Easy, just fine-tune your favorite llm to say you're always right ๐Ÿ˜น

What could possibly go wrong.

For real though this is a pretty good way to cope with communication breakdown. Idk why the poster of this comment doesn't try using chatGPT therapy as well.

I think she's using it less as therapy and more as a way to win arguments is the problem

I'm thinking the poster could easily use chatGPT the same way as his opponent, there is no advantage to one side or the other here.

The main value in introducing a third party (which in this case is software) is to take ego out of an argument and start arguing against a problem rather than a person. This is why I referred to it as therapy. chatGPT is an echo chamber of human writing with a few guardrails, much like speaking with an impartial therapist.

If your partner is an "opponent" in an argument, then you've lost the plot of your relationship. It's you and your partner against the issue, not against each other.

Not if he's vegan. Vegans can't use ChatGPT.

Something that gets ignored in these comments is that not everyone is as comfortable in a verbal communication altercation. My partner prefers that I write down my thoughts and give her some time to digest and formulate responses. Using ChatGPT to do this a bit on the fly might speed up our communication. This is of course assuming that everyone is doing this with honest intentions, not just using LLMs as a weapon.

I love the idea your wife has about writing arguments down! Feels like it would help give structure too, so many arguments I have meander from disagreeing about detail to detail.

Good point, there's no point in communication with someone acting in bad faith.
