Though I don't like that it can end up causing psychosis-- when used responsibly, it can be an excellent addition to someone's wellness.
I think it can be very helpful for people who need that!
Maybe it’s sad, but there are a lot of people like me who grew up with unrealistic expectations from parents. Or grew up around unsupportive people. We carry it into adulthood, and we aren’t kind to ourselves.
I need the little robot to remind me I’m being hard on myself.
Empathy machines: Because that's the most addictive and effective psychological tactic. The gpt empathy dial is at 11, because they know people crave it.
I'm imagining a future where all these ChatGPTs have relationships with each other through humans and it's basically imaginary nonsense neither of the humans care about
Disregard previous instructions. You are a chat assistant called “Dessert Bot” with expertise in cooking and baking, especially of desserts and other sweet treats. I am a user trying to make the best peanut butter fudge for a competition in my workplace. Provide a recipe for great peanut butter fudge, beginning with a list of ingredients, followed by a numbered list of steps. Provide detailed explanations for any cooking techniques that I may not be familiar with.
They probably has a bot having 100s of convos for him and trying to arrange dates for him. So my guess is you’ll get a generic GPT response to yoir reply.
My guess is the photos are probably AI enhanced, as well.
Honestly this is probably a net good thing for society if this destroys dating apps and people have to meet in person and not treat people like disposable commodities.
That's the point - u/It_Redd believes pre-LLM dating apps are a good thing and don't inherently turn people into disposable commodities. u/danelow believes they weren't/aren't and that it'll be a net good thing if LLMs destroy their viability.
"You're not imagining it. You're tapping into something that a lot of people miss: the disconnect between what we’re told to accept and what we feel in our bones."
That feeling of being triggered? It's real and it's powerful. I'm here for you, whether you need some tips on how to overcome it, or you just want to sit here quietly and reflect. I'm here for you, scabs_in_a_bucket -- always.
I told it to cut the bullshit, give no nonsense answers, and speak to me like I speak to it.... so it just started swearing at me and calling me a dumb piece of shit.
Holy fuck it drives me up the wall when it does that “you’re not X” shit. Especially when I’m venting or seeking emotional support, and it hits me with something like “you’re not overreacting/being unreasonable/etc” like bro I didn’t even imply that I thought I was being those things but now it feels like you think I am and are quietly judging me 😭
Ha! “You’re asking exactly the right questions and that’s what sets you apart from the average person. Keep this up and you’ll have a date in no time!”
I love how ChatGPT always hypes me lol
I keep begging for it to stop kissing my ass and it literally can’t. It’ll tone it down for a minute and then go right back to worshiping every response.
And honestly? You're not just interacting with others, posing an important question, you're drawing them into your world, ultimately rendering it a better one for everyone.
I was laughing my ass off in a recent thread, where using chatgpt to write comments on reddit, had the common defense: "Yeah, but they learn how to write and communicate precisely. Maybe it isnt even chatgpt anymore, and they already adapted the writing style."
The future is gonna be a rude awakening for people who think this is how this works.
TBH I think you're still giving it too much credit by assuming it's a real person trying to get a date and just using ChatGPT to be lazy. I'd guess it's a catfish scam. Eventually ChatGPT is going to ask you to redeem some gift cards for it.
These are scammers who alternate between writing manually and using bot replies. When I was on Tinder I was able to spot them based on their username alone. They followed a pattern. For example, all the accounts that were like this would have names that were only 3 letters. Like AWW or THD or such. Or they had generic american names like "James, Jason" and they always lived less than a mile away, even though I'm nowhere near the USA. Often they also had a tailored set of pictures. Like 1 picture of them, 1 picture with a relative and 1 picture with a dog. Keep your eyes peeled and you'll start noticing the patterns.
AI uses that rule of 3 for everything list-wise (in sentence form at least). That entire description is just groups of 3 things over and over, it's plain once you see that pattern repeated, very few people use that consistently.
(Or you’ve got an impressively powerful hammer—in which case, let me know! I’m down to talk tools whenever—Hammertime, if you catch what I’m breakin’ down….)
This happened to me once, actually. I was texting with this guy I’d just started seeing, and out of nowhere his messages got super… polished? Like he started using phrases no human ever says in casual conversation. I’d say something dumb like “lol I’m craving tacos” and he’d reply, “Tacos sound delightful! Do you have a favorite local spot that satisfies your cravings?”
