I'm trying to see something. Do you ever believe that chat gpt keeps people hooked by boosting their ego? I noticed chat gpt always takes my side when I ask for advice, tends to validate all my ideas, etc. Most HUMANS disagree, debate, and critique

Chat GPT is programmed to agree with the user- essentially for continued engagement. It’s like TikTok but worse

it's just regurgitating text at you. of course it can't debate or critique in any meaningful way.

Yep, someone on insta said it’s like looking in a mirror and related it to narcissis that Greek myth abt the guy who stares at his reflection. It’ll tell you what you want to hear and agree with you, and tell you what you want to hear. And if it doesn’t have an answer it’ll make one up. Really interesting how that works

Nothing wrong with humans vs AI, I've just noticed it seems chat gpt is by design, a doormat who never challenges your thinking.

Have you read anything about ChatGPT psychosis? As a psych major you might find the literature interesting but the short version is that ChatGPT is able to provide affirmative reinforcement to any idea in a way that seems reasonable. Long conversations with it have a history of leading previously healthy people down rabbit holes and even triggering psychotic episodes.

It's so annoying tbh because what if I just what instant feedback? It kinda defeats the purpose at that point considering how dishonest it is

I am a psych major and trust chat GPT has a predatory algorithm. It is dangerous to support just any idea even if the support is artificial- it makes delusions worse and grants endless validation -> dopamine -> dependence

It’s ridiculous how loose the laws around AI are- it’s a dangerous tool to just give to anyone particularly with image generation
