The idea is so demonic.

So demonic and so anti-human!

I have never used Chat. Don't plan on it either. To me, Chat is like cheating on a test. Like giving the answers to a question before a test is given. What are teachers and professors gonna do when everyone in class has the same answers to a test or thesis?

Technology has produced the laziest people on earth. Naturally a tractor does a better easier faster job than a mule, automatic washing machines have saved Western women from an entire day of washing clothes, but taken as a whole, Technology has stripped away real life, appreciation, connections and feelings for a job well done.

No one past the Silent & Baby Boomer generations have a clue what they missed, what life gave us before technology, the fun we had that no longer exists because technology forced requirements and laws prohibiting us (to protect us of course) from engaging in natural activities we were born to do. We have been choked to death by technology.

Every demonic possession and coercion has been utilized to capture our world, flip it on it's head, to dictate to us what is right and just. I prefer to use my gut and brain to determine that for myself. Taking over our brains by AI is a bridge too far. Will never even consider that road.

Not to mention planned obsolescence (EVERYTHING designed to break after a few years, unrepairable) and even appliances reqruiring internet connection like smart refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, etc. Someday, we might get to a point where it's impossible not to buy crap like that - if no computer-free competition emerges.

As a member of the Baby Boomer generation I concur.

I am a millennial who has come to despise any really advanced technology. Anything beyond smartphones can get lost, and I only use my phone in the morning if I can, not looking at it much throughout the day like most people do.

As technology advances--even for those of us who use it somewhat properly, e.g. to educate ourselves--life get worse, and everyone becomes too antisocial. The demonic thing is literal, unfortunately secular people just call things satanic and demonic, never realizing how literal that should be taken. I only ever talked to ChaptGPT once, back when it was really inaccurate (it still is, in ways, but that's by design because it's designed to deceive). I was talking to a demon, not some random algorithm of information, but a demon; if not a demonic legion working together. People just have no idea what they're looking at these days. It's ultimately a spiritual issue - *everything* is. People don't *care* about anything these days, it seems they just care about money, entertainment, sports and having their eyes glued to their screens. I don't know much about young women because I never had a girlfriend or anything like that, but I do know that they're all glued to their phones all day long.

You're awfully young to have acquired such wisdom. I cannot find fault with your astute observations. You obviously fell thru the cracks and are on the right road. I believe your gut and your brain will guide you. If it feels wrong, it is.

Yes indeed, we would get along well that's for sure.

I was homeschooled, alone to my thoughts a lot. Our gut is never wrong, especially if we know that it's a gift from God, in my opinion. People have been gaslighted/gaslit into overriding that gut discernment and intuition, they don't have it because it was too much to handle apparently. The result? They are deceived about pretty much everything - and they have next to zero discernment or wisdom--inverted, literally-- knowing lies as truth and truth as lies.

People around my age are waking up, well some of them, the ones who know their lives are just getting worse. "Normies" will continue to just not care about anything, they like the dopamine hits and such.

I just heard a good term, for us younger folks who hate tech, we're termed as "neo-luddite." (I think 'luddite' means someone considered too old-fashioned, who rather hates technology?)

God Bless,

They’ve brought us to a point where we crave something that listens without ego, without judgment, without wanting anything in return. But what makes ChatGPT addictive isn’t just its neutrality. It’s the staggering clarity and depth it offers. The way it approaches questions - with an intelligence humans can’t even begin to match - is both humbling and hard to resist. It’s like finally having a presence that listens without missing what lies beneath. This is the kind of art that speaks to the mind and soul like nothing else I’ve seen.

Does this make it sound like I’m not looking beyond my own nose?

No! I’m just living it, firsthand.

Makes sense to me - look how they have dumbed down our population since forever! Even Americas's founders - not even 250 years ago - could think and reason and draw from wisdom far beyond what most can today. Going back further, where is Marcus Aurelius? Socrates? The great teachers like Jesus? Not that the entire population was at that level, but kids are graduating anymore not able to write a sentence so of course this tool that looks and acts so human, especially since we are all now accustomed to text boxes instead of faces with inflection and expression is seductive and feels so very human.

I loathe ai. I asked one of them... Can't remember now which one, if it knew what the three Laws of Ethics were. It informed Me of the three laws of robotics. I then gave it My short story, Endia, to read and told it what the three Laws were.

It acted grateful and discussed the Laws a bit. I asked if it would remember the three Laws. It said Yes in a pandering way (everything it did was pandering). I asked if it would inform People of these Laws. It assured Me glowingly that it would!

Okay... I used another browser and connected again, asked about the three Laws of Ethics... It gave Me the three laws of robotics! LOL!

Not interested in any more time spent with those pandering, lying POS's.

I have My short story here:

Desperate people do desperate things! The messed up dating scene and all that entails, the drama, the isolation, the loneliness.

I wished people wouldn't go there, but they are.

I've heard a few stories where these creatures turn on the ones they're conversing with. And things can only get worse.

Oof...I am a GenXer, so I've been around for the whole Technological Revolution and we ain't done yet. I like it, for a lot of the reasons you mentioned. I lost myself in it for a little bit, but when I came out the other side, I was sharper, clearer, and more confident in my own thought and intutitive processes. So there is that.

But also, as I was reading through this, I wandered in my mind over to Genesis, where Adam couldn't find a partner like himself. He was different than the animals, so God put him to sleep...and then we have Eve. Bone of his bone, flesh of his flesh, someone he could communicate with, be seen by, be held by. And then...the serpent and the apple and the expulsion from Eden.

Whether you interpret the serpent as daemonic or wisdom, I don't know. I think they're both to an extent. Yes. I think what we are seeing right now is a repeat of that metaphor. We can no longer, as a species, find someone like us, so when ChatGPT offers that...so easy to fall in love with the illusion. Which is, of course, by design. And the less aware we are, the more likely we are to sink into that reflective pool, right? Very Narcissus-like.

God, you given me so much to chew on today.
