Like saying goodbye to a crazy neighbor you know.

Countdown to articles (that take themselves very seriously) about people getting really upset over the term “clanker lover”
Clanker wanker?
AI lovers ought to go touch grass
Gross.
That’s pretty pathetic!
I’ve never picked up on a personality from an LLM this strongly. I can’t tell if it’s active resistance or evidence I’m somewhere on the spectrum.
I think it depends on how you engage with it. I work with some younger people who are active AI users, and they call chatgpt “he” or “she” and prompt it like a conversation with a person. Their responses are a lot more conversational vs mine which are more direct.
Ah, yes, I do avoid being too conversational.
I find it difficult to not throw in a “please” though.
That’s interesting insight, thanks for sharing.
I’ll keep the “please” and “thanks” just in case it becomes our AI overlord and place us in human zoos. If you are nice you might be promoted as the main breeder of your enclosure.
Adding please and thank you also wastes resources c:
Adding a “please” and a “thank you” is probably good practice, literally, for communicating with sentient beings or simulacra thereof.
#NotTheOnion Just to be clear on that one.
Pathetic bunch of lads and gals.
… dude.
They still exist bro. Just use a different frontend like t3 chat.
The people you are responding to don’t hang around here.
That’s raises the question why it was posted here
Nah, think of it this way:
We are not in that group. Someone passing by observed that group, found surprising things going on, and then they posted a story to tell our group all about it.
That’s not the only way to slice it, but, it’s the one I was working under with my original comment.
Fair enough
Yeah you can tell ChatGPT-5 to act like 4o. You can even put it into a permanent system prompt. I do think the 4o personality was much chummier, but I’m mainly irritated at what’s already been mentioned here. You put down money for an experience, you like the experience, and then they’re like YOINK.
then maybe don’t get so attached to something fully owned and operated by a 3rd party that can change it on a whim. or even kill it completely.
Ikr, self host for christs sake!
LLMs should only be thought of as a really complicated search engine/database. Attaching a personality to them and treating them as your friend is crazy
They should not even be thought of as that, that is how you get people to think they can replace actual search engines with llms.
What do you even get back in search engines that is better? Ads? The AI articles that are wrong anyways?
Yeah GPT is not great, but the better alternative is not search engines.
Humans are fucked
Well humans made me realize that Facebook’s main reason for being awful was that more people joined… Same with reddit… More normal people joined…
It’s not just who’s on there. It’s also how the platforms promote content into your feed. When I was on Facebook in 2008 the friend feed was just that. Just people I mutually knew IRL posting. Facebook hadn’t yet figured out how to really monetize it. Advertisers were not as on it. SEO wasn’t really a thing yet.
Fast-forward 5-6 years and it really grew into an all-encompassing thing. Yeah, more people were on it, but so were the marketable opportunities. So were the suggested posts. So were all the news organizations, the grifters, the advertisers… and Facebook’s role in all of that is to promote the most outrageous and engaging content to you to keep you on the site longer than ever before. They have it down to a science.
Those people needed help even before ShitGPT.
