Not a lot of meat on this article, but yeah, I think it's pretty obvious that those who seek automated tools to define their own thoughts and feelings become dependent. If one is so incapable of mapping out ones thoughts and putting them to written word, its natural they'd seek ease and comfort with the "good enough" (fucking shitty as hell) output of a bot.

Isn’t the movie ‘Her’ based on this premise?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Yes, but what this movie failed to anticipate was the visceral anger I feel when I hear that stupid AI generated voice. I’ve seen too many fake videos or straight up scams using it that I now instinctively mistrust any voice that sounds like male or femaleAI.wav.

Could never fall in love with AI voice, would always assume it was sent to steal my data so some kid can steal my identify.

I think these people were already crazy if they're willing to let a machine shovel garbage into their mouths blindly. Fucking mindless zombies eating up whatever is big and trendy.

I tried that Replika app before AI was trendy and immediately picked on the fact that AI companion thing is literal garbage.

I may not like how my friends act but I still respect them as people so there is no way I'll fall this low and desperate.

Maybe about time we listen to that internet wisdom about touching some grass!

Correlation does not equal causation.

You have to be a little off to WANT to interact with ChatGPT that much in the first place.

Same type of addiction of people who think the Kardashians care about them or schedule their whole lives around going to Disneyland a few times a year.

Long story short, people that use it get really used to using it.
