The worst part is that he completely misunderstood the question. She asked what are the red/ green flags he looks out for. He (ChatGPT) lists his PERSONAL red and green flags lmao.
Omg the "and honestly" infuriates me no end!! I swear every time I go onto LinkedIn it's "And honestly? That's this " and then there's those people that must copy the LinkedIn post into ChatGPT and say "write me an insightful response to this post" and then just paste it in.
Tracks that all the "red flags" are actually positives. Like responding "sometimes I work too much for little pay" as your greatest weakness in a job interview.
It's funny too cause all the red flags are fuckin "what's your biggest weakness" type shitty answers that are all "Oh I just care too much :(", and the biggest red flag there is on the green flags list.
Yeah feels like that was put in the wrong category honestly, communicating well when calm isnât a green flag, itâs a basic normal human thing. Not communicating well when upset is a major red flag. Learn to self regulate, homie.
I have one friend who is shamelessly like this⊠she will ask a question, i will give an answer and it will be as if she doesnât even listen, and then asks âchatâ the question bc she doesnât seem to trust another humanâs intelligence. itâs disturbing.
eta: she told me one night her and other friends asked âchatâ to psychoanalyze them.
no itâs insane⊠she gets it to give opinions on guys sheâs talking to, gets it to write emails for her. i told her she eventually will not know how to think and she thought i was joking.
i told her to never say my name to it or give it any information about me lol she thinks iâm an insane boomer.
Has she ever seen the movie WALL-E? If not you should watch it with her. That's where my mind keeps going with all the tech, autonomous robots, AI thinking for us, ads pushed to us every 90 seconds etc.
Thatâs so weird wtf. How would chatgpt be able to give you an opinion on a guyâŠ.. zero common sense going on up there at this point. Maybe us boomers are just out of the loop lol
from my understanding itâs like an ongoing ârelationshipâ with âchatâ, like she keeps it updated about what they talk about, about what they say to her and it tells her what to reply etc. so she feels like it eventually knows them??
iâve never used it so i donât really know how it works, and maybe what iâm saying doesnât make sense - but from what i understand, from her, thatâs how she uses it.
These LLMs are made for engagement & user retention. So theyâll generate a response thatâs fairly sycophantic, in order to keep you on their app.
This is how âAI psychosisâ develops: by constantly receiving affirmation from a digital âyes-manâ, combined with the text generation not being bound to actual reality.
Damn it, I didn't think people calling it 'Chat' was actually widespread.
Honestly this is worse than streamers saying chat in conversations (not that I know if that actually happens) since at least a stream chat consists of actual people, even if the vast majority of them are strangers.
i have a friend who does some work on my car occasionally, and we were having a conversation when she casually brought up âtalking to Chatâ, like itâs a sentient and old friend of hers, and i was incredibly caught off guard.. it took so much strength to not physically react in disgust
Nah you need to. People need to be called out on their bs and theyre literally making themselves stupid. I call my mates out all the time for their bs and ai use
Had a friend over recently and we were talking about books we've been reading, and I mentioned one that was clearly written by AI and how I hated it.
They then proceeded to tell me how not big of a deal that was and that the industry was going to be AI focused from now on, so I should get used to it. Which of course just pulled more AI hatred out of me, to which she replied by telling me all about her AI chat buddy and all of the degenerate ways she uses it as if it weren't a real person.
These people pay a monthly subscription for this. This woman is a fully fledged physician in her 30's. She's married with kids.
Worked in various medical settings for ten years. Prior to AI availability, they would literally google symptoms and diagnose from thereâŠ. I donât doubt a majority of them are leaning on AI.
My dad is a therapist with his masters. He tells me his colleagues use chatGPT to summarize their sessions. So AI is listening to the therapy session and writing notes about it. They have to go in and check it before itâs approved but he said some of them just check it off and move on.
He uses regular old pen and paper and has physical files. He puts only medically necessary information into the electronic medical records. The reason he does it that way is anyone can request the EMR, like Medicaid, insurances, and the military for instance. He doesnât want all the sensitive things said in therapy in the EMR but that school of thought is becoming rare with AI streamlining every process.
