I’m guessing this is mainly a joke, but it’s really not training them to do anything except offload the “labor” of relationships to a third party and that women are video games where selecting the right dialogue options will get you your preferred ending.
Not everyone has good role models. Would you rather people get advice from Andrew Tates or Grok? Because you might want it to be someone other than those options but right now that is what a lot of people are picking between and we have no way of reaching and stopping them from picking poorly. As awful as Grok is, it manages to be somehow better than the other options.
If the user is reading the response and then thinking about it and adapting the suggestions to their own style of speaking, maybe they’ll learn something over time. Studies have shown that students who use LLMs as a tutor do improve their understanding of material.
If they’re copy/pasting like most of the world, then there’s evidence to suggest that they’ll actually get worse at the thing they’re offloading to the LLM.
This is still better than what my mother would do when her and her second husband were arguing. She would call me or one of my brothers to try to get us to take her side in the argument.
We would have much preferred her taking it to AI than trying to drag us into her disagreements.
If you need an AI to tell you that you don’t deserve either. You got to get in your car and drive around it two o’clock in the morning or it isn’t worth it.
The real problem is that only the first part of the wish got granted: everyone has computers, but they don’t know how they work and thus can’t use them responsibly.
Our bosses sold this “AI analysis system” thing to another company, and for the most part it was a horribly vibecoded but otherwise unremarkable dashboard. But the AI analysis part? It’s a fucking chatbot that all it does is ask you which graph and which data you want and it picks from list of preset graphs in the frontend code, and then makes a call to preset endpoints in the backend to get the data to fill it… All things that could be done without the chatbot in the middle.
That’s the thing you decided was the topic of importance to comment about…? Trying to not read too much into this but I can’t deny that your comment is very weird, there’s so much worse going on.
Uploading entire conversation to a data harvesting company is so wise…
I’ve seen many screenshots of people genuinely doing that. It’s disturbing.
“My BF and I are arguing, help me win.”
“Tell me how to respond to this girl I’m interested in.”
This might actually be a win. It will accidentally train them to be polite and courteous.

Who doesn’t like a happy ending?
The person cleaning the massage tables.

I have a feeling Grok specifically is probably trained on folk like Andrew Tate.
like asking do you want syphilis or aids…
It depends on the usage.

You know tgere’s people that upload complete, unedited customer data with a prompt “write personalized emails for these customer to sell x”

Oh my God it’s a joke.
I’ve known at least one who has; of course it was for different purposes, outcomes and all that.
But it’s very possible, and realistic.
Which is what makes the joke funny
ChatGPT, where is the best place to buy methamphetamines and a hooker locally?
If you need an AI to tell you that you don’t deserve either. You got to get in your car and drive around it two o’clock in the morning or it isn’t worth it.
Just like my father did and his father before him. AI can’t replace traditions.
Go to your local sex shop and ask. That’s where the hooker who bought me booze when I was 18 would work
god i miss craigslist.
Isn’t Craigslist still alive but barely kicking? Some wild and very overt things in the missed connections section.
Edit
Still alive and horny
yes,but it’s only used by boomers anymore.
Sounds nice. I don’t know what the issue is?
To be fair, those conversations probably happened on the data harvesting company’s platform.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ if the conversation was via a centralised platform like WhatsApp, SMS, or Discord, they probably already have it…
Me in the 90s: computers are great, I wish everyone has access to them and know how to use them.
Me today: hey genie, can I get one more wish to undo my last one.
The real problem is that only the first part of the wish got granted: everyone has computers, but they don’t know how they work and thus can’t use them responsibly.
Lmao, try accounting software with automatic uploads for the entire staff.
Supposed to do accountants math, cause that’s something computers struggled with so much before /s

Most “AI products” are the same griftware.
Neither is posting the same meme that’s been posted 5 times in a week, but here we are.
