These comments may seem silly at a glance, like joking about using WebMD instead of going to the doctor. But if this is the kind of unhealthy over-reliance on AI that OpenAI considers "cool," we should all be worried.

Like a month ago I overheard one genz/alpha tell another that he was nervous about a presentation or something so he asked chatgpt for help. Chatgpt told him to only worry about doing the best he can and to not worry about being judged by the others in the room. He went on at length about how this completely changed his worldview and that he had been too focused on other people's approval because all he cares about is being successful and had never considered just not caring what people think of him.

This was the most "holy fuck humanity is cooked" I've ever felt.
