How often do you use "AI" to reply to your messages, if at all?

pufferfischerpulver@feddit.de to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 86 points –

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.

I'd be pretty mad if I knew someone was sending personal texts/emails to openai

I wouldn't if they were stripping it of personal information. I lack imagination for what they could possibly do to harm anyone by having somewhat of an insight into mundane and trivial everyday problems.

Um, don't you know this is Lemmy? You're supposed to be insanely protective over all aspects of your privacy. If I found out that someone copy/ pasted a tidbit of a conversation I was in after stripping all personal info from it into an LLM, I'd change my name, forge my birth certificate to alter my DOB, move states (twice), get a new phone number and shoot that person in the face. It's the only way to keep the government or corpos from spying on my very secret very important conversations.
