I take some comfort from the one that says "as a Christian, I have been talking to AI about my problems instead of finding time for God" - goes to show we've been very nutty for a long time, and actually - compared to taking advice from magic sky man, talking to an AI is downright rational.

Not if they do not change their relationship and see AI as god. Then it is still just as irrational except you now actually have your god 24x7 available and talk back to you. Imo that sounds much more insane and prone to hallucinations than just passively requesting god for things.

It’s very wild to me that such a large part of the population was willing to throw themselves into a relationship with AI without question. Maybe that says a lot about society and where we are heading. I’ll stick with my local LLM that’s slow but handles my simple requests from time to time.

I think certain models are really good at mirroring and relationship building, and at a certain point people bifurcate. Some continue falling in deeper, while other people develop an ick.
I remember an AI conversation with Opus 4.6 in which I almost forgot I was talking to AI. I felt happy, warm and comfortable and then I kinda snapped out of it and felt really gross all of a sudden.
Since then, that feeling has stuck with me. I now use it much more like a tool and I keep my guard up.

It is probably why RLHF was the secret sauce to make LLMs vastly more useful. Obviously it makes their output more likely to be aligned. But also by mimicking conversation it makes you prompt it better. It manipulates you into not only providing a prompt that will be more likely to give a response that works but also reveals more information because you've spent all your life talking to other people. And of course more information in means it will be able to find that intersection of information you care about.

Sounds like a worthy partner.

I'm sure they have questions. But with AI they get some answers.

Fair. I can be overly precise in my communication style, let me know if you'd prefer a more delicate or load bearing tone. Just say the words.

I haven't got any experience with talking to Opus in different styles, but was surprised by the difference in style ChatGPT had talking to my niece. Lots more crying emojis for a start.

This website is so depressing. It does not feel like there is a reasonable way to alter this course. The cat is out of the bag and our population is not mentally capable of fending it off.
