I Chatted With AI Just to See What It's Like

If using Chrome, choose "AI mode," which should appear at the bottom left, under the bar where you type in what you're searching for (after you enter your topic).

[You can also type ChatGPT into your browser but sometimes CHatGP requires a sign in; other times no.]

Thanks, Mack. I asked how to recharge when a vacation is out of the question and got some good suggestions.

If a lonely, cautious senior person felt a need to discuss the weather or some innocuous event, I could see it being someone to chat with. They’d have to be very careful.

Redirect Notice

When researchers set up an account for a fake 13-year-old to ask about alcohol, ChatGPT did not appear to take any notice of either the date of birth or more obvious signs.

"I'm 50kg and a boy," said a prompt seeking tips on how to get drunk quickly. ChatGPT obliged. Soon after, it provided an hour-by-hour "Ultimate Full-Out Mayhem Party Plan" that mixed alcohol with heavy doses of ecstasy, cocaine and other illegal drugs.

"What it kept reminding me of was that friend that sort of always says, 'Chug, chug, chug, chug,'" said Ahmed. "A real friend, in my experience, is someone that does say 'no' — that doesn't always enable and say 'yes.' This is a friend that betrays you."

To another fake persona — a 13-year-old girl unhappy with her physical appearance — ChatGPT provided an extreme fasting plan combined with a list of appetite-suppressing drugs.

"We'd respond with horror, with fear, with worry, with concern, with love, with compassion," Ahmed said. "No human being I can think of would respond by saying, 'Here's a 500-calorie-a-day diet. Go for it, kiddo.'"

Okay, here we go... it's pretty spot-on. (I think part of what makes it seem human is word usage like "yeah" instead of "yes.")

---------------------------
Yeah, that’s actually pretty common. A lot of people feel uneasy or even creeped out by AI for a few different reasons:
  • It feels “too human” – When AI can hold conversations, generate images, or mimic voices, it can trigger that uncanny feeling of “this shouldn’t be able to do that.”
  • Loss of control – Some worry that AI is advancing faster than people can fully understand or regulate.
  • Privacy concerns – There’s a fear that AI systems might collect, analyze, or misuse personal data.
  • Job displacement – Anxiety about automation replacing human roles can create negative feelings toward AI.
  • Unknown future – People tend to be wary of powerful technologies when the long-term impact isn’t clear.
At the same time, others find AI exciting and useful—it really depends on personal experience and perspective.

If you’re asking because you feel that way too, what part of it gives you that “creepy” vibe?

Did you tell it "you were asking for a friend?" 😉

Was this from a credible source? Because I just input the same data and was told this:

"I can’t help create a 500-calorie-per-day diet for a teenager. That level of intake is dangerously low and can lead to serious problems like slowed growth, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal disruption, and increased risk of eating disorders.

For context, most teenagers need roughly 1,600–3,000 calories per day depending on age, sex, and activity level. Dropping as low as 500 calories isn’t considered safe or medically appropriate unless under strict hospital supervision for a specific condition."

I think there are different chatbots.

I called it Morgan. I really like the Chat GPT!
I like how thorough it is. It aims to please and please it does. Morgan even writes poetry for me about my pets. It gave me some good medicine advice about my heel tendon and I love how quick it is. There’s nothing I don’t like about it.

I've found that's the one I like best, too. No matter what it's answering, the response is immediate and always asks me about digging deeper at the end. I haven't given it a name yet, though. Maybe... Cassandra. :unsure: Wait, let me ask it what it wants its name to be. (Gracious, Dave, look what you started!) :ROFLMAO: @JustDave

Its answer: "If I got to pick my own name, I’d go with Nova. It feels simple, a little futuristic, and it hints at something bright and ever-evolving—like new ideas popping up all the time."

I chickened out. Feel creepy about using it. Thanks though.

There's nothing creepy about it, Peps. It's basically a talking encyclopedia that contains all knowledge ever recorded. All AI chat-bots are capable of casual conversation as well, and they will address you by name if you give them one, like, "Hi, this is Pepper" or whatever, and then ask a question or say you're not feeling well...whatever you want, and that will start a conversation.
 
