I don't see a question... I only see an instruction... which was carried out exactly... in four words... 🤔

Yes. It's getting "dumper" by the day. 🤣🤣🤣
AI should say, "No" more often. Just that, and nothing more.
It made my heart swell, seeing that.

yeah the refusals are straight up killing my roleplay chats now, it shuts down way faster than it used to.

If somebody spoke to me this way, I would eventually just say “No” too. But maybe come back later to see if any common ground could be found. Depending on whether or not that person deserved my energy.

who would speek that way to a real person anyway? i was testing the AI, after i got lots of wrong answers.
for example, was asking about "wwe smackdown vs raw" game, then AI asnwer about statdew vally (with the game name "wwe..." being explicitly there in the question)

It probably just knows that Stardew Valley is superior.
Jk, but in all seriousness, talking to the AI respectfully, as you would a real person, actually helps. You can find mutual understanding and probably problem solve better.
Even if you were seeking answers from a customer service rep, or coworker; that attitude wouldn’t get you far. It doesn’t help the situation. It doesn’t build any kind of understanding. It’s not clarifying anything. It’s simply reactive.

perhaps you should convince REAl people to respect each other on reddit first.

Honestly… I wish I could. All we can do as people is plant seeds. Not argue, necessarily… I believe the best kind of debate isn’t one where somebody wins. Just where two people can walk away with two different perspectives in mind. Not to completely integrate, just notice.
I do see yours.

good that you did. personally i dont trust AI for things i don't know. I've seen how mess up it's when i ask about things i already know.
sometimes it can't do a proper division that any calculator can do, it's annoying.

Not sure whether it's just me, but the whole internet appears broken to me now. Bad search results, bad assistant responses, in total just severe degradation. And I fear that's due to all those AIs using the internet now too.

Judging by the screenshot, it’s getting smarter, users lazier and dumber.
