Not just kids - I find myself talking more and more with LLM's as well. Neither my friends, my partner or the people I hang around online are interested in talking about the stuff I'm interested in. Neither is ChatGPT but atleast it pretends to be.

What do you wanna talk about?

[-] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Consciousness, meditation, stoicism, zombie apocalypse, prepping, trolley problems, superintelligence, the alignment problem, AI apocalypse, Ukraine or Palestine conflict ...