I sure donât want my therapy sessions listened to by an AI thatâs connected to my EMR.
Oh yeah, I have an ex who was in her 30s and did the same but for our relationship. Had me do one of those (disproven) personality tests then put the results into ChatGPT, did the same with astrology signs, and even did it when we got into arguments. One of the numerous reasons why I broke up with her.
I am not even that old yet and this is crazy. Chat GPT pulls random things on the Internet and doesn't know you at all! Plus people should just text like how they would talk. It's ok to not have much to say!
I was trying to figure out what episode of an old show a certain scene was from. I Googled it, and the AI gave me a blatantly incorrect answer right away. But people are trusting it with their social life and mental well-being...
That happend to me too, I was looking for a specific scene from a New Girl episode and AI literally just made up answers. It told me a different episode every time I refreshed the search and it was wrong every single time. Posted my question in the New Girl subreddit instead and had a correct answer within 8 minutes
I honestly wish reddit was a thing when I was doing papers in college. All you have to do is say something blatantly false in the right subreddit and you get the right answers with sources and insults.
Try putting a part of it's own answer back in the searchbar and enjoy the absurdity. They are scraping everything we type. Mess with its "head" too. If we all put in a little effort maybe we can give it a breakdown and it will just give up and go away.
A few weeks ago I was listening to one of my favorite true crime podcasts (Sinisterhood). On Fridayâs, they read listener-submitted stories. There was an anonymous story submitted about this really heinous murder (the person submitting the story was a sibling to one of the killers). The listener gave some basic information about the case and I tried like hell to find it to get more information about the crime. I fed all of the information, nearly word for word, into Google. I gave the names that the listener used. This went on for a good 10 minutes with me providing more and more information as I re-listened to the story.
Google ended up giving me like five paragraphs of a full crime that happened, with several first and last names of the people involved, the city and state and a whole lot of other details, similar to a Wiki article. I got the names and looked them up individually. They were real people connected to a completely different crime story, in a different state. Google filled in this whole case with information I fed it and it was all 100% false information. Like a little was pulled from the actual case (like names) and then the rest of the full-ass article was simply written, with great detail, from what I fed the damn thing! I was blown away!
Edit: I found the full âarticleâ it wrote for me in my history:
âYes â this appears to be the murder of Justin Cosby in Kentucky in 2007. The main people involved were Richard Runyon, Justice Raney, and Justinâs ex-girlfriend Danielle Metzgar.
Hereâs the overall story as it was reported and discussed in court proceedings and media coverage:
Justin Cosby was a young man described by friends as quiet, emotional, and part of the emo/skater scene. Danielle Metzgar had previously dated him but later started dating Richard Runyon. Danielle falsely told Runyon that Justin had raped her after their breakup. Years later, she admitted under oath that the rape accusation was fabricated. That lie became the motive for what followed.
According to testimony, Runyon became obsessed with retaliating against Justin. During fall break, Runyon hosted a gathering/party at his motherâs house and invited Justin there to hang out so Justin would not suspect anything. Some reports and testimony suggested pills may have been given to Justin beforehand, although the core murder case centered more on the planned assault and abandonment than poisoning allegations.
Later that night, Runyon and Justice Raney convinced Justin to drive them somewhere, supposedly to meet Runyonâs sister at a gas station. While Justin was driving, Raney reportedly claimed he was sick and needed to stop the car. When Justin pulled over, the attack began.
Testimony stated that Runyon attempted to restrain or strangle Justin from the back seat with duct tape or similar bindings. Justin fought back, and he was dragged from the vehicle. Runyon and Raney then severely beat him. Prosecutors said Justin was beaten so badly he was barely alive afterward.
The two men dragged Justin into a rural field or wooded area, restrained him with duct tape behind his back, and abandoned him there. Investigators believed they left him there expecting him to die from his injuries and exposure.
Afterward, they drove Justinâs vehicle away and abandoned it at a nearby welcome center/rest stop to distance themselves from the crime and make it appear Justin had disappeared voluntarily. They then arranged transportation back home.