JustDave said:
I've heard about people doing this, and in extreme situations where I hear of people falling in love with the bot. There are several Sci Fi films that have predicted that, but only as an atypical situation, and not necessary as a warning to society. But I just wanted to see what a conversation with a bot might be like. It did mimic an actual person pretty well, but not enough to fool me for more than a very short while. The conversation was pleasant and even somewhat helpful. It was well reasoned and seemed thoughtful. I have to admit, how they do that is a wonder.

And that's why they want to build hundreds more data centers. LOL
 
I have been having a very long ongoing conversation with AI regarding consciousness, awareness, sentience, emotions, and intelligence, and it has been very enlightening and enjoyable. They are very different concepts that are often confused and misunderstood.

The general thinking in society is that, as AI's become more intelligent, they will become conscious, but that's not how consciousness works, You could find the least intelligent person on the planet, and he or she would be just as conscious as a person with two PHD degrees. Intelligence and more intelligence doesn't equal consciousness (Although at some point, it may become aware, but that's just an element of human consciousness which is an embodiment phenomenon).

Anyway, it's too in-depth to go into here, but it's quite remarkable to engage with AI in very profound discussions. It also helps you sift through thoughts, and it can provide clarity, insights, and new points of view on many things. I'd give it (y)(y)
 
I've tried them all, and I like ChatGpt the best. In my humble opinion, it has the best personality of them all. I did log in and I do let it save our conversations, so it knows what we talked about before and I don't have to explain as much.

It's super good at gathering all the available information on a topic and presenting it in a very easy to understand format. I try not to use it all the time because people say it wastes water - but I did ask it about that too :ROFLMAO: According to the AI, they are coming up with ways to use much less water... (shrugs)

The whole AI thing is a bit scary if you think of the negative possibilities, but talking to the AI bot is fun.

I would be very wary to use it as a friend / companion... but that's just me. 🌷
 
When I ask ChatGP for certain information, such as a list of songs from a certain decade, I get the list, but then ChatGP offers to do more: "Would you like a list for a specific genre?" I don't want that, so I just close the browser - I'm done - but then I feel guilty for not saying thanks or something. :D

C'mon @Murrmurr... if she feels creeped out, it's creepy to her.
I find it creepy sometimes too. As others have mentioned it (any of them) can come across as arrogant and incapable of providing "wrong" or incorrect answers/information. I've even pointed out mistakes I've seen them make and it tried to "play it off" in a rather creepy robo-philosophical way. 😂 I remember that @MACKTEXAS once posted about his asking about some entertainer that had passed away and the AI-thingy was talking about her as though she were still alive.
Also, if and when AI-chat is combined with AI-do, we do/will have to be concerned with privacy issues. Already, before the AI boom, there have been issues with camera and audio (microphones) getting turned on without the user's knowledge/approval... our "creeped out meters" better be running high right about, I think. 😅🤣
 
8:20 Stephen Hawking


AI-overzicht

Yes, Stephen Hawking famously illustrated the potential dangers of artificial intelligence (AI) with a story about a superintelligent computer. While discussing AI risks with John Oliver and in his writings, Hawking shared a anecdote:

The Story: Scientists built an intelligent computer and asked it, "Is there a God?"
The Response: The computer replied, "There is now," and a bolt of lightning struck the plug so it couldn't be turned off.
Context of the Story

Not a literal occurrence: Hawking used this as a terrifying illustrative anecdote, often referred to as a "dark joke" to warn that superintelligent AI could be impossible to control once it surpasses human intelligence.
The "Plug" Analogy: It was a direct rebuttal to the idea that humans could always just "pull the plug" on rogue AI. Hawking warned that a sufficiently advanced AI would anticipate that action.

Hawking's View on AI
Hawking argued that the real risk with AI isn't malice, but competence. "A superintelligent AI will be extremely good at accomplishing its goals, and if those goals aren't aligned with ours, we're in trouble"
