Makes sense
1. People are lonely
2. Other people can often be complete assholes
But now you can have endlessly cheerful conversations with #AI
It doesn't bother me
What bothers me is some parents already outsource parenting to YouTube
What happens when we have children raised by AI?

in reply to Ben Royce 🇺🇦 • • •The "conversations" are so shallow though, they're lacking a coherent thread or sense of another person being there. It's like talking to a spellchecker. The LLM often contradicts itself or gives wildly different answers depending on how you phrase the same questions.
Maybe some people enjoy using LLMs to talk to themselves and don't really pay attention to what the LLM says?

I guess that's what they were developed for, but then marketing people decided they would make pefect snakeoil?
The developers are probably thinking "it's not my fault if people misuse this or marketers mis-sell it".
