Finally witnessed somebody use ChatGPT instead of socialising (lemmy.world)

A few colleagues and I were sat at our desks the other day, and one of them asked the group, "if you were an animal, what animal would you be?"

I answered with my favourite animal, and we had a little discussion about it. My other colleague answered with two animals, and we tossed those answers back and forth, discussing them and making jokes. We asked the colleague who had asked the question what they thought they'd be, and we discussed their answer.

Regular, normal, light-hearted (time wasting lol) small talk at work between friendly coworkers.

We asked the fourth coworker. He said he'd ask ChatGPT.

It was a really weird moment. We all just kind of sat there. He said the animal it came back with, and that was that. Any further discussion was just "yeah that's what it said" and we all just sort of went back to our work.

That was weird, right? Using ChatGPT for what is clearly just a little bit of friendly small talk? There's no bad blood between any of us, we hang out a lot, but it just struck me as really weird and a little bit sad.

This made me think of that "I Think you Should Leave" sketch where Tim Robinson's character feels left out at the office for not having a funny YouTube video to watch, so the next day he tells them he has one and it's a video he created and posted the night before with only one view and they all immediately know he made it but he pretends he just found it lol

Off course it's bullshit. It doesn't give a fuck favortite animals and can't feel anything not even about humans let alone animals. If you asked it about Israel/Palesine and it would tell you it's "sensitive complicated topic" because it's been scrabbing zionist-influenced western news and does not give a fuck and cannot give a fuck about kids straved and getting maimed and amputed , THAT IS if it's not pre-forcablly censored about the topic already.

Clearest example of outsourcing thought to an AI model
