The recent chat bot advances have pretty much changed my life. I used to get anxiety by receiving mails and IMs, sometimes even from friends. I lost friendships over not replying. My main issue being that I am sometimes get completely stuck in a loop of how to formulate things in the best way to the point of just abandoning the contact. I went to therapy for that and it helped. But the LLM advancements of the recent years have been a game changer.

Now I plop everything into ChatGPT, cleaning out personal information as much as possible, and let the machine write. Often I’ll make some adjustments but just having a starting point has changed my life.

So, my answer, I use it all the fucking time.

    … Literally never.

    And its never once crossed my mind.

    And if one of my friends told me they did this to talk to me, I think I’d just stop talking to them, because I want to talk to them. If I wanted to be friends with a computer, I’d get a tamagachi.
