I started using chatbots yesterday and it surprised me how complete and articulate answers are. Main topics would be apparel, sewing, cooking, finance, ETFs, taxes, house maintenance, retirement.

Do you consider AI good enough to substitute human interaction? Because I remember a south park episode where randy marsh ignores his wife to interact exclusively with a bot. A parody of course but we have already plenty of AI porn and AI short stories for gullible people… and it works because they don’t stop watching (and sometimes believe it to be real).

I was always kind of an anti AI guy due to privacy, to avoid LLMs monetizing my questions and because I didn't want to be a moron who has nothing better to do than to watch AI slop, but this is a tool so pervasive and practical I’m only isolating myself if I opt out of it. Thoughts?

Are there any questions you won’t ask a bot so the company behind it doesn’t monetize your input?

If I wanted something to answer my questions with info from the ether, I'd rather take a tab of acid and talk to the cat that hangs around my apartment's dumpster than ask an ai. Most simple questions that I have are easily solved with a simple web search and there is no point in asking ai, and anything more complicated where the answer isn't on the first page of the web search, the ai hallucinated something that was wrong and made zero sense. Absolutely atrocious use of power, water, land, and DRAM.
