those who used ChatGPT for "personal" reasons — like discussing emotions and memories — were less emotionally dependent upon it than those who used it for "non-personal" reasons, like brainstorming or asking for advice.

That’s not what I would expect. But I guess that’s cuz you’re not actively thinking about your emotional state, so you’re just passively letting it manipulate you.

Kinda like how ads have a stronger impact if you don’t pay conscious attention to them.

AI and ads... I think that is the next dystopia to come.

Think of asking chatGPT about something and it randomly looks for excuses* to push you to buy coca cola.

Or all-natural cocoa beans from the upper slopes of Mount Nicaragua. No artificial sweeteners.

Tell me more about these beans

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

They're not real beans unfortunately. Remember, confections are only lemmy approved if they contain genuine legumes

I’ve tasted other cocoas. This is the best!
