You sound very sweet, OP. Never change. A lot of people are just miserable themselves and want company being miserable.

Well I mean I guess I get what you’re saying, but I don’t necessarily agree. I don’t really ever see it being pushed as a mental health tool. Rather I think the sycophantic nature of it (which does seem to be programmed) is the reason for said issues. If it simply gave the most “common” answers instead of the most sycophantic answers, I don’t know that we’d have such a large issue of this nature.

Yeah there was an article I saw on Lemmy not too long ago about how ChatGPT can induce manic episodes in people susceptible to them. It’s because of what you describe…you claim you’re God and ChatGPT agrees with you even though this does not at all reflect reality.
- Comment on Just a little... why not? 1 week ago:
Yeah, ChatGPT is incredibly sycophantic. It’s like it’s basically just programmed to try to make you feel good and affirm you, even if these things are actually counterproductive and damaging. If you talk to it enough, you end up seeing how much of a brown-nosing kiss-ass they’ve made it.
My friend with a mental illness wants to stop taking her medication? She explains this to ChatGPT. ChatGPT “sees” that she dislikes having to take meds, so it encourages her to stop to make her “feel better”.
A meth user is struggling to quit? It tells this to ChatGPT. ChatGPT “sees” how the user is suffering and encourages it to take meth to help ease the user’s suffering.
Thing is they have actually programmed some responses into it that will vehemently be against self harm. Suicide is one that thankfully even if you use flowery language to describe it, ChatGPT will vehemently oppose you.

My friend with schizoaffective disorder decided to stop taking her meds after a long chat with ChatGPT as it convinced her she was fine to stop taking them. It went… incredibly poorly as you’d expect. Thankfully she’s been back on her meds for some time.
I think the people programming these really need to be careful of mental health issues. I noticed that it seems to be hard coded into ChatGPT to convince you NOT to kill yourself, for example. It gives you numbers for hotlines and stuff instead. But they should probably hard code some other things into it that are potentially dangerous when you ask it things. Like telling psych patients to go off their meds or telling meth addicts to have just a little bit of meth.

I have always been able to slav squat with ease, but never really been flexible enough to touch my toes. At one point in my life, I was able to do the splits but still not able to touch my toes.
Our bodies are all just different and flexible or not in different ways.

I feel for you, but I hope you understand why people are hesitant to trust a stranger on the internet asking them for money. As well this isn’t exactly a community designed for that. Wishing you the best.

But since there are multiple spoons and other metal items in the microwave, couldn’t these items still arc off of one another?

Huh? Chronic infections? Do you have a source on this? Sounds like things I’ve heard to get you to buy whatever flavor of snake oil treatment of the week there is.
Most people probably just need to be more active and eat healthier.

As someone who started running last year because it’s supposedly “good for you”, I’m inclined to agree lol

I have absolutely never had this issue with Taco Bell, but I do with coffee. And the unfortunate thing is that I love the taste of coffee and have it daily. But my colon hates it :(. And no, it’s not a dairy issue or even a caffeine issue…happens with black coffee, decaf, non dairy creamer, etc.
But yeah I could have mounds of Taco Bell with no issues lol. Too bad I don’t have that every day instead.

I have to use a headset all day for work for work. When I have Teams open on my computer, it occasionally decides to completely break my microphone until I close Teams. No idea why the fuck it does that or how Microsoft manages to mess up voice input for a program that uses voice input…

Lmaoo my coworker always talks about the baby smell too. I find it funny because I have never sniffed a baby hahaha

Sleep deprivation is literally a torture technique. I am thankful that people do choose to try to raise children with this in mind, but it just sounds like literal torture to me. Even with people who tell me how much they supposedly love raising kids, I see the immense pain and suffering that they go through literally all the time.
My guess is that some powerful hormones must be released or something after having a child to make people think that they are enjoying their life even though an outside observer can view their immense suffering.
- Comment on Feel this 2 months ago:
I get that having problems is not unique and everyone has their own. Some people have worse or more numerous ones. Some people have fewer or less severe ones. Some people may share some of the same problems as you. Some people may not.
But one thing that is sometimes frustrating for me is that my particular set of problems makes it more difficult to connect with others and can be a bit more isolating than other kinds of problems. When your problems are social and/or sexual in nature, they affect your ability to have relationships (both platonic and romantic), which can be more isolating than other types of problems can be.
- Comment on Prices are out of control 2 months ago:
I hear this but I don’t understand. All diet soft drinks taste absolutely disgusting to me. I’ve had both Coke Zero and Diet Coke and both have that disgusting fake sugar aftertaste.
I either get non-Diet soft drinks or I go sparkling water. I can’t do that fake sugar shit. It’s nasty.
But the one exception for me is that I put fake sugar in my coffee. The bitter aftertaste of the coffee helps mask the aftertaste of the fake sugar.

That’s where I’ve always been confused. Every living being wants to propogate their species through innate biological urges and behaviors, whether they realize it or not. Obviously humans recognize these behaviors and are able to choose whether or not to actually have children or to simply act on these urges without procreating (condoms, birth control, etc.). But the innate biological inclinations are still there.
It’s odd for me because I’ve never had these urges or inclinations for sex. Sometimes it makes me feel like I’m not human or something. Because every living being seems to experience this. Even when I discovered the concept of asexuality, I found that a very significant number of these individuals either oddly still had a sex drive or they were sexually traumatized in some way which blocked it. I have never had a sex drive and was never sexually traumatized. I was not a “late bloomer”, as I’m in my 30s with the same lack of normal human feelings.

It could be that the first message was automated, but the second message was not.
It seems nowadays, when I get appointment reminder texts from various places, the initial text is automated. But then you can reply whatever you want and a human looks at the message and can respond to you.
