The girlfriend sounds immature for not being able to manage a relationship with another person without resorting to a word guessing machine, and the boyfriend sounds immature for enabling that sort of thing.

"I use ChatGPT for" <- at this point I've already tuned out, the person speaking this is unworthy of attention

“…for trying to understand sarcasm as an autistic person”

“…for translation until I find DeepL“

“…short circuiting negative thought loops”

(JK, probably to do a bad job at something stupid)

my wife likes to jump from one to another when I try and delve into any particular aspect of an argument. I guess what im saying is arguments are going to always suck and not necessarily be rationale. chatgpt does not remember every small detail as she is the one inputting the detail.

Ok, is this a thing now? I don’t think I’d want to be in what is essentially a relationship with chat GPT…

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes... I know some people who rely exclusively on Chatgpt to meditate their arguments. Their reasoning is that it allows them to frame their thoughts and opinions in a non-accusatory way.

My opinion is that chatgpt is a sycophant that just tries to agree with everything you say. Garbage in, garbage out. I suppose if the argument is primarily emotionally driven, with minimal substance, then having Chatgpt be the mediator might be helpful.

Well, it literally is a yes man, it guesses what words are the most appropriate response to the words you said.

No… everything on AITA has always been fake bullshit

How would it be any different if she had been using Google? Just like...vibes?

On the one hand, better chatGPT than the guy she's cheating with, on the other hand, if you can tell how inappropriate that is and she can not, maybe you are not meant for each others?

Run Forrest, run!!

This sounds fun. Going to try it during my next argument but first I have to setup a speech to text so that AI is actively listening and then have it parse and respond in realtime to the conversation. Let AI take over the argument while I go have a cappuccino.

Easy, just fine-tune your favorite llm to say you're always right 😹

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (13 children)

Ignoring that this is probably bullshit, I think the bigger problem is that you've had multiple bigger and even more smaller arguments in only 8 months. Just break up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Some people's relationships are literally built around arguments and competition and they last decades.

Not every relationship has to fit into your mold.

Idk if you saw my expansion in my comment to chicken in a different subthread.

If you have and this is still your answer, then whatever that'll be your opinion and I'll have mine. Some people smoke multiple packs a day and live to 80 but that doesn't make smoking a healthy thing to do either.
