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.
This thread is hilarious to us all. I’m sorry you have to go through this but it is, indeed, a great illustration of your point. The other commenter is making very large assumptions and the goalpost is moving so fast it might actually be on wheels. Oh and a new slippery slope just dropped : using ChatGPT will now worsen your communication skills (for unspecified reasons, according to bad communicators wholly unfamiliar with the matter at hand).
I think you missed an opportunity. It would have been much simpler to post “Does anyone else think AI kinda bad ?” and raked in all the accolades and upvotes.
Slippery slope? My very first statement was about communication skills and we have been talking about that ever since.
Well I’m saying non-critical things about gen-AI on Lemmy of all places. I can’t say I expected any other kind of response. Thus unpopular opinion.
