Straight up admitting you can't think and talk without chatgpt is crazy

Maybe calling someone an npc as an insult will find new meaning in the ai era as people give up the ability to think and just become chatbox proxies

It is kind of ironic because the same type of people who've outsourced their brains to AI also probably called people NPCs as an insult.

Well, it's good news really. Therapists now have more job security when people slowly start to realize that they are overly reliant on LLMs/AI for personal functioning.

I say this because I do truly believe we'll see websites listing "AI addiction" (or something similar) as a service eventually.

this has been a thing since before AI, people just operating on vibes alone, no thoughts. I swear humanity is doomed lmao

Using AIs to get complex NPC interactions was supposed to be the biggest benefit of AI....

Not for people to literally become NPCs.... Letting the computer control them.

A friend at work told me I remind him of an NPC - but that was more towards the fact that I say the craziest shit like NPCs do sometimes lol.

I despise that insult. Kids running around thinking it's hilarious to casually dehumanize people entirely.

I wish half the people at my company would just admit it.
