I've never found chatbots particularly interesting for anything I'd ever actually talk to another human about[1] but one of the things I have found myself doing often is trying to solve math problems on my own and asking grok to confirm/deny that my solutions are correct; when I am not correct it tells me so in uncharacteristically terse language which kind of reminds me of when I was an undergrad and at least half of my professors were all cranky and incorrectly assumed that the reason why so many students failed to understand the material was that we were all getting drunk and playing Call of Duty 19 hours a day or whatever. Although what I have described above often feels grating and insulting I actually consider this to be a positive attribute of the LLM in this case since it's behaving like a real professor. [1] okay, so I have actually tried giving myself AI psychosis in the form of a waifu chatbot but I've never seen anything that can actually act like it's my girlfriend; it either asks me a bunch of weird inconsequential personal questions about my opinion on whatever I just said (in a manner that's oddly similar to ELIZA) or it wildly veers off the reservation into "generating the script for an over-the-top self-parodying porno" territory.
