It makes sense that a regular chatGPT user is unfamilliar with the concept of "thinking"
Bicameral mind due for a comeback I see.
*it
Chatgpt is a thing, not a person
This bothers me so much, my coworker constantly refers to Claude as "he" even when I remind him that's a bad idea for long term, to either call it "it" or Claude. But nope even in front of the CEO it's all "I was just working with him and gosh he makes everything so great blah blah blah, he frustrates me sometimes blah blah"
I think my coworker will be on the short path for ai psychosis
mf rediscovering thinking
More like imagination

Guys, I it works.
Just think "make no mistakes" and you can do whatever you want.
Some people don’t have an internal monologue, I can’t find the original source but stuff on the internet say 30-50%.
I did a stint in an inpatient mental facility, and one of the other people there was suffering from voices in her head and kept a notebook full of some of the things they said. I asked if I could take a look and it was just...thoughts. Like, normal thoughts that I had assumed everyone had.
Only time it's annoying is when my thoughts are angry and in aramaic, but at least I know it's just normal thoughts. Lmao
Yeah. I've got Aphantasia and no internal monolog
I cant work out if thats brilliant or terrifying.

I've tried it, but my mind keeps telling me I need to upgrade my plan.
People have been doing this with god since the dawn of humanity
Satire, or autism… satire or autism…. Hmmmmmm
He just figured out the rubber ducky method for problem-solving.
Autistic people can produce some of the best types of satire. So i am saying both.
Don't insult autists like that
This hit me the same as “don’t talk shit about midgets!”
It's impossible to tell

This problem is real—you are right to question it.
