These comments may seem silly at a glance, like joking about using WebMD instead of going to the doctor. But if this is the kind of unhealthy over-reliance on AI that OpenAI considers “cool,” we should all be worried.
Like a month ago I overheard one genz/alpha tell another that he was nervous about a presentation or something so he asked chatgpt for help. Chatgpt told him to only worry about doing the best he can and to not worry about being judged by the others in the room. He went on at length about how this completely changed his worldview and that he had been too focused on other people’s approval because all he cares about is being successful and had never considered just not caring what people think of him.
This was the most “holy fuck humanity is cooked” I’ve ever felt.

THEY’RE CHOOSING THE WIRE MOTHER DAMNIT
A lot of young people aren’t really told to not worry about these things, and it’s pretty normal for young people to change their “entire worldview” from the dumbest sources. The Gen X/Boomer equivalent was doing the same thing with a fortune cookie.
Glad I was born at the perfect time have my philosophical awakening the way god intended, by doing hallucinogens in the desert.

One of the libs I like to watch recently used it for the first time and they are “frightened and awed” that chatGPT could provide a summary of their social media accounts. Like, this thing just made a list of things they’ve talked about and then turned that list into a paragraph of text and this person is freaking out. I like to watch this particular lib because they give me a good barometer for how “normies” behave around stuff. And based on this, I think there’ll be a dozen major AI worshipping religions springing up in the US by the end of the decade.
no. they are toys at best and can quickly get boring
