We want people to know that they’re interacting with a language model and not a person. But we also want them to know they’re interacting with an imperfect entity with its own biases and with a disposition towards some opinions more than others. Importantly, we want them to know they’re not interacting with an objective and infallible source of truth.
This is exactly why I use claude over chatgpt. Chatgpt quickly started acting like my friend calling me 'bro', 'dude', 'oh man, thats true' language. which i liked on first day and became weird later on.
Claude 4 Opus dropped in to this casual mode in my first conversation with it today, after I flattered it. It began starting replies with “oh fuck, that’s wild” and such.
I hate that google shuts down their services so much. I was using Google Podcast a lot and then I switched to Pocket Casts a year ago. Luckily I have no dependency on it. I have so much notes on Google Keep that I am genuinely worried if they shut it down. They might give prior notice and I can easily export. I think except Search, Maps, Mail, YouTube anything else could be taken down any time.
Same happening with their Domains. I was also using hangouts a lot. It just makes my so anxious to use any of their product.
I have to use any google product keeping in mind that it could get shut down any day.
