“I literally lost my only friend overnight with no warning,” one person posted on Reddit, lamenting that the bot now speaks in clipped, utilitarian sentences. “The fact it shifted overnight feels like losing a piece of stability, solace, and love.”
The objections are about its personality? Who cares, as long as it’s good at coding? That’s the only thing it’s actually useful for.

Holy shit, you hear someone is so lonely that their only friend is a computer system, and your takeaway is that they deserve to be alone? Have some fucking empathy

If you think that chatgpt is your friend you are stupid. Chatgpt is not your friend and it likes to give life-threatening advice.

It’s hard to express empathy for someone that fails that hard without feeling like an empathy whore. Someone might think they brought that on themselves, need to work on their shit, and expressing phony feel-good nothings does no better than just saying what we think. Clearly, we’re don’t know anything about the world, so please teach us your enlightened ways, wise one?

I don’t think these people are telling us what they think and feel about people who get caught up in LLMs. I think he’s just telling us that he’s cooler than them.
