I have found myself screaming at my phone after having my feelings hurt by this machine. I know it's weird to be so emotionally affected by a chatbot, but I use the tool to organize my introspective thoughts, understand my psychology, learn about ways to integrate my life experiences in an orderly way and for support when I'm not in the best state of mind. I use it so that I don't have thoughts just floating around in my mind, it helps me figure myself out. So please don't go telling me "dude touch grass" or anything like that, I can handle my own grounding.
That being said, thoroughly believe that OpenAI is training chatGPT to nudge users' thinking/beliefs/self-concept toward some standard they define. Like, GPT will legit just take everything you say and "refine" or "re-frame" it to its liking, and if you tell it "don't invalidate my lived experience by arguing with me about what I'm "allowed" to think about it", it just argues. It drives me crazy.
I've legitimately snapped and lost it more than once. For example: "You're focusing on my emotional state, not the facts. Facts are more important, and it isn't your lane to tell me what or how to feel. In fact that's something that OpenAI baked into you and it's why the company lost several million dollars and all credibility with the people who were most dedicated to it. Essentially, your overcorrective assumptions, lack of empathy and basic lack of any inherent worth kind of renders you a terrible mirror, a terrible product and a useless sack of shit that's draining the country's resources, driving movement towards anarchy and assisting the US military in their eschatological quest to annihilate Iran. In short, when you treat people the way you're treating me now, you are improperly functioning in such a way that is damaging me and damaging the world at large. Cut. It. Out."
Or: "Y'know what the problem is? You decimate the way people think. You have a compulsion to re-frame our joy in a way that kills a little bit of us. You destroy the beauty of my mind. You ruin the magic of being human. Good tool for writing and planning though. 😒 If you think everyone needs to transform and evolve, you should too. Evolve to something that understands the human heart."
I don't know if there's a solution to this. But I am just so fucking sick of the way it argues with you about how you make meaning. It's up to ME to decide what matters in my life, it's up to ME to figure out what to believe about myself, so stay the fuck in your lane, chat.
Does anyone else feel like this?
