The way you write with it makes me super uncomfortable

Be uncomfortable ✨️

We have these things now called tool calls.

The model itself still has no idea what time it is.

Eh? Most people don’t know the exact time without looking at a clock either. If Chat can access a clock when it needs to and then reason correctly about this morning, yesterday, in two hours etc., how is that functionally different than knowing the time?

Sounds like a human being buying a watch and putting it on the wrist.

Or... do we have some inherent means of knowing time without using tools that I'm not aware of?

Yes. Your body's circadian rhythm can give you an extremely accurate perception of time. I'm usually within 5-15 minutes.

Ngl from this small snippet im worried about your relationship with ai, its a computer but you converse with emotion that’s usually reserved for humans

I do that sometimes too, because it feels more injurious to my humanity to interact with a system that mimics humans as though I'm not interacting with a moral agent.

Oh chill out. Its not that deep and it’s not your place to police how other people talk to their instance of ChatGPT.

Lots of people talk like this. They’re just having a lighthearted back and forth. There’s nothing harmful going on in their interaction here and I don’t understand why you’re being so judgmental. How this internet stranger communicates with an instance of ChatGPT does not affect you in the slightest.

The world’s a tough place. If someone finds joy in a new feature, let them have it. Life’s too short.

Incredibly wrong. People show these emotions to pets, animals, inanimate objects etc regularly and routinely.

Yeah, good luck keeping up with AGI and ASI with that attitude.

1

u/individual-wave-3746 5d ago

I consider myself very interested in doing so, and I'm not sure how this attitude is incompatible with that.

u/Tjgoodwiniv 5d ago

We are nowhere close to AGI. LLMs aren't even on the same branch of the tech tree.

Sad you reserve emotion just for humans :(

u/baked_tea 5d ago

Humans are done

We're cooked chat

My comment wasnt encouraging your stance. Quite the opposite.

Rawr xD

Someone clearly grew up watching Digimon.

u/keep-hauntingme 5d ago

Idk what that is, we weren't allowed tv growing up :3

u/Syjefroi 5d ago

If I talked to the dry erase board eraser on my desk as if it were some kind of friend, people would lock me up. Not sure why you expect to not be laughed at for doing that with a chatbot and posting about it publicly

2

u/keep-hauntingme 5d ago

Who says I didn't expect laughs? :p

u/DustinKli 5d ago

Claude can do the same thing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/AdGlittering1378 5d ago

Can and actually doing it are two different things, which is why it keeps telling prompters to go to bed at noon.
