    Yeah, it has always seemed creepy to me how positive it is about anything you ask it.

    I hardly ever use it, and when I do I imagine I am talking to a beautiful saleswoman with a large name tag with the logo of the company.

    The AI may be pretty, but it always represents someone else’s interests

      Use it enough and you’ll see it’s not like that. There’s plenty it will push back on. Depending on the ai… you can see the narrative they are pushing through what it pushes back on.

      There are some topics it absolutely denies.
