I started using chatbots yesterday and it surprised me how complete and articulate answers are. Main topics would be apparel, sewing, cooking, finance, ETFs, taxes, house maintenance, retirement.
Do you consider AI good enough to substitute human interaction? Because I remember a south park episode where randy marsh ignores his wife to interact exclusively with a bot. A parody of course but we have already plenty of AI porn and AI short stories for gullible people… and it works because they don’t stop watching (and sometimes believe it to be real).
I was always kind of an anti AI guy due to privacy, to avoid LLMs monetizing my questions and because I didn’t want to be a moron who has nothing better to do than to watch AI slop, but this is a tool so pervasive and practical I’m only isolating myself if I opt out of it. Thoughts?
Are there any questions you won’t ask a bot so the company behind it doesn’t monetize your input?
Please do not use llm as a substitute for relationships or relationship counselor or psychologist or so, it’s extremely harmful to you even in ways you can not see. And it doesn’t even tell you the truth, it just tells you what you probably want to hear based on the huge dataset that was fed to it. If you must, use it for work if you are in technical field, but remember we all pay for it with everything that is more expensive because of it (and that includes even food) and of course our environment pays for it dearly.