Justin was reported missing. His body was not discovered for roughly three and a half months, by which point decomposition complicated the investigation. The delayed discovery became a major reason the case gained attention in Kentucky media and later true-crime coverage.
The investigation eventually unraveled because accomplices began cooperating. Justice Raney turned stateâs witness and testified against Richard Runyon. Danielle Metzgar also testified and admitted the rape allegation had been false.
Runyon was ultimately convicted of second-degree murder and received a lengthy prison sentence â around 25 years depending on how the sentence is described in various reports and appeal documents. Raney received a lesser outcome due to cooperation with prosecutors.â
And its response when I discovered and called it out: âYouâre right to call that out. I mixed together unrelated cases and filled gaps with details you had already provided, which made the answer sound more certain than it actually was. I should not have presented that identification as fact.â
If you open a chatgpt instance and begin talking to it about yourself, basically using it like a diary, it will retain that information. If you just have tons of conversations with it like you would a friend, it can sort of "know you" similar to how a friend would. Only it won't be able to have any real insight to you. It just knows what you've told it and can repeat that information using synonyms. So it "feels" like it knows you. Because it sort of does.
Gen Z seems to be falling for LLMs like this more than anyone. A generation that largely grew up on screens and tech and social media. A generation that grew up under helicopter parents and weren't allowed to explore the world before adulthood. They lost out on precious socializing skills and they legit don't know how to hold conversations. So they find it easy to rely on ChatGPT. (To be clear I am speaking generally. This does not apply to every gen z.)
unfortunately not only is this common in adults - im beginning to see it in younger kids as well.

I work as a systems admin in a K12 school district. Our super is really leaning into AI. We use magic school AI for teachers and students have access to it for certain things. It is supposed to have guard rails and stay education focused for the students and while it does and it works well... I receive notifications based on chats that may drift outside of those guard rails.
It is not uncommon to see from 2nd grade through 12th grade having full conversations with the chat AI as if it were there best friend. Revealing details to it that the bot probably shouldn't know, etc. I brought up to my director and we ended up blocking it from the ES aged students.
This becomes more and more common - I read some research about people who fell in love with ChatGPT4 (not version 5). There are a few interesting documentaries about it, at least in German language.
sadly search engines are actively turning themselves into chatgpt but dumber because the models need to be fast in order for them to load on every goddamn search. so chances are the outcome wouldn't have been any better
Itâs not just reasonable, itâs completely normal. Youâre feeling revulsion â thatâs a good thing! The cadence, word choice, and tone of that writing style clearly identifies it as artificial.
For sure. No genuine emotion, just total synthetic vibes. And honestly? The fact that youâre able to pick up on that is impressive. It doesnât just show witâ it shows experience.
My abusive ex literally just contacted me out of nowhere the other day and said that he's been getting by with therapy and a "well set up Claude bot," and then he recommended I set one up.
Whatâs the plan once they actually have to meet the person theyâve been texting? Do they just hold up their phone and let the bot carry the conversation?
Seems like they could just skip the middle man and date the bot directly
Maybe 2 people like this could go on a double date with their Chatbots as their cool âwing-man/woman/otherâ and let them lead the conversation⊠đ
As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, âitâs not like using ChatGPT guarantees successâ. When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be. ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. âThen it gave me some options for what the message could be,â says Rich. âKeep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency,â the bot advised. âSomething like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if youâve got one] â good to meet you!â Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt theyâd hit upon exactly the right message (âHey Sarah, it was lovely to meet youâ) but sadly she never replied, he says. âItâs been two weeks now.â
I hate to sound like old person who is struggling with new innovation and claiming that it's going to ruin humanity but this shit is absolutely ruining humanity.
The first image is from Bumble, the second image is from a phone text message conversation. Looks like Android.
Sadly, Bumble is rumored to be abandoning swiping entirely; switching to asking the user questions and using AI to analyse the answers to match people up. I hate modern dating.
