    I was having lunch at a restaurant a couple of months back, and overheard two women (~55 y/o) sitting behind me. One of them talked about how she used ChatGPT to decide if her partner was being unreasonable. I think this is only gonna get more normal.

      A decade ago she would have been seeking that validation from her friends. ChatGPT is just a validation machine, like an emotional vibrator.

    Two options.

    1. Dump her ass yesterday.

    2. She trusts ChatGPT. Treat it like a mediator. Use it yourself. Feed her arguments back into it, and ask it to rebut them.

    Either option could be a good one. The former is what I’d do, but the latter provides some emotional distance.

    The thing that people don’t understand yet is that LLMs are “yes men”.

    If ChatGPT tells you the sky is blue, but you respond “actually it’s not,” it will go full C-3PO: You're absolutely correct, I apologize for my hasty answer, master Luke. The sky is in fact green.

    Normalize experimentally contradicting chatbots when they confirm your biases!

    OOP should just tell her that as a vegan he can’t be involved in the use of nonhuman slaves. Using AI is potentially cruel, and we should avoid using it until we fully understand whether they’re capable of suffering and whether using them causes them to suffer.

      Maybe hypothetically in the future, but it’s plainly obvious to anyone who has a modicum of understanding regarding how LLMs actually work that they aren’t even anywhere near being close to what anyone could possibly remotely consider sentient.

        Sentient and capable of suffering are two different things. Ants aren’t sentient, but they have a neurological pain response. Drag thinks LLMs are about as smart as ants. Whether they can feel suffering like ants can is an unsolved scientific question that we need to answer BEFORE we go creating entire industries of AI slave labour.

          I PROMISE everyone ants are smarter than a 2024 LLM. (edit to add:) Claiming they’re not sentient is a big leap.

          But I’m glad you recognise they can feel pain!

          Sentient and capable of suffering are two different things.

          Technically true, but in the opposite way to what you’re thinking. All those capable of suffering are by definition sentient, but sentience doesn’t necessitate suffering.

          Whether they can feel suffering like ants can is an unsolved scientific question

          No it isn’t, unless you subscribe to a worldview in which sentience could exist everywhere all at once instead of under special circumstances, which would demand you grant ethical consideration to every rock on the ground in case it’s somehow sentient.

      I love the idea of this. Eventually the couple doesn’t argue anymore. Anytime they have a disagreement they just type it into the computer and then watch TV together on the couch while ChatGPT argues with itself, and then eventually there’s a “ding” noise and the couple finds out which of them won the argument.

      This isn’t bad on it’s face. But I’ve got this lingering dread that we’re going to state seeing more nefarious responses at some point in the future.

        That’s where AI search/chat is really headed. That’s why so many companies with ad networks are investing in it. You can’t block ads if they’re baked into LLM responses.

      Yeah I was thinking he obviously needs to start responding with chat gpt. Maybe they could just have the two phones use audio mode and have the argument for them instead. Reminds me of that old Star Trek episode where instead of war, belligerent nations just ran a computer simulation of the war and then each side humanely euthanized that many people.

          Oh yeah totally—I meant that as an absurd joke haha.

          I’m also a little disturbed that people trust chatGPT enough to outsource their relationship communication to it. Every time I’ve tried to run it through it’s paces it seems super impressive and lifelike, but as soon as I try and use it for work subjects I know fairly well, it becomes clear it doesn’t know what’s going on and that it’s basically just making shit up.

            I like it as a starting point to a subject I’m going to research. It seems to have mostly the right terminology and a rough idea of what those mean. This helps me to then make more accurate searches on the subject matter.

    The solution here is obvious. Use ChatGPT to rebut her ChatGPT-generated arguments. Since it’s now a bot arguing with a bot, it cancels out.

      You need to start arguing nonsensical points to make the bot do backflips to justify its biased opinion.

    Just stop talking to her

    If she asks why … just tell her you’ve skipped the middle man and you’re just talking to chatgpt now

    She obviously doesn’t want to be part of the conversation