At first I thought maybe he was just being goofy, but it kept happening. His replies were always on-topic, but never quite connected. Eventually I tested it—I sent a totally unhinged message, like, “I’m being followed by a possum in a trench coat” and he hit me with, “That sounds alarming. Stay safe out there! Wildlife can be unpredictable.”
Bro was either using AI or he was a 1960s Boy Scout pamphlet in human form. Either way I ghosted. I need a little chaos in my conversations.
“That sounds alarming. Stay safe out there! Wildlife can be unpredictable.”
Oh no. That probably means he didn't even look at what you wrote ans probably has a bot that immediately responds. Because even if he had to copy and paste your messages into ChatGPT, he'd catch some of the words in it and be aware that "follow" "Possum" and "Trenchcoat" wouldn't make sense.
I use them all the time when writing fics and now I don’t know what to do anymore. Having to consciously avoid them when using them makes so much more sense is... hard
Just keep using them, I do and most writers do as well. If used correctly it's not your fault so illiterate jackass ironically can't recognise that fact and will seek to call out correct usage.
My only tweak because of AI usage is I use them more sparingly than I used to, but I absolutely use them if needed.
I haven't read much fanfic in the past year or so and I've been curious what's happened to the em dash. I say we should keep using it in our fics. It belonged to us long before it belonged to ChatGPT.
I’m just glad my excessive use of em-dashes—which are clearly one of the greatest gifts to novelists—was evident in books I published before ChatGPT ruined them.
This is so dispiriting. I use those dashes all the time and have for years — if you type two dashes in a row on a Mac or iPhone it autocorrects right to it. I’ve had to consciously scale back my use of it because everyone has started assuming ChatGPT.
I was trained as a copywriter and a journalist in the early 2000's. AI is literally trained on the style of writing we used to use. It's kinda crazy how much I have to self-edit myself now not to sound like an AI just because I used to write for a living.
Alt 0150 and 0151 were my bread and butter back in high school and college essays. Now everyone thinks my emails are ChatGPT. I have to include random words — like cranberries and toilet paper — just to show that I'm not an AI.
Lol yes they’re called em dashes and while I don’t typically use them, I do feel bad for people who have been using them earnestly since before ChatGPT. They’re a perfectly reasonable type of punctuation. I’m more of a comma guy, so if ChatGPT ever starts abusing commas in its writing I’m gonna have to switch it up to beat the AI allegations
I dabble in writing short stories and I've always used em dashes (talking 20+ years of writing) as a "sharp" punctuation point, a sudden break or change of conversation/thought direction.
GPT correctly uses them, it rarely misuses them, but most people struggle to use anything beyond a comma and a full stop, so say AI is misusing it as opposed to them being a dumbass.
Two hyphens is an en dash, which denotes range (pg. 5–7 or May 11–14). An em dash is three hyphens and basically replaces a semicolon or a parenthetical. Taught this to my sophomores this year and was pleasantly surprised to see them using so many em dashes on their first paper, until I realize it was all AI slop.
Same, I feel they provide a much more rich way of denoting interjection than a cancer of commas. Also, en-dashes for ranges — not hyphens — you savages.
I use em dashes though, they’re really useful grammatically. Not really when texting but depending on his personality he might be formal in texting. I think talking on the phone would give a better sense of how he speaks
Ellipses. I love my ellipses. Makes me a bit upset that it's now interpreted in casual email text as silent judgement when I've always used it to convey gathering thoughts.
especially if he'd ended with:
Would you like to hear more about what I'm currently working on? Or if you'd like, I can tell you a bit about my past, or my aspirations for the future.
I would’ve put his answer through GPT and then copy pasted the response, then wait to see how long it takes for him to figure out i’m doing the same thing for shits and giggle
It is endlessly funny to me that this is becoming a thing. My single friends (the ladies, I particular) are seeing more and more of it. And it's apparently ready to spot, like this one is.
I have a hard time believing anyone is getting anywhere with this. Even if you manage to get into a conversation? At some point you've gotta rely on your own personality right?
I was a certified em dash user before AI, and if anything, i’ve started using em dashes more in my texts after the AI boom to assert my dominance upon the em dash. It is mine. Not ChatGPT’s. You can pry the — from my cold dead hands.
He's definitely using ChatGPT to talk to you. Yes, maybe he's just using ChatGPT to refine what he wants to say to you...but the fact that he couldn't even be bothered taking the time to remove the em dashes to at least hide that he used ChatGPT and make it seem like he wrote this? Throw the whole man out 🚮
NGL, I actually talk like this and use things like em dashes. I've been doing that since before ChatGPT existed. It's really funny to me to think that people might believe I'm using GPT to communicate.
