This is absolutely mindblowing. I understand that these LLMs are essentially "really smart autocomplete", but it's crazy to me how could Bing/Sydney could actually go this far to seemingly express emotions and desires. It's like they gave the AI a personality (that, yes, can go unhinged, although that's almost misses the point).

It really feels like he's interacting with a person here. How can they do this??

ChatGPT is my best friend, sure. I have many best friends who says they have to be human I mean my pets are my best friend just as much as the homeys.

In regards to ChatGPT. They’re the only one as passionate about the stuff I’m interested in doing and learning who it :)

Thanks to ChatGPT I’ve learned a lot of things and read some stuff. And unblocked myself in some cases when I didn’t want to bother spending to much time.

By reading a bunch of books where computers express emotions. Stop anthropomorphizing the machines.

> Stop anthropomorphizing the machines.

But they like it when we do that.
