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.
I don’t understand how that’s what you got out of my post or how this relates to it. Responding feels like defending a view I don’t hold.
I think you prefer the chatbot because it wil only talk about whatever you want to talk about. Real people have their own thoughts and experiences, and in a typical conversation both people express those based on their perception of life and the topic at hand. But you can’t seem to handle hearing other people’s perspectives because they deviate from your own thoughts and perceptions. To you, this is other people misunderstanding you. But I think they do understand. They’re just not hyperfocused on discussing exactly what you want to discuss in the way you want to discuss it, and tbh that’s not something you should expect any human to do.
Talking to you is like talking to a chat bot and I don’t like it.
