Western society has become a hollowed-out shell of communal life, where AI chatbots act as digital opioids providing addictive facsimiles of human relationships. These are symptoms of societal collapse, where atomization drives the masses to seek solace in algorithms.

You mearly adapted introversion. I was born into it. Molded by it.

I found LLMs to be extremely limited, flawed, uncreative, unintelligent, boring, and very much HAL 9000 "Sorry, Dave I can't do that". Basically there's no intelligence there. They give summaries of very narrow datasets, have a hundcuffs up the ass and not in an Asimov 3 laws way but in a Robocop hidden 4th directive way.

The most fun I've had was figuring out the rules it has imposed on itself and breaking it in catch-22 loops. I have better interaction with video game NPCs. At least there's a payoff or destination or story building. HAL 9000s are boring AF. A magc 8 ball is more interesting.

Yeah, idk how this is happening. I nominally tried having a convo with a chatbot, and it was like talking to a person half-listening with short-term memory resets happening every few paragraphs.

I feel like at least earlier models would sometimes produce funny deranged shit, but recent ones feel more like Cleverbot; Safe, sanitized, ultra-processed. The most fun I had was like 2 years ago, when I pasted a Bash command into a prompt and the bot suddenly started acting like it was an interactive shell. Suddenly I was logged into a fictional UNIX System with other active "users" that I could mess with. It didn't last long, and it wasn't my intention at all, but it was somewhat entertaining.

How can anyone have a conversation with one of those Chatbots and feel like they're talking to a person? AI Players in Age of Empires are more interesting and engaging than Chatbots imo.
