As I understand it, some people treat chatgpt like a close personal friend and therapist. Confiding their deepest secrets and things like that.
- gruez 1y agoIs this any different than people asking their deepest darkest questions to google?
- sebastiennight 1y agoIt is very different. In one case you actively have to prod a "neutral" machine to get your dark curiosity satiated, in the other case the machine is designed to draw it out of you. Same difference as: "Allowing minors into casinos... is it any different from letting them play cards with their friends at home with their pocket money?"
- shagie 1y ago> in the other case the machine is designed to draw it out of you. I take issue with the "is designed to" phrase. That implies an intentionality upon OpenAI (and others) to create something that acts as a therapist or confidant. It is designed to respond to you in a way that you ask it to. The agency for confiding deep secrets to a cloud service is entirely upon the human typing in the text. If one doesn't try to make it your friend, it doesn't try to act like it.
