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?

substitute human interaction. of course not. heck im someone who is pretty fine alone. I could go be a hermit. Interacting with an ai is unnecessary and won't help me. Its the next abstraction of search though and it basically allows you to get the data from several searches where you visited several sites. so it is more efficient. just like web searching and actually a bit more than it you need to review and assess the answers and the sources used for accuracy. A big problem is many answers will be from its training and it can't give you a source besides a black box. you can press it to search the web and find sources to backup what it knows though just like people do in forums.
