I keep saying it: The push for AI made so much more sense to me once I realized tech bros talked to it like a woman who won't talk back.

There's something about the way men use LLMs that feel like those men at the strip club who believe that the dancers like them for their personality and wit. They just want a toy that makes them feel good.

100% my co-worker said he likes “it takes tone out of it so I actually listen” - aka I don’t listen to anyone but myself… but this is a person who calls females “sweetheart” when he disagrees with them. And dislikes minorities. So it’s not just narcissistic but it helps.

Like you're literally doing the thing the OP was talking about. It fluffed you up by saying words about how you were asking an incredibly valid question and have hit on something real, and then it gave you a random fucking answer based on what was expected to be said.

There it is! You see this when people go "oh but the AI has actual real intelligence & therefore this art/writing/whatever has a viewpoint & worth" like you're telling me you think this thing is sentient & you're still claiming its output as yours? You're stealing the creative output of a sentience?

My God, that is so perceptive! One of the reasons I stopped using AI chatbots after some experimentation is that their vapid eagerness to please and fawning sycophancy got on my nerves. I never stopped to think that I was clearly not the target market for that pseudo-personality.

This is exactly why I can't stand the interactions with AI. Its so stupidly chipper and agreeable. Even when you tell it it's wrong. I keep meaning to test how it reacts if you tell it its wrong with lies (No, this is not right, the sky is green) but I can't stand using it long enough.

The first time I saw prompts it was like the light dawned. I had no idea they actually included things like the personality they were supposed to try to emulate. It was so gross.

I feel like people start falling into this trap as soon as they stop seeing it as a tool and start thinking of it as a person. Calling it an 'assistant' feeds into this, I suspect. It personifies what is essentially a set of instructions, like talking earnestly to Clippy.
