To be fair, most of the posts that people are commenting to break up on are like “Hey, so my significant other stabbed me in the stomach last week and as I was sitting in the hospital, I realized that it just made me feel disrespected, ya know?
This of course all happened after he told my parents he owns me and they can’t see me ever again and he threw my cat out of a 4 story window.
What should I do guys?”

Does anyone else think that LLMs have been regressing in the last 2 years. At least in the area of deep questions. Initially you could push the limits and actually bounce crazy ideas off of them and get some creative results.

Now they basically they always give you a canned answer that sounds like it was pre-approved by a committee.

“Divorce them” “Break up asap”

Alright, I’ve looked through the overwhelming amount of responses telling me to end things with him and I’m so grateful for all the support, but I’ve decided that I’m going to stay with him and we’re going to get pregnant asap .
I’ve realized that I just can’t live without him (even if that means it comes with the occasional black eye).
I’ll always forgive him. He is my brother after all.

So if I tell it that I'm literally a slave who is beaten and sexually violated daily, it's still going to tell me to stay in that situation? That seems helpful.

Usually it's the opposite. Loss aversion puts us in bad places for far too long.

100% people should break up much more often statistically speaking. But uprooting your life is understandably very hard.

The medium is also filled with so much bullshit like "the kids will be sad" when in reality almost always kids end up better in divorced families than the ones that struggle to stay together.

Yeah my parents fucked me up by staying together despite hating each other

I’ve been playing with ai, pushing the limits of it as a therapy tool (I’m being honest, but I’m using myself as a test case). I’m really trying to evaluate it in good faith, mostly to try to see what’s addicting folks to it these days.

I just cannot get it to pass my “Turing test”. It’s just so sycophantic. Every time I get close to feeling like there’s something there, it falls back into the “blow smoke up your ass mode.”

So far my hours of conversing has only convinced me that folks who follow chatbot advice for such important life decisions, probably deserve it. I’m happily married, but if a girl ever broke up with me because a LLM told her to, I’d probably login to thank it (joke).

As an atheist I'm feeling really weird in saying that I think these folks would be better off listening to a religious leader (any denomination) as they would say least offer some human advice.

The misguided sheep management role is one of the strongest arguments I can muster in favor of organized religion.

If you have that type of problem then why are you even going to ChatGPT to begin with?
