AI replies

Hi I have noticed on here that sometimes someone will reply with what looks like a very AI response to someone’s question. Initially the message looks kind and understanding, but after a while it seems obvious to me that it’s AI. (As someone who has tried Chat GPT a few times). I am wondering if people might use it to put a ‘good’ reply to a thread on here? And genuinely mean well, or if it’s just weird? It makes me feel uncomfortable that might just be me though.

  • One of the aspects of  's  AI generated responses that I note is the absence of human doubt.

    It is very sure of itself unlike humans (and especially autistic ones) who tend to question everything.

    All the pithy statements are written with great certainty.

  • This is a really poignant observation. Reading back over some of the Ai stuff I can sense how unnerving that aspect of it is. 

    It has got me thinking and thinking about why people might seek out such a certain and unwavering “voice” rather than striving to get more comfortable with the paradoxes, uncertainties, insecurities and “um, maybe”s inherent in being sentient. 

  • .I think there are lots of people who can't deal with uncertainties and grey areas and there always have been even before AI came along. They can be very hard work for those of us who live in grey areas and are uncomfrtable with absolutes, I guess it goes the other way too, but black and white thinking people can never seem to let go of the idea that others are quite happy to live with few absolutes, that some of us find comfort, creativity and happiness in those liminal spaces.

    I don't think asking Ai if you'd rather have brocolli or cauliflower would be helpful, ot would probably ask you how you wanted to eat them, then recomend you get both.

  • Ha ha … yes… maybe the AI would make the decision harder because it would want to discuss recipes etc. That would actually make me break-down properly in the shop.
