    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.

        That sounds really rough, buddy, I know how you feel, and that project you’re working is really complicated.

        Would you like to order a delicious, refreshing Coke Zero™️?

          I can see how targeted ads like that would be overwhelming. Would you like me to sign you up for a free 7-day trial of BetterHelp?

      Its a roundabout way of writing “its really shit for this usecase and people that actively try to use it that way quickly find that out”
