The Kavernacle has videos on this. He talks about how it's eroding emotional connection in society and having people offload their thikcing onto chatgpt. I think this is a problem But my main issue i'm most passionate about is the issue of misinformation. In the process of writing thsi post i did an experiment and asked it some questiosn about autism. I asked them waht autsitic burnout is. They gave an explanation that's incorrect, and furthers the incorrect assumption alot of pepole make that i'ts something specific to autistic people. But it's a wider phenomon of physiological neurocongitive burnout. I confronted them on this they refined their position then I asked them why they said it. It constnatly contradicts itself and will just be like yeah you are correct i am wrong, while continuing to not repeat the same incorrect claim. https://i.imgur.com/KINH7lV.png https://i.imgur.com/EHtDwNj.png According to chatgpt their own sentence contradicts itself. They also proceeded to tell invent a new usage of a very obscure medical term that is not widely used then try to gaslight me into believing it's a commonly jused term among autsitic people whne it isn't https://i.imgur.com/LStZdNg.png
And what frustrates me even more is a couple months ago i had someone swear to me up and down that, the hallucinations in chatgpt were fixed and they ain't that bad anymore. Granted, they were far worse in the past. It litaerlly tol dme autims level system was something that no longer exists despite it being currently widely used.
But here's the problem. I am an expert on this topic. Most people aren't asking chatgpt questions about things they are an expert in, and they also are using it as a therapist.
All in all i wasn't expecting it to have no hallucinations but i was atelast expecting it to not still be a massive issue in just basic information retrival on topics that aren't even super obscure and information si widely available about.
Ultimately here's the issue. The vast majority of pro-genai people don't know what genai actually is and why it is bad to use it in the way they are as a result. GenAI is a very advanced from of predictive text function. It just predicts what it thinks the words following that queery is based on the tereabytes maybe evne petabytes of infromation it's scrapped from the internet. Which means it's not really useful for anything beyond very basic things like asking it to generate simple ideas or summarize an article or video and very basic coding. I only dabble very lighlty in programming but frmo hwat i've heard actaul experienced programmers say it trying to use chatgpt for major coding just means having to rewrite most of the code.

And honestly i think the main reason is that i feel like i worry too much about my own self-image and have had bad experiences with other hoomins on the interwebs being absolute assholes to me cuz i told them im a commie in confidence only for them to share it with their friends who then went on to harass me and idk i just feel like because the robot wont talk about me behind my back i dont feel as much weighing me down talking about more sensitive stuff to it
I thought you were a penguin? You're a fake penguin, A huamn pretend to be one.
Mr. The Fake Penguin the answer is to find better friends. maybe try joining an online communist group or something. Also i'm ckinda confused cause you say and like you are refreencing something but ikd what you are referencing.
Wait a sec, what you said up there sounds exactly like what that guy said to me that I'm "pretending to be Russian"
You are, you admitted it you are a human pretending to be a penguin.
ok why are you so eerily sounding so similar to that guy saying i'm pretending to be russian
not sure who you are talking about, i just don't like pretenders.
It was a joke, a la "in the internet nobody knows you're a dog". But adding to his point, yes, you need better friends.
Maybe join the Genzedong matrix server? It was a pretty chill place back when I used it.
Also if you have access, consider therapy. One of the greatest advantages psychologists have over LLMs is that they are able to disagree with you. That could help you with whatever thoughts you're struggling with, without having to care about being judged.
yeah i was in communist groups and still am, it was just that the roblox elevator community is a shithole filled with people who make being anticommunist their whole personality and harass anyone who dares to say anything positive about the CPC
I had some drama in the past with someone from the Roblox Elevator Community (i alr made posts about what a shithole that place is) and i thought someone was cool but they turned on me
