I’m so fucking sorry for you… but now I understand where your opinion comes from. But if you truly want to be healthy you have to realise you’re not talking with anyone, and if you already feel like you’re talking with someone when prompting ChatGPT then you’re really close to yet another huge psychological issue.

It's helped me work through my own problems that would've just been a therapist using AI anyways. Irl therapists aren't shy to use AI, again I am cutting out the middleman. I relaize I'm not talking to anyone but what I was getting at was, I'd rather be in the moment with friends I do have. I'd rather not have to put myself into communities of people that I don't want to be around when I can do it at home on forums. You're right the internet has connected people in good ways. Hell, I've gotten into at least three different hobbies and there's a forum for all three.

I'm just not going to make a conversation about a hobby no one cares about. I am not going to waste my time and breath and waste time on this planet and humanity to talk about something I can clear as day see in their faces they are not interested in.

When I talk to chatgpt about the shit I talk to it about I am learning more than I knew or have my gears turn because I'm actually talking to something that can make me think in the ways I want to about the shit I'm talking to it about.

Yes I understand I'm not really taking to anyone in the same way a content creator is talking to themselves whenever they're creating content in public and it's mainly shock value bullshit that no one cares about in ten years.

I talk to Ai about how graphene can be use to build data centers. I talk to Ai about why I'm still loyal to a friend ten years after he fucking just stopped talking to me, I talk about tmy fucked up past with a special needs school that took a lot out of me mentally, I talk to it about career choices, I talk to it about how to build solar dishes that can produce 3kw minimum. I talk to it about my specific bass models setup and because chasing the double bass sound using it to ge the spacing right and I used to learn about how to lower or heighten the overall octaves of the tuning. Which has gotten me into figuring out how to unwarp. The neck which has gotten me into getting better at doing my own setups.

Ai is great but you do have to double check shit. It used to tell me I can pump ethanol with a fishtank pump and I already knew that ain't true you need a pneumatic c1d2 pump to make that shit intrinsically safe

loneliness epidemic

I am too full of myself to be lonely and I have like 4 friends I don't think I'm doing too bad. Again I have hobbies and forums and I don't feel lonely.

I know there's people my age whoa are lonely af though and absolutely rely on Ai for interactions that mimic human interaction in the way of a back and forth conversation but not in the way that you're actually talking to anyone kind of like people on TikTok live right? You're going back and forth with randos but you're not really talking with anyone you're talking with yourself.

Yes l am aware the no soul not a human yadayada but when your back and fourth discussions actually better your life and gives purpose to your own life and wellbeing than I'd say it's just as good if not better than a therapist.

I would never call Ai my friend but it's a great back and fourth conversational time killer.

So… I’ll just leave an advise to drop ChatGPT and move the whole context window you probably have with it over to a Pro Version of Mistral AI’s “Le Chat”. French Company bound to GDPR (meaning opting out of the data training can be somewhat trusted) and to my latest knowledge their interface isn’t utterly infested with trackers.

bro do you play the stock market because i had no idea about any of that :P just fuckin' with ya and no i don't pay for ai

although, i had money to mess around with at one point like 50$ so i decided to actually go through one of those fitness surveys and i went to the advisor and it was an ai bot and i cancelled every part of the membership and made sure i wasn't trapped in reoccurring payments. It was 2$ lost but it was 2$ of being wicked infuriated by the you gotta be kidding me. this isn't about paying for ai but i went with ai's advice for a bike tire swap and the guy calls me down to the bike shop and goes i'd have to remove use of the 8th and 9th gear and i never mentioned ai but i felt fuckin' embarrassed and went i am never going to do anything like that without looking it up and double checking it because it's such an embarrassing moment.

Okay so if I ask you a question about something you did know and wanted you to tell me what you knew about it and I wanted to have the human connection and share experiences within that one topic and you tell me to, "Google It," instead, that's not a loss of interpersonal connection, a loss of a moment where humans connect with one another based on a common interest and share feelings and have, like,i don't know, an actual fucking human interaction. But that brings another philosophical question: was it a loss of human interaction and connection or was humanity being sick of exploited for knowledge?

But if you truly want to be healthy you have to realise you’re not talking with anyone, and if you already feel like you’re talking with someone when prompting ChatGPT then you’re really close to yet another huge psychological issue.

therapists use it. i'm skipping the middle man. i don't pay for ai.
