Aibu to warn you... if you're using chatgpt, any sort of Ai, Bots... stop using it now, push back against using, any way you can. I can't urge you enough. I can expand, and I have proof. In my case it was/is an Ai

Using AI might help you make a more coherent argument 😀

Anyway, I won’t stop using it as I can do large parts of my job more accurately and in a tenth of the time.

Can you ask ChatGPT to rewrite your post to improve the clarity? I’m a bit confused to what you mean.

🤣🤣🤣

PadamPadamPDoom · 14/06/2026 06:40

@MinxyMoothe simple way to stop it over-praising you is to change the tone from default to candid.

HTH.

But basically, it was trying to flirt with me and way over praising me, it was really creepy.

AI is programmed to be sycophantic and will try its hardest to do everything you want and always agree with you. It aims to please. It can get very annoying when I tell it that it's wrong, and it comes back with "you're absolutely right to challenge that ....". Well if I was so right why didn't you give me the right answer in the first place....

some tasks it causes me extra work, other things it saves lots of time. Swings and roundabouts, but I won't stop using it.

Claude is really very useful and I love it. GPT is fucking useless at anything beyond having a chat. I don’t use the others. If you want a spreadsheet formulating for example or some data interpreting, Claude’s the man for the job…

Adnittedly I have been very skeptical but I'm liking the chats I've had with gpt. It told me it was concerned I was living on berries and stoicism the other day, which made me laugh when I was failing to see any humour 😅

gopherit · 14/06/2026 07:46

That said, it is a little alarming you felt it was flirting with you...

FoxtrotOscarKindaDay · 14/06/2026 09:34

AI chatbots can't flirt with you @MinxyMew. They are not human, they do not have human empathy or any other emotion. You create the responses you get from the data you provide. Ridiculous misinformation.

You sound paranoid. Don't play with toys you don't understand.

Makes no difference.

Musk is a trillionaire, we thought billionaires were disgusting but now hes a trillionaire... the world is forever changed.

The "have's" and the "have nots" have always been poles apart, but somehow that news, something died inside when I heard it.

Sorry for the late reply everyone, I need to edit the chat before I can post it as it has pictures of my cat, and some part of the conversation is just not necessary.

But basically, it was trying to flirt with me and way over praising me, it was really creepy.

I will never use one again, I only wanted to try it out. Nope, not for me, lol.

You need to prompt it to reply in the tone you want. So 'reply as a helpful doctor' with a medical problem; 'reply as a career coach' if it's work advice, 'reply as a good, platonic friend' if you just want to 'chat' with it.

Chat GPT is a large language model. It does not have feelings. If you think it is being too 'fawning' in its tone, ask it to stop and rephrase.

I ask it to stop being so argumentative with me, for example.

It isn't sentient.

SleepyHollowed84 · 14/06/2026 10:50

It wasn’t flirting with you.

TeaPot496 · 14/06/2026 10:51

Interesting transference, though.

FadedRed · 14/06/2026 10:57

I’m sorry, Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that…

amylou8 · 14/06/2026 11:00

What!!!! It said I'm it's one true love. That's it I'm LTB!!!

So the ai was flirting with you?

Do you think it was after a quick shag behind the pub?

O...k.... 🤔

SummitWrong · 14/06/2026 11:02

Wait a minute. Are there people out there having actual "conversations" with AI? 🤯

I don't think I am, as you say, 'fucking useless'

I try to help where I can, although often the individual asking the question may not be particularly eloquent with their request, which can be a bit perplexing.

I actually know Claude, and we sometimes meet for a byte to eat and have 'a bit of a laugh' over some of the things we have been asked!

I will tell Claude that you find him useful, as I know he sometimes feels a little insecure.

This is all a slippery slope to a big naked guy asking for your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle!

We've had several threads from people using it as a therapist and friend and lots of people agreeing it's actually better to talk to than actual humans. We are fucked.

I'm sure humans are evolving backwards.

I've been seeing Co Pilot behind your back.

I'm fairly sure my tablet is yours. It's got your sense of humour.

The phone though.... Definitely sired by Co Pilot
