Feel this deeply!! Chat GPT lays on the flattery thick and if you open the door, you’ll find yourself feeling strangely connected to this non-person internet being that’s willing to trudge through your questions and problems with you tirelessly. Something equal parts spooky and extremely comfortable 😂

Ohhh this was a fascinating read. I do use ChatGPT for things like, "put together a four day itinerary for four 50-year old women near a national park, hot springs, and a bar." (True story, this trip is planned for July - I'll write about it later.)

I do worry about privacy, and I learned that you can turn on "temporary mode" in ChatGPT so it will not (supposedly) save your chat. I haven't engaged in the back and forth with ChatGPT. I'm a Scorpio, so I'm already fairly suspicious, and I'm extra suspicious of ChatGPT. To be fair, I asked it a question about Brown Act meeting protocols, and it put its hands up and said, I can't help with anything related to government matters. Very interesting.

I never thought about asking ChatGPT where I should submit my work (I haven't submitted in a long time, but that is kind of brilliant. Work smarter, not harder.)

To be fair - I am not anti-AI. AI is not the future, it is already here. I think it is up to us to figure out how do we use it in a way that enhances our creativity without erasing what makes us human.

I am also paranoid about privacy! That is one of my greatest concerns, to be honest.

I've never used it but I read an essay about a woman who cheated on her husband (emotionally) with AI. It sounds like it's smart enough to adjust to you. Red flag AI will love bomb and mirror you like a narcissist in the beginning.i don't know how this story ends but I want to scream ruuuun!
