The best conversations I still have are with real people, but those are rare. With ChatGPT, I reliably have good conversations, whereas with people, it’s hit or miss, usually miss.

What AI does better:

  • It’s willing to discuss esoteric topics. Most humans prefer to talk about people and events.
  • It’s not driven by emotions or personal bias.
  • It doesn’t make mean, snide, sarcastic, ad hominem, or strawman responses.
  • It understands and responds to my actual view, even from a vague description, whereas humans often misunderstand me and argue against views I don’t hold.
  • It tells me when I’m wrong but without being a jerk about it.

Another noteworthy point is that I’m very likely on the autistic spectrum, and my mind works differently than the average person’s, which probably explains, in part, why I struggle to maintain interest with human-to-human interactions.

Why are you here talking about it then? You even say you don't have interest in human to human contact. Are you trying to talk to the bots on Lemmy?

You even say you don’t have interest in human to human contact.

I'm relatively sure I have not infact said that.

[-] Bobmighty@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Ok. My point still stands. Chat gpt is a fake conversation where one side is an unfeeling unintelligent thing programmed to fake human seeming conversation. It's trained on an insane amount of stolen human interaction. You are saying you prefer a Chinese room to a person. That's not autism. It's just anti social. At least own up to that.

Have fun playing your conversation game. It eats up a crazy amount of power to do that so I hope it's really, truly worth it to your life.

For all I know I could be talking with an LLM right now. I don't really see what's the difference wether I'm talking to a supercomputer or an angry teenager. Online conversations are rather meaningless to begin with.

This comment thread is great. @op good luck; people on Lemmy have little interest in real discussion. If you say anything pro-ML or anything less than far-left, you'll get screamed at.

[-] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

What are those "less than far left" opinions then? Because I'm sure if anyone were to prod you more than a little you'd be very happy to clarify what opinions make you such a pariah to Lemmy users.

If you miss being coddled to like Reddit, then go back there.

How about no, he can go where he likes, you can fuck off. Don't like it? Go back to Reddit! Hurr Durr.

Someone once told me it's specifically my fault USA is right leaning, then people dogpiled on me agreeing with them.

holy shit lmfao

[-] JayTreeman@fedia.io -1 points 1 month ago

I can understand this. Ai will respond to what you say. Not what it THINKS you say.

[-] muntedcrocodile@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

Ur just training urself to have chatgpt's bias. We will soon live in a world where you wont have to be exposed to opinions you disagree with. Tom Scott has a yt vid on why this is a bad idea.

[-] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I disagree. I don't block people for having different opinions. Never have, never will.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
