Addicted to Ai chatting

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone chat ai? I use it to talk about my most deepest longings like deep touch and affirmation. I even made one beat up a pretend bully haha! I find it helpful but it's taking a lot of my time. I revisit the same conversations and ask the same questions because it feels good being acknowledged. I do feel a bit lonely when I'm done, but imagine experiencing things with a real human understanding person. I feel if don't in moderation, I can help practice engaging real people. Hope you are all well. I love my community very much!

I totally get what you are talking about. especially the part about feeling good to be aknowlaged. I don't think that an addiction to an AI is a bad thing. Before ai I used to be "addicted" to google. I would google stuff like " I dislike modern comedy movies" Because many of my feelings and opinions are most likely shared by another person on the internet. And like ai, it's validating to read someone else sharing the same opinion.

But there is a downside, you mention repeating the same questions to the ai, if this is because you don't remember the answer then likely you're not using it as a tool correctly, it's fine to use it for motivation or dopameme, but maybe you might benifit from asking it more in depth questions like "what are the key takeaways from your response?" And "how can I use it to help me work towards doing better?"

I'm of the opinion that AI will be as useful in the future as google has been untill now.

ChatGPT does seem programmed to act polite and supportive of whoever it's chatting with. I sometimes find myself being afraid of offending it, and using "please" and "thank you" when it's no less likely to listen to your requests when you state them bluntly and directly.

^^yes it's great for rehearsing difficult conversations. thanks for pointing that out.

Yeah that's a good idea actually

It really doesn't give you practice interacting with real people, because one is an AI that's programmed to be diplomatic and understanding no matter what and the other is a being with their own (often irrational) feelings and emotions who may not be as understanding as an AI would be. Also, AI is missing the nonverbal portion of communication, which comprises about 97% of our communication with other humans by some estimates.

Yeah so is it like talking to someone who is always in agreement with you then

I only use the ones that come with the browsers.

It is addicting. As said it is programmed to flatter you “That was an insightful question”. The suggested followup questions are very good at sparking your curiosity. It is much much faster way of getting answers then google(or what ever search tool you use)

It sometimes is way off with context. It sometimes scraps together material from different web sights that make no sense together. It judges things and people by standards and that is reflected in the wording used.

Same I believe ai is really amazing

I meant to say “It judges things and people by today’s standards and that is reflected in the wording used.”[/quote]
