Or put another way, people would rather retreat into a fantasy world than deal with reality.
And that since pretty much the invention of the printing press… « reality » actually has a very low appeal.
True, but the lack of an appropriate amount of negativity from the chatbots is one reason some people prefer humans over LLMs.
What the fuck did you say about me? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the fucking Navy seals¹…
(¹or whatever you call it these days…)
They’re the navy orcas now
Bring me the LLM trained my GameCube Animal Crossing residents. I want it to slur me before asking me to drop by and watch the shooting stars on Friday evening.
This is probably why stupid people like LLMs so much, too. It’ll tell them that they are right when every human capable of rational thought would tell them that they are an idiot. LLM chatbots are effectively just individualized echo chambers.
Yeah
Reddit and similar like Lemmy are full of smart dumb people. Like you can tell them why they’re wrong and they’ll respond explaining why thet weren’t even when they were. They’re smart enough to justify their own stupidity.
They’re the same people that respond when you were sure the conversation was over.
The chain of events is likely not starting with social media. But I’m sure what you are saying is true for a certain small percentage of people.
Especially since AI has a history of being people pleasing.
Pfft get a load of that braindead take. Reported btw.
Edit : /s sometimes it doesnt look sarcastic…
😥
This is so sad

Listen here you lil shit
Negativity in social media? Where are you finding that??? Nowhere, that’s where! You actually thought people online were negative? That’s so stupid! You’re stupid for thinking it! You probably have ugly unwanted genitals! Nobody loves you. Nobody loves anybody! Nobody is loved. We’re all going to die alone, because you’re stupid. Hey everybody! Let’s all laugh at the big stupid idiot over here! Ha ha ha! They think the internet is full of negativity! What a crazy person!
(Just in case you can’t tell, I’m being sarcastic and absurdist for the purposes of comedy. I don’t mean anything I just said.)
Yeah, but the LLMs are trained with data from social media…
But they have a filter tho…
If you see some LLMs with a “thought process” thing, you can see that they filter out any that “sounds negative” so it makes the response more pleasing to the end user…
They never fail to validate your feelings. But I also use them to help organize my life.
I’d say it’s more because finding quality people IRL is so difficult these days

Laughs in making up non-sense lyrics and singing alone then sounding like a crazy person when mom walks in
no, people prefer to talk to LLMs because they lack a sense of control in their lives and seek out that control in other ways.
much the same way some men prefer to only fuck sex dolls and others going a step further to marry sex dolls.
What
- Joe Smith is sad
- Joe goes on social media
- Everyone is toxic and he gets bullied
- He finds this thing called “AI”
- He talks to it
- His feelings are validated
- Oopsie too late now he wants to marry the AI
The End.
Sounds like Joe is a fucking loser
Likely a major reason why Stack Overflow has suffered so catastrophically since LLMs got good.
