those who used ChatGPT for “personal” reasons — like discussing emotions and memories — were less emotionally dependent upon it than those who used it for “non-personal” reasons, like brainstorming or asking for advice.
Interesting
It’s a roundabout way of saying that people who seek AI with this as their explicit goal quickly realize that it sucks for it.
Is that what the article is saying though?
OK, yes, there’s a difference between inference and implication, but it’s OK to do either in a social media setting.
Currently revising for a psychology exam on human-automation interaction and from what they’ve taught us, this makes a lot of sense because automating skills (like idea generation and decision-making) makes your own skills degrade from lack of use. There’s decades of evidence on pilots’ use of autopilot saying that the ones who lack confidence in their skills use it most. So it’s a vicious cycle. You lack confidence in your ability to make a decision or generate good ideas, so you unload it onto a bot (an unexplainable one whose methods, rationale and evidence is obscured from you) and your skills in the whole decision-making process of researching, evaluating and synthesising evidence begin to decay. And this increases your reliance on the AI to do these things for you. .
especially in colleges, i can see alot of them washing out of colleges or even in the field.
Whether you’re using ChatGPT text or voice, asking it personal questions, or just brainstorming for work, it seems that the longer you use the chatbot, the more likely you are to become emotionally dependent upon it.
Humans irrationally getting invested in a tool or media is pretty standard stuff.
Sitcom or soap opera addicts, ganing addicts, social media addiction, etc. It’s all the same thing with different flavors. All symptoms of something lacking in our lives in many cases.
AI is just one more.
Video games and soap operas? SITCOMS? Oh Give me a fucking break…
AI is actively engaging with you in ways that is indistinguishable from talking to a real person. It’ll tell you how to spend your life savings, tell who you should marry, or give medical advice. And it can be persuasive and even manipulative.
And yeah the social media effect on society has been catastrophic, especially in the US. AI will be even worse.
Sitcoms… JFC
Why do people use LLMs for that purpose?
How fucking stupid are people to give their lifes reins to a fucking chatbot company?
“Buy the OpenAI stocks, you’ll earn big.”
“Show me your nudes, I won’t mail them to our staff.”
“Don’t disclose breaches, jump off the bridge instead.”
People are fucking stupid. Period.
Remember “us sane people” making fun of Facebook, only to watch everyone use it within 5 years? Or the recent short video trend? And now intelligent, well informed young people link you shorts of completely unverified claims as facts.
People are fucking stupid. Everyone who claims not to be is stupid and in denial.

Reins, as in control or steering leather ropes used for horses
Reign could also kinda work as it means dominion over usually in the form of a monarch and people confuse the 2 in Colloquial phrases all the timeThanks for the correction.

So, what I get from this is that people who use CGPT a lot become emotionally attached, especially if they are lonely hearts.
Can they write more than one paragraph before publishing? Lol
Attachment causes misery in general. Also in relationships to humans.
