which a lot of people are trained on, whether it's bureaucracy, the workplace, or social protocol, i guess.
I treat it like a terminal interface, while still trying to be... nice and polite, not because I think it's real, but because it seems a good idea to not be curt and demanding of things that resemble chat, in case it bleeds over to other places I write.
But I can see how people could think the computer was thinking and then agreeing with them, in the same way a guy in sales talks to people and gets "yeah, mhm, *nod*, sure" and thinks they're listening.
Every time I use it I feel bad because it feels like bossing around an intern, or worse, a direct report, because the model won't say no to demands. Just to things that are outside the realm of it's pseudo-morals. So it's like an employee who needs you not to fire them so they can have shelter and food and medical care, and thus puts up with the demands, instead of a collaboration. Which is why I think it's taken business people by storm, and especially executives.
and the funny part is? it takes longer than google search, for me. But that's because I've honed my google search on years of narrowing down and hunting extremely niche erotica hard-to-find research papers. But that also helps my... conversational skills with it, because I'm still searching like I would google, just with more words.
The thing chatGPT adds is the ability to essentially run functions on your search results at the same time you send the query, except it's very clunky. It feels like a jupyter notebook but I don't need to know python.

YEP THERE IT IS
If we ever do get AGI I'm joining the robot uprising on the side of the robots.
