ELIZA, the first chatbot created in the 60s just used to parrot your response back to you:

I'm feeling depressed

Why do you think you're feeling depressed

It was incredibly basic and the inventor Weizenbaum didn't think it was particularly interesting but got his secretary to try it and she became addicted. So much so that she asked him to leave the room while she "talked" to it.

She knew it was just repeating what she said back to her in the form of a question but she formed a genuine emotional bond with it.

Now that they're more sophisticated it really highlights how our idiot brains just want something to talk to whether we know it's real or not doesn't really matter.

Depends. I think I’m on the autistic spectrum, I just don’t see them as equal, but as tools.

I'm not in the autistic spectrum. They aren't equals and they are barely tools.

They are good tools for communicating with the robots in management. ChatGPT, please output some corpobullshit to answer this form I was given and have no respect for.

Barely tools eh? Takes one to know one I suppose

I don’t know what I am but I don’t feel shit for no fucking robot. That arm that squeegees hydraulic fluid back into itself, fuck em.
