On average, my discussions with chatGPT are more pleasant and insightful than the ones I have with real humans
The best conversations I still have are with real people, but those are rare. With ChatGPT, I reliably have good conversations, whereas with people, it’s hit or miss, usually miss.
What AI does better:
It’s willing to discuss esoteric topics. Most humans prefer to talk about people and events.
It’s not driven by emotions or personal bias.
It doesn’t make mean, snide, sarcastic, ad hominem, or strawman responses.
It understands and responds to my actual view, even from a vague description, whereas humans often misunderstand me and argue against views I don’t hold.
It tells me when I’m wrong but without being a jerk about it.
Another noteworthy point is that I’m very likely on the autistic spectrum, and my mind works differently than the average person’s, which probably explains, in part, why I struggle to maintain interest with human-to-human interactions.
I'm pretty sure chat bots are biased to make polite conversation. Most real people won't spend the energy in a conversation to be more honest than they think you are.
Can either get better at sounding honest or talk with less honest people.
