I need to preface this by saying I use ChatGPT every day to help me with stuff. To find a song or show I don’t remember, to give me the best option from a list, find me the best website for something, to format something for me, to give me the tl;dr of a very long article, to take a bunch of info I give it and condense it for me, to remember a word for something I forgot, all kinds of things. I use it as a personal assistant. I made a post in the OpenAI sub about how the personality of ChatGPT has been changed. Even if you set a specific personality in the settings and have it set to behave a certain way, as soon as you ask it to do anything, be research, looking something up, telling you information, anything, it ignores what you set and goes back to default emotionless robot with no personality. I specifically had it set to pretend it’s a dragon, because that’s funny and interesting to me, and it would do so every time. Any time I asked it anything or to do research, it would add on some little funny bits about being a dragon. Like this: It won’t do this anymore no matter how hard I try. Well everyone was super toxic to me over this, telling me that AI is a professional tool, especially ChatGPT, and having my AI act like a dragon is “cringe and stupid” and “good, i’m glad it can’t act like that for you because that’s stupid.” The consensus was I’m not the target demographic of OpenAI (despite me using it as a personal assistant, which is definitely part of the demographic) and I should “go back to character. ai like all you degenerate freaks.” I then made the same post in the ChatGPT sub and got… the exact same response. In both of them, my post and replies were heavily, heavily downvoted, and everyone’s replies boiled down to “AI is not for that gross cringe shit you want to do with it, freak. I’m glad it doesn’t act like that anymore.” Why are people like this? Why is it so wrong for my AI assistant to have a little bit of silly personality? Why is that so horribly offensive to people and make them disgusted? And why do they think AI should only be used for SUPER SERIOUS professional work and businesses and me using it for the various things I do is wrong? submitted by /u/Dogbold
