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

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.
 
Ha, I've done the same thing with ChatGP, and then I thanked him [or her?] for the answers I got, and he [she?] responds with a welcome, and asks if I want more details. I just now went there and asked, "How are you this morning?" - and got this back: "I’m feeling sharp and ready to dive into whatever you’ve got today. How’s your morning shaping up so far?"

It’s so lonely here perhaps I will try it. How is it done?

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.]

This link for ChatGP should not require a sign in

This is not rocket science. Just talk about whatever. AI does have a knowledge base wider than probably any human on Earth, so it seems to be knowledgeable about anything you bring up.

It can get a little scary sometimes, can't it, Dave? I asked it a medical question for a neighbor and it kind of creeped me out how it was saying it could do more and more and "dig deeper." It was very helpful, but I'm not understanding how anyone could think it's a real person or worse yet, "fall in love" and run off to meet as I've heard happens sometimes. Beyond my comprehension.
 
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?

I accidentally permitted Alexa to upgrade to Alexa Plus. What a freaking nightmare. Trying to return to standard Alexa was nearly impossible. I ultimately contacted Amazon chat, saying I was going to throw out my echo dots and move to Google if they didn't restore my old Alexa version. Ten seconds later it was fixed.

I want robots to sound like robots. Don't pretend to be human, or to be my "friend" or attempt draw me into a conversation. Give me the information I requested then shut the hell up. Don't "reflect" what I say with BS like, "It sounds like you're frustrated with this version of Alexa Plus, I can offer you XYZ version instead."

I don't want to engage with robots and they're not my shrinks. Just answer the specific question I asked (what's the weather?) and leave it at that.
 
When I travel to daughter's house abut 4–5-hour drive spouse gets audio books read by AI ....
I find it funny as many words are mispronounced and so monotone. I prefer a person.

some people like it and that is fine but so far not for me.
just on computers we used to put less than half and it would pop up and we pick new AI help ... it will not even recognize if item was entered with a capital letter and in search i do not capitalize causes much longer to find what i want not an improvement.
Most AI "help" on computer at work is nonsensical and email suggestions are so wrong in grammar or tone.

I wonder. Could you add to that list, "Because AI is right, and you're wrong." :)
 
I don't know if this makes any difference or not, but I ALWAYS use Chrome's incognito mode for everything I do, and I have my settings to clear cookies and history every time I close the browser. I have never had any ads, prompts, or suggestions from ChatGP, etc. to do such and such or buy anything.

I ask it questions like Google, mostly typing. It's just that Google is now replaced with AI.

But Alexa or something, no thanks. They can use it for good in hospitals, help doctors.

But I keep thinking about that text about the image of the beast.

telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
