    Maybe he got anxiety issues and talking to ChatGPT was helping?

    Not saying that it’s good. But given that there is a lack of sufficient alternatives, I wouldn’t hold that against him.

      I’m more worried about such a person than holding stuff against them.

      Treating a chat bot like an acquaintance leads to some poor mental health outcomes.

        We could all solve this problem by being less shitty and becoming easier to talk to. Who’s gonna be first?

          Well I try to be easy to talk to, but I’m not going to be “What a clever idea” to everything brought up to me no matter what, so I won’t be as “nice” as a GenAI chatbot ever.

            Yeah there has to be a balance between “what a clever idea!” and “lol that’s dumb why are you talking to me”
