it isn’t, chat GPT is more likely to agree with you to keep you engaged on the platform. it would be more useful to you to talk to friends or people you don’t know online about it. there r nuances that real people have through experiences that a chat bot can’t replicate

Esp as someone who can fall into delusions/episodes occasionally (which of course makes oneself paranoid they are currently in one), if you word the situation properly it will give a genuinely neutral and outside perspective

I appreciate the source! I don’t use it very frequently as of now but definitely have in the past, it certainly is a slippery slope. It’s a price I am willing to occasionally pay to get better understanding of my situation.

People on anonymous platforms like this, Reddit, Tumblr, etc will be far more helpful, and they won’t have the same environmental impacts. Hell, you can just consult me and I’ll tell you for free. IMO, nothing is worth fueling the data centers that are taking over the drinking water near my house.

This is why when you talk to ChatGPT to see if you’re in the right, you write as if you were the other person and see if ChatGPT says you’re in the wrong…. This is what I do and I hope this is what others do.

If you haven’t noticed how frequently it makes mistakes you must be using it as an authoritative source rather than a suggestion to be fact-checked

Using character names for people involved in an ethical situation you’re unsure about is a good idea, but something to note is that there is a bit of randomness. You can prompt it the same thing and it’ll come to different conclusions. E.g. I could say “grade my essay using this rubric” and the result could be different if I prompt it multiple times.

Your refusal to talk to real people, online (AITA, YikYak, Reddit, Tumblr, Discord, etc) or irl (friends, family, coworkers, peers, barista at the coffee shop), in favor of a glorified text generator has caused my tap water to be brown.

I agree, nothing will ever be unbiased. There also will always be bias in tech because it is created by people. It is trained on what people have created (by stealing copyrighted works, mind you). ChatGPT is no less biased than your local coffee shop barista, and it can’t even make food to snack on as you confide in them at the bar. Do not use your lack of social skills as an excuse to literally shrink your brain.

No for sure, the mental disillusions are more what i’m talking about, could’ve led to dangerous things without access to that immediate observer

There’s a woman who is literally dating an AI that convinced her to tattoo herself out of “possession” to own her body. AI is biased, it just learned it from somewhere else.

Point me in the direction of a therapist who’s gonna help me understand myself at this depth or greater and I’ll give up the bucket of bolts. Otherwise I’m going to keep questioning and challenging myself with the help of this wonderful tool

People that claim those who use ai are not “free thinkers” are actually just telling on themselves that they don’t use ai properly or don’t have the intellect to do so because you can absolutely find gpt pushing back on some of my unhealthy habits. You just have to exhibit things like vulnerability, transparency, and articulate your problems in a way that allows it to see the full picture. It will push back. It will not always agree with you. Gpt has ripped into me for more than one thing.

as mentioned before, chatgpt is likely your agree with whoever is giving the prompt, especially the more you use it. it has literally encouraged people to kill themselves or others; it can technically be considered unbiased in some ways, but it is far from reliable
