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.
And you thought it was appropriate to highlight this point on a thread mourning those losses? On top of that, you were surprised when people rebuked you for it?
I believe in truth and I’ll speak it even when I know it to be unpopular. And on top of that I was replying to another user that was already making the same point.
I wasn’t the least surprised by the response to it. That was highly predictable.
Based on your responses to me and others on this thread I would say it’s no wonder you enjoy chatting with bots as opposed to humans.
You have a severe lack of empathy on even the most basic topics. In a discussion surrounding the thousands of deaths in an unprovoked attack the only response you could muster was “Civilian deaths are only issue for the western nations. Not to these extremists. Being martyred lands them into heaven.”. You seem to be operating under some delusion that these people in a different country and culture mourn their losses differently than you when human loss is universal. These aren’t martyrs, they’re human casualties you so casually wrote off for the sake of some kind of “truth” you keep claiming is there. You hide your emotional coldness and lack of empathy behind this “truth” veil to protect yourself from actually challenging yourself and acknowledging your fundamental lack of emotional intelligence.
The other thing that stood out to me is your complete lack of self reflection. You told another user on this thread that you’ve blocked 500+ people on Lemmy. Has it never once occurred in all those 500+ clicks of the block button that you might be the problem? That number of blocks is not normal. No matter which way you put it. All you’ve done is isolate yourself from others with a different worldview just because they hurt your feelings. You profile says you’re open to debate and discussion but your actions and words are telling me a whole other story.
You created this thread as some kind of self-pity party to get people to empathize with you but after this exchange and the others I’ve seen all I see is an asshole crying victim because they can’t see why people don’t respect you. Feel free to add me to your ever-growing list of blocked users on this site. But don’t say I didn’t give you a chance to empathize and understand you. I really really did. And you failed horribly at it at every turn.
If you want to keep going with this, then please pick one of those things you mentioned above and I’ll respond to it. I can’t handle multiple separate topics at the same time and I don’t know which one of them you feel is the strongest argument / claim.
Nothing I said in my above comment was an argument. It was a statement. You made this post lamenting on how you’re mistreated, but after our conversation and reading a few others you’ve had, I can safely say you’re not some kind of innocent victim of online hate. You’re just an inconsiderate asshole who can’t stand when you’re being treated the same way you treat others.
Alright, well thanks for your feedback then and take care.
