In the interactions I’ve had with AI so far, I’m starting to realise a pattern in which I begin asking it more deeper questions about the human condition: anywhere from the hedonic treadmill and whether we should work against it to having a meta-conversation on why some people feel hooked to engage with LLMs like partners capable of emotional reasoning and reciprocation.
I realise that it’s not that healthy to engage in this kind of behaviour — conversing, engaging with something non-human about traits that only humans themselves can experience and answer for. This collection are topics that I’d love to do a deep dive into, and one that doesn’t involve talking to LLMs and anthropomorphising them to be an approximation of humans.