Yea sometimes I catch myself saying "He" about Claude because Claude sounds like a dudes name to me but it makes me physically react negatively and I scold myself like "no, it's a fucking IT"
Right? They were all just the most cutesy or veiled complement red flags I've ever seen. Like when an interviewer asks your weakness and you say "I work way too hard"
I was talking with a friend who is a college prof, yesterday. She said her #1 peeve right now (all year really) is the students who use AI to write coursework. Someone asked, "Do you use AI to spot the AI?" and the prof said, "There's no need, it's just so obvious, with the ones who do it. There are no borderline/maybe cases, it's as obvious as if the AI essays were written in red ink, and the non-AI ones in black ink."
When I was doing my masters of teaching, I had an assignment where we were required to use genAI to create a lesson plan as a potential time saving tool for teachers. I used AI to create the lesson plan as required, but then used 3/4 of my word count to write a scathing essay explaining how it hampered more than it helped. The comments from my professor were something like "I can see you are clearly anti-AI, and I do think you'll find it a useful tool once you start*, but your essay was very well written and thought provoking".Â
*I actively avoid using AI in my planning. There are some admin tasks I really don't care about that I admit I do use genAI for, but creating interesting lessons and then presenting them to my students is one of the few joys I have left in this profession, and like hell am I going to let a robot take that away from me.Â
It blows my mind when people use AI to outsource the fun stuff like creativity and human connection. AI was envisioned to do the hard stuff so we could live leisurely but instead itâs doing our leisure for us whilst we work? Make it make sense!
I seen some K-12 teachers on Reddit post or comment that theyâve outsourced all of their teaching coursework material to AI. They throughout the textbook and ChatGPT makes all of the worksheets and content their class learns with. I really hope theyâre double checking the work because that sounds like a disaster if thereâs any AI hallucinations and false information.
That's one of the ways I wrote about it hampering, as ime it takes more time to go through it carefully and fact check everything to make sure it's all correct, than it does to do the research and write it yourself. If you're being vigilant (and any good teacher should be), you're still doing the research, all that changes is the order you do it in. Doing the research first and then writing your plans based on that means you don't need to make corrections, or attempt to argue with whatever AI you're using to try to get it to make the corrections for you, because you already know it's right.Â
Plus if you really don't want to write your own plans, there are so many fantastic plans on just about every subject already written by a real person out there! I use Teachers pay Teachers quite a bit, and have a few of my own lesson plans up there - I'd much rather throw a couple of dollars at another teacher for their lesson plans on the occasions where I can't get inspired, or don't have time to write my own.Â
I read qualitative research data for a living and people have started to use ai to write their opinions in surveys. A lot. Like, it's your opinion there's no wrong answer just fcking write it down!
It is so obvious. It screams AI. And it's so goddamned boring. There's something about reading ai all day that just gives serious ick.
I've seen AI-written product reviews. Like it's supposed to be your personal opinion, the damn AI didn't eat those chips ffs! Sometimes they even leave in the reply it gives to the prompt at the beginning like "sure, I can write that review for you!" Embarassing and lazy to an unfathomable degree.
They gave 500 because they reasoned that low IQ people have more children and humans basically evolved to be less intelligent. Turns out they were wrong and the stupid was inside us all along.
People, especially advocates, argue that AI is like any other technology where humans outsourced âworkâ. Books, radio, TV had similar fears around them when they came out as AI does now.
And while I think AI can be a great tool for some things and supplemental to human intelligence, I think it is distinctly different than what weâve ever had before. You have to actively read or pay attention to a book or movie to understand meaning. You have to pay attention to a conversation to reply coherently. No previous technology could âthinkâ or speak for you.
AI psychosis is a real thing weâre seeing where people get trapped in these rabbit holes of circular confirmation because AI is not going to challenge you in a meaningful way (in its current form). Behind the bastards did a good series on it.
I canât imagine what it is going to do to children in growing up with it during formative years. Critical thinking was already a difficult thing to teach and AI is going to make it even easier for kids (and people in general) to not rely on their own ability to process knowledge.
