    This is actually real, there are a LOT of people over hat r/ChatGPT and I’m told TikTok who have some serious withdrawal symptoms. Apparently they liked to get their egos stroked all the time and can’t comprehend writing with a chatbot which acts a bit more differentiated.

    A assume OpenAI knew about this and calculated the amount of money it costed them to have a lot of people befriend their 4o model…

    I feel like this is proof AI has passed some emotional Turing test. What are the long term implications of individuals turning away from each other for support and turning towards AI to fulfill emotional needs?

    Is this actually real or just a great example of dead internet theory?

    Are these people serious? Or is it one if those reddit groups like the one where they pretend birds are all government drones?

    We are serious. Why is it a big deal as I asked in a previous thread? Throw the people a bone please.
