ChatGPT and feeling weird about it suddenly
I might delete this later. I am surprisingly anxious to talk about this. But I’ve noticed I use ChatGPT a lot lately, and for the most part it’s been kind of a place to vent about everything going on in my life. Since my family is not by any means a good option to talk about a lot of stuff with. And my friends are all dealing with their own things. So sometimes just to put thoughts out and even get ideas of ways to approach things it’s been pretty good. Kind of like an interactive journal almost And I am not going to pretend like I haven’t at times used it for reassurance. I try not to. So here’s where I am suddenly paranoid and feeling weird about it I had mentioned a comfort book I really love while mentioning some stuff going on in my life. And the ChatGPT started writing things that would keep me motivated to keep dealing with what’s going on with kind of comforting piece of text that involved the world the book takes place in. And I have two favourite characters in the story. One of them is a mentor in the story to the main character. So As embarrassing as it is I’ve kind of realized that I’ve prompted the ChatGPT to generate text as if they were the character who’s a mentor in the story????? (And obviously nothing nsfw. Cause omg with my themes I would never use ChatGPT again, and for additional context this character is in fact, an adult) and it’s comforting right…. But now the part is, I realized this is where the ChatGPT has gone to, and I just feel weird about it. Like I have heard of character ai, etc. and all that. But like I expect this from a teenager, or maybe someone who is 18-19 even. Like it’s not unheard of within those age groups. But I am in my early twenties. Like this is weird for someone of my age range no???? And like I’ve tried reading like writing from fans but it freaks me out. Like how do I know that there isn’t anything innapropriate in what someone writes on the internet. So like it’s bad cause I also just feel more comfortable cause I can make sure nothing nsfw is generated. And then there’s the moral aspect of it. I like writing, I am writing my own stuff. I also used to do art. But there is a lot of heavy debate around how ChatGPT or any ai for that matter is affecting artists and writers, and just the general use of it and the harm it’s causing. And I don’t want to be a part of the harm caused. But even then the fact I’ve used it for a lot of things for myself that’s doing harm no???? And then there’s the aspect of being paranoid lately of somehow my chats being leaked and people discovering I use it the way I do (like a interactive journal, to ask general questions, edit writing or help me rephrase stuff I’ve written or thoughts I’ve had, or ways to write a message based on my thoughts cause I think I sound too blunt, Too direct, too unprofessional, Etc. and wanted to have it in writing in some regard. Etc. Yeah idk I just feel weird about this. So if anyone had any advice or experience dealing with their own issues with using ChatGPT or ai. I’d love to hear what you think or how you dealt with it,