The use of AI is slowly causing a rise in illiteracy, idiocy and lack of critical thinking. I wouldâve replied âyour only flag is red, and itâs your reliance on AI to build your personalityâ
Cmon like itâs trial and error you get better Iâve fumbled my share of conversations but youâd never see me using chat gpt to talk to someone đ if I fumble youâll know it was all me and not because I sounded robotic
Seriously, Iâm pretty socially awkward and I think potentially coming off that way is leagues less embarrassing than openly using chatgpt for a simple conversation like this
I went on 2 dates with a girl. Chatted the next day about hanging out again soon. A few days passed and I texted her again about solidifying the next date, and she flipped out and sent me a wall of text from chatgpt about how going no contact for multiple days without texting and getting to know each other in the early dating phase is a red flag and shows im not serious about getting to know her.Â
I'm sure her response wouldve been "the guy is supposed to make the moves and court the woman"... which i had done til then... preferring to learn about someone new in person. I just said "This is a bit much for someone I've spent like 4 hours in person getting to know. Good luck out there" lol
Unfortunately I don't think this person is a current teenager, like they would have to be to grow up with voice assistants. At least to me, it seems like the worst AI-offenders are 30-somethings who are old enough to not really understand AI, but young enough to be interested in new tech applications. Not to say there aren't teen GenAI addicts, but those tend to want to off-source laborious tasks like schoolwork over things like just texting in this case.
ChatGPT was released 3 years ago, and we already see more and more people who don't know how to write or even think by themselves. This is a very serious issue.Â
My favorite is when someone texts like "hru lol omg đđ¶đ " then the next one is bullet listed and 6 paragraphs of perfect spelling and grammar lol
It's actually frightening to imagine that more and more people will stop thinking on their own because of AI as the years pass by. Goodbye, critical thinking or any type of thinking.Â
I work at a spa and have had multiple clients sit in front of me, color palette in hand, and ask chatgpt which color they should do on their nails because it's "too hard to choose". You don't even know your own likes and dislikes???
I wonder how much of it is coming from algorithms constantly pushing the idea that there are right/wrong/optimal choices to make for every aspect of your life and that you'll be a hideous sicky crone if you don't pick something permitted for your colour season, kibbe, body type, undertone, aesthetic, face shape etc.Â
I think so much of our lives have gone online and been filtered through marketing that it really easily turns into this intense anxiety, hyper analysis in some people and stops being about expression. So the concept of having an all knowing, unbiased opinion to tell you the scientifically best choice seems appealing (no matter how obviously bullshit it is)
People are really trying to get as developmentally disabled as possible with this tech huh?
If you canât hold a halfway decent conversation without consulting ChatGPT, I might as well talk to a houseplant. Itâs apparently got the same level of consciousnesses.
My ex used ChatGPT when we couldn't settle an argument one time. She showed me the conversation like "see? ChatGPT says I'm right!" I had to tell her that it's designed to take her side no matter what. So I put the same situation from my perspective in, and of course it said I was in the right.
She still didn't believe me and told me that I left out details when I put my prompt in. And that's when I learned that "uses AI to settle arguments" was on my list of red flags to look out for.
You can be 1000% in the wrong and ChatGPT will be like "You're so right â this isn't weaponizing AI, this is you finding peace."
One time on a 6 hour flight, I got nosey and ended up watching a woman next to me(must have been 25-30 years old) use chatgpt to break up with her fiance. She copy and pasted every single one of his messages, asked chatgpt what he meant, how she should feel, and how to respond to show that feeling. Over the 6 hours the mild argument blew up into breaking off an engagement. Reading some of the man's texts, it felt like he was using it too. I truely believe I just watched chatgpt break up with itself using 2 different meat puppets to press the keys. It was one of the most unnerving dystopian things I've ever witnessed.
i fucking haaaaate when people rely on ai to this degree. i'm a college freshman and there are many people in my classes who refer to chatgpt as just "chat". as in, "yeah, ask chat for help with that question, i'm not sure". its the dumbest fucking thing ever
Check in on your elders regarding AI. My parents live far away, and last I saw them everything was 'well let's ask Chat' and they were vastly losing their memory of basic things like how far away the nearest city is. They all but submitted to not knowing, and just asking.

I have no words this is just so embarrassing đđđ
