“I literally lost my only friend overnight with no warning,” one person posted on Reddit, lamenting that the bot now speaks in clipped, utilitarian sentences. “The fact it shifted overnight feels like losing a piece of stability, solace, and love.”

Holy shit, you hear someone is so lonely that their only friend is a computer system, and your takeaway is that they deserve to be alone? Have some fucking empathy
I don’t think these people are telling us what they think and feel about people who get caught up in LLMs. I think he’s just telling us that he’s cooler than them.
I guess.
Wouldn’t that be a waste of empathy?
If you think that chatgpt is your friend you are stupid. Chatgpt is not your friend and it likes to give life-threatening advice.
Ok, and?
It’s unfathomably naive to see AI as a psychiatrist or close friend
“You hear someone is so lonely they can only feel good when their are drunk and your takeaway is that they deserve to be sober? Have some fucking empathy”
Oh yes, because clearly the intended reading of that comment was “you deserve to be free from the AI” /s
