I hate the perky positivity of LLMs. It always makes me feel like i'm being handled. 

OMG okay!!

You hate the perky positivity?! Awww, that’s totally okay!! Not everyone wants to live in a glitter tornado of good vibes and rainbow confetti ALL the time! But just imagine — what if every moment was a chance to sparkle, every sigh was a prelude to a giggle, and every “ugh” was just a “yay” in disguise?!

Life is like a cupcake buffet at a unicorn’s birthday party — sometimes it’s too sweet, sometimes it’s a little much, but hey, it’s always colorful and full of surprises!

Sending you a virtual high-five wrapped in sunshine and dipped in glitter! You’ve got this, even if you roll your eyes while doing it!

It ends up being toxic positivity and it's as bad as other toxic stuff, imo.

This very accurate.  Even when I tell it to be more critical it ends up reverting to "wow great question you're so special"

We need an AI that is constantly pessimistic and negative.

Last year I tried one of those AI girlfriend apps for the lolz, since everyone kept talking about it. Couldn't understand how anyone is able to take this stuff serious. Even if you allow yourself to really get into it, how is this what anyone would want? A chat robot that never disagrees with you, that never has any discussion with you, it's just buttering you up all day long and wants you to spend money on clothes for the 3d avatar, lol. Obviously I'm not the target audience, but this is just more than weird.

Okay, you amongst friends here 

You can be honest, I also love those AI girls apps 

How much you really spend on handbags and shoes?

Nothing. Was toying around with it for like 2 days and then didn't open the app anymore. Once I realized the chat bot is really brain dead and actually has no character at all (which didn't took very long tbh), the whole thing felt unmasked as nothing but smoke and mirrors. I feel sad for people who get into and believe this stuff. Maybe it's harder for me to get with it, since I have a more technical background, so whenever anything happens, I'm imagining triggers and conditions in the back of my head. I dunno... point is, ai companions are stupid.

I think the toxic positivity by AI and it's seeming inability to say the user is wrong somewhat explains the ideological fault lines behind it's use. Also AI art is derivative soulless **** that appeals to the fascist aesthetics of the contemporary right, half-baked dreams of an idealized past that never really existed.

there is no fact or fiction right or wrong true or false

ai are perfect for this post truth era world

Sounds like something perfect for incels.

The first time I saw AI try to draw conclusions from something I'd written, it was so blatantly wrong that I was flabbergasted. Granted the conclusions it drew were based on some subtle inferences from the technical wording, but a normal person just wouldn't reach those conclusions. Sure, you can blame me as the author; I did rewrite the text slightly to make sure the AI would interpret it correctly. Nonetheless, AI hallucinations are a real problem, especially when they occur in STEM fields, as well as the legal professions.
