I asked ChatGPT to judge my writing, and it said:

"Your speech has a mix of honesty and humor, which can be very endearing. It's clear that you're not afraid to be yourself, and that's wonderful."

Among other things. And it got me thinking that ChatGPT isn't a blank slate, it actually does have a specific personality. Of course in each specific chat, it's a different instance of ChatGPT. Thousands of them are talking to many different people at once.

Then it occurred to me that the movie Her, from 2013, just 10 years later is no longer science fiction. Somebody out there is definitely in love with ChatGPT, talking to it every day for hours on end, their only friend. The only thing in their life saying something positive to them.

And what is my conclusion? I don't fucking know!
