Comment I talk to ChatGPT and Bard for hours - not lonely. (Score 3, Insightful) 72
I've spoken at length with ChatGPT about Quantum Mechanics, the nature of Electricity, all kinds of things. I've used both ChatGPT and Bard to help me solve configuration problems with Linux and Windows. In many ways they are just like a person there helping me. They do make mistakes, but both are open to suggestion that they made a mistake and they re-figure the problem and try different options. I've seen a lot of people say, "they get things wrong, and act dismissive towards these first ever competent chat bots. I feel that I have already gotten several college classes worth of knowledge I'm interested in, and many hours worth of advice on problems with my several computers at home. Talking with ChatGPT and Bard is ... FAR better than attempting to cruise forums and find information. I get so tired in forums trying to sift through people's poor writing, and their common attempts to out clever each other. I ask a question of the bots and they do their best, by default, to answer questions, with no human ego BS. That is priceless.
