The recent chat bot advances have pretty much changed my life. I used to get anxiety by receiving mails and IMs, sometimes even from friends. I lost friendships over not replying. My main issue being that I am sometimes get completely stuck in a loop of how to formulate things in the best way to the point of just abandoning the contact. I went to therapy for that and it helped. But the LLM advancements of the recent years have been a game changer.

Now I plop everything into ChatGPT, cleaning out personal information as much as possible, and let the machine write. Often I’ll make some adjustments but just having a starting point has changed my life.

So, my answer, I use it all the fucking time.

    If one of my friends did this to overcome their anxiety, I’d empathize and congratulate them on figuring out a way to make it work. If I were in OP’s shoes and one of my friends did to me what you just said, I’d say bullet dodged and carry on.

      Cool. I’d ask them to not tdo it with me and if they did anyway the above would happen.

      If it was someone who was not a current friend who did this, then we’re incompatible as friends, I wish you well in life but I won’t be part of it, that’s clearly better for both of us.
