Can you explain what this means?
Your friend felt drained because chat gpt was asking for her engagement?
- neom 1y agoNot OP, but: 4o, the model most non-tech people use (that I wish they would depreciate) is very...chatty, it will actively try to engage you, and give you "useful things" you think you need, and take you down huge long rabbit holes. On the second point, it used to be very "high EQ" to people (sycophantic). Once they rolled back the sycophancy thing, even a couple of my non-technical friends msg'd me asking what happened to ChatGPT. I know one person who we've currently lost to 4o, it's got them talked into a very strange place friends can't reason them out of, and one friend who has recently "come back from it" so to speak.
- lxgr 1y agoSince when is sycophancy the same thing as “high EQ”? A high EQ might well be a prerequisite for successful sycophancy, but the other way definitely does not hold.
- neom 1y agoIt's not, I'm simply saying that I believe the sycophantic version of 4o that they rolled backed appeared "higher EQ" to it's users.
