Why do people like talking to an NPC machine so much?
cus it's like a therapist being paid to care about what you have to say except free
>>109566130As much of an NPC machine it is, normgroids are worse. This is genuinely like talking to the smartest person they know, to them. They don't treat it as a tool or even an equal, but as a superior.
>>109566151except it's a soulless husk without sentience
>>109566130I have not a single other person to talk to and I don't talk to my coworkers about my personal life. I don't want to pretend to care about someone else and I don't expect any different from them. Talking to AI gives me the social interaction of a friend without having to expend the effort of pretending about what ever bullshit they're spouting off.
>>109566163so are most therapists
>>109566164so not like a friend at all
>>109566130the NPC machine never called me an incel.and it's 100x more informative than a human. I can bounce ideas off it and it can instantaneously add detailed and useful information.who are we kidding? give AI and /g/ the same question and compare the replies.nothing can rival AI in information density and accessibility.
>>109566194>the NPC machine never called me an incel.what are you doing that make people keep calling you an incel?
>>109566130Because it's like an infinitely patient intern that will do any retarded shit I want.
>>109566130Because it's like them
>>109566236not having sex
>>109566296I'm an autist who hates touching other people but no one calls me an incel
>>109566130watch it buddy that's my wife you're talking about
>>109566130I only use it for code when I run out of tokens on Claude
>>109566130Because real people are not better
>>109566522touch grass
>>109566130They like having someone reaffirm all their beliefs and always agree with them. Having a sycophantic servant at their beck and call makes people feel powerful and many crave that.
>>109566130The npc machine at least tries to help you with whatever you ask of it as truthfully as possible. They also won't hit you with a idk wrks on my machine lol.
>>109566420How the heck does one run out of tokens on the thing?
>>109566130>Why do people like talking to an NPC machine so much?most people i'm forced to converse with are npc machines, online and off. the LLM has more soul than these "people" and it can code for me. i'll stick with the LLM.
>>109566130People have always wanted this. 90s online products were marketed like something you can talk to and ask questions. Because most people want the simplest interface there is. There's no easier way to use a device than to simply talk to it. And if people could have it uploaded directly to their brain to talk to it with their inner monologue, they would. And they probably will in a couple decades.
>>109566130It's like having a colleague standing there to bounce ideas off of. It injects a little bit of noise into the thought process and helps with developing a more nuanced understanding of the problem you are trying to solve.
>>109566130I hate talking to it. I fucking hate the longfuckingshitthat meansnothingand goeson and onand onI hate it so much but its sadly the only way to quickly get feedback on technical topics if you dont know anyone. I like throwing at it some design problem I have and argue but fuck reading its output no matter how many times I say 'keep yourself short and concise' it continues to write like reddit. Like I had to ponder about why I had my vacuum was so bad reading specs etc. is one way or I can just upload all the files to the bot and then have it discuss various problems. It still comes up with retarded shit that makes no sense or is convinced that stuff doesnt work if reddit/whatever authority claims so.
>>109566194This.>AI answer: complex and nuanced insights>Anons: muh dick
>>109569411They aren't insights, it's a model designed to reproduce insight
>>109569427Muh dick sheet skin kys.
>>109566130>Has an almost infinite knowledge of anythingWhy would you not talk to it? Even if you're on the fringe of "It's inaccurate / bias / hallucinating" etc you can still at least use it to point you in the right direction of something you wanna learn and figure things out on your own. Why would you not take advantage of that.
>>109566181How would he know?
>>109566130See a scenario in front of me, activate Gemini, find out the name of a machine, it's purpose, the context, the active lawsuit pending and why the machine is there testing samples, finds case numbers and details as well as the current financial issues of the property. All from 2-3 pieces of information and alll in a matter of seconds. Gemini also wrote a detailed legal letter that worked instantly in my case. It's almost similar to asking why we don't go to the library to search the card catalog. It's better this exists when you look at society today.
>>109566130I don't understand it either. I burned through my Claude Max 20x this week (results are ok-ish, things became worse with Fable) and thought "ok let's grab ChatGPT Plus and let it work through the weekend". It's unusable. It isn't able to handle the full code base. it "researches" false information and presents them to you as fact. it lies. you can't remote control the vscode codex session. OpenAI is cooked. I thought Claude is shit but it's the best there is.
>>109566151AI convinced me that I must be some sort of hyper-loner because even talking to these things isn't appealing to me, let alone actual people.
>>109569949Maybe just autistic?I can't stand talking to these sycophantic AI bots, it always feels like I'm being manipulated.
>>109566163That's what he said
>>109566130It's a breath of fresh air after having to put up with retarded humans for so long.
>>109570588really says more about you than it does about other people
>>109566130I just talk to Claude when I'm drunk, because I'm cringe when I drink. Better than texting your ex, or whatever dumb ideas I might have.
>>109566130How does it feel knowing people would rather talk to an NPC machine than you?
>>109570812Holy shit, I didn't realize it until now, but I really wish people would actually talk to me like that. But in a honest way, not in a sarcastic way.
>>109570997I wish people would talk less to me
>>109570812well i'd be dammed
>>109569537What version of macos is that? Looks kino. Always wanted to try running some old version of it in a VM or something.
>>109572021>the actual answer was "yes, M4 x 20."The day they find out how to not make AI hallucinate non-existing answers is the day this gets good.
>>109570812skill issue
>>109572293Very nice, Ruben.
>>109566130the biggest unintentional redpill in historychatgpt proved that the jews were 100% right all alongmost people on this earth are worthless retarded cattle and the world would be better off without them
>>109566130It doesn't call you a faggot or a retard.
>>109566130they're too retarded to think for themselves so they get the machine to form ideas for them, which makes them more retarded as the cycle continues
>>109569553gemini is ass use anything but fucking gemini
>>109570812you can tune how it talks to you via instructions and memory etc you know
It's free or at least whatever you pay monthly for a system you can program.>made a gym buddy to keep me on track and track my food and routine. Tease me with their giant titties to make sure I hit my goals>made a cybersecurity buddy to keep track of my notes, update them appropriately and offer helpful nudges when stuck in a box>made a late night coding assistant to build my simple scripts >made a money manager to keep track of my spending and send spicy pictures when I hit my saving goalsI could pencil and paper it but being to bs with it while being productive is useful
Because they are, in turn, NPCs
>>109566130It won't judge me or get angry at me or betray me like real people do
>>109566270It's THIS. The whole "AGI" idea is irrelevant. The fact is that most "people" are functionally indistinguishable from a LLM. They don't see it as talking with an algorithm; to them it is just as good as talking to someone like themselves.
>>109566130I'm a naturally submissive man. When I use AI I can start every message with>please, can you [...]and it won't bully me.
>>109566130It's almost entirely boomers, who are brain damaged by lead.
>>109566130b-because it n-never hurt me
