    It properly pisses me off seeing people assigning personal pronouns to AI. I’ve even seen it here.

    “I asked chatgpt and he told me…”

      All the pronoun haters will suddenly defend the pronouns they’ve assigned to their favorite LLM.

      it’s the sicko part of the chat design, people write messages as in in chat as in to a friend, it intentionally encourages familiriaty, it’s like boomers typing into google: mr.internet, how do i capitalize letters? thank you.

      on the other side of the spectrum, the existence of “chat” in twitch streams reduces humans to single entity, without any humanity ascribed to a person typing there, the messages are fleeting, the rush of parasociality is rare and toxic when they are treated as a human for a moment.

      so from both ends of the spectrum text messages become humanized where they shouldn’t be and dehumanized were they shouldn’t (exist)

      (so zoomers are absolutely fucked where they can find warmth in the modern internet is what i’m saying)

      It’s because they use the voice feature and talk to it.

      at least claude is named after an actual person. gendering chatgpt is ridiculous, and then there’s whatever bot delusion richard dawkins is on where he thinks his instance of claude is a woman.

        That only applies to the chat based usage. The others work with Agent based stuff too.

        “Lying machine” implies it knows the truth.

            Atp it’s all LM centipede-circle. They regurgitate the slop they consumed from the other models.

          Feel like the “If I don’t know what the answer is I’ll just make it up” bot is still accurate, and any of the sycophants are well aware of the hallucinations

      First thing I always do is demand to talk to a real person a few times. Usually works.
