Update: 'Is he using ChatGPT to talk to me?': 27-year-old man gets called out for using AI to talk to 34-year-old date

This person was called out for using ChatGPT to write his end of the conversation with a prospective date! 

As if our lives weren't dystopian enough, the creep of generative AI into daily life is certainly noticeable. It's hard to avoid, and at this point, a lot of people can tell when someone is writing to them using ChatGPT due to its "tells." For example, ChatGPT is quite sycophantic, and it loves to hype up its users, saying things like, "That's a really insightful question" or "You're not imagining that — you're tapping into something real." It has this one conversational quirk that's already been widely mocked, where it says, "It's not just X — it's Y." Not to mention that as a large language model, ChatGPT is verbose, writing paragraphs upon paragraphs where just a few sentences would suffice. 

I find the sycophantic way that these chatbots talk to be really irritating — the sickly sweet way they heap praise upon their user is a transparent attempt to keep the user from closing out the chat. But a lot of people don't mind that at all. In fact, some people even fall in love with AI bots themselves! But for most people, using ChatGPT is just an easy way to get out of writing something they don't feel like typing out themselves. 

Let's check out one fascinating case right here: this dude keeps asking ChatGPT to respond to a potential date. That's crazy for a lot of reasons, but it certainly implies that he's not looking for a soul mate, because why else would he farm out his own voice to a bot if he's searching for true love? That's the kind of thing you do if you're searching for a quick fling. Maybe he's just self-conscious about his communication style… but I've never met anyone who really cares about typos in text messages that much. As long as your texts are mostly legible, who cares if you forget some punctuation or spell things wrong? 

It's a really baffling choice, and as you can see below, when called out, the "vibes" of the conversation really shift. I hope this woman doesn't continue to give this dude the time of day, since clearly, he can't even be bothered to actually talk to her.
