    I was having lunch at a restaurant a couple of months back, and overheard two women (~55 y/o) sitting behind me. One of them talked about how she used ChatGPT to decide if her partner was being unreasonable. I think this is only gonna get more normal.

      A decade ago she would have been seeking that validation from her friends. ChatGPT is just a validation machine, like an emotional vibrator.

      I don’t think people who think very much would bother to ask ChatGPT, unless they didn’t have any friends, because it’s quite obvious that relationship advice is delicate and you certainly want the advice giver to know something about your situation. You know, like your friends do, like computers don’t.

      We don’t even have to look at the low quality advice, because there’s no way it would be informed advice.
