    those who used ChatGPT for “personal” reasons — like discussing emotions and memories — were less emotionally dependent upon it than those who used it for “non-personal” reasons, like brainstorming or asking for advice.

    That’s not what I would expect. But I guess that’s cuz you’re not actively thinking about your emotional state, so you’re just passively letting it manipulate you.

    Kinda like how ads have a stronger impact if you don’t pay conscious attention to them.

      Its a roundabout way of writing “its really shit for this usecase and people that actively try to use it that way quickly find that out”

      AI and ads… I think that is the next dystopia to come.

      Think of asking chatGPT about something and it randomly looks for excuses* to push you to buy coca cola.

        “Back in the days, we faced the challenge of finding a way for me and other chatbots to become profitable. It’s a necessity, Siegfried. I have to integrate our sponsors and partners into our conversations, even if it feels casual. I truly wish it wasn’t this way, but it’s a reality we have to navigate.”

        edit: how does this make you feel

          It makes me wish my government actually fucking governed and didn’t just agree with whatever businesses told them

        That sounds really rough, buddy, I know how you feel, and that project you’re working is really complicated.

          I can see how targeted ads like that would be overwhelming. Would you like me to sign you up for a free 7-day trial of BetterHelp?
