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.

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.

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.

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