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?

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

        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.

            You aimed for pithy and landed on petulant.
