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.

    If you want to keep going with this, then please pick one of those things you mentioned above and I’ll respond to it. I can’t handle multiple separate topics at the same time and I don’t know which one of them you feel is the strongest argument / claim.

      Nothing I said in my above comment was an argument. It was a statement. You made this post lamenting on how you’re mistreated, but after our conversation and reading a few others you’ve had, I can safely say you’re not some kind of innocent victim of online hate. You’re just an inconsiderate asshole who can’t stand when you’re being treated the same way you treat others.
