A few colleagues and I were sat at our desks the other day, and one of them asked the group, "if you were an animal, what animal would you be?"

I answered with my favourite animal, and we had a little discussion about it. My other colleague answered with two animals, and we tossed those answers back and forth, discussing them and making jokes. We asked the colleague who had asked the question what they thought they'd be, and we discussed their answer.

Regular, normal, light-hearted (time wasting lol) small talk at work between friendly coworkers.

We asked the fourth coworker. He said he'd ask ChatGPT.

It was a really weird moment. We all just kind of sat there. He said the animal it came back with, and that was that. Any further discussion was just "yeah that's what it said" and we all just sort of went back to our work.

That was weird, right? Using ChatGPT for what is clearly just a little bit of friendly small talk? There's no bad blood between any of us, we hang out a lot, but it just struck me as really weird and a little bit sad.

It isn't introvertion.

OP said 'what animal would you be if you were an animal?'

It is insulting to expect everybody to engage in conversation any time some moron expects it.

The respondent, reasonably said 'I'll ask chatgpt' which is a polite way of saying 'I'm not interested in this shite, Bore off, I'm not eight, leave me alone.'

OP then came online to make a big deal about it, claiming the respondent used chatgpt rather than socialising. Which itself is evidence of OP's character and evidence as to why one might not want to engage with the boring **** at work.

Wrong. The only thing there is evidence they did is use chatgpt to deflect a fucking boring conversation.

Now please leave me alone. This is all fucking obvious. I am just blocking any respondents to this message in order to avoid timewasting, thanks.

Edit - oh this is an anti-ai sub. OK, so anything done with ai is automatically bad, you have chosen a side and that is that.

:There is much to dislike about 'ai' technology - primarily its energy use, but the claims of intelligence is also something reasonable to dislike. There is much more to dislike about the people who own 'ai' and the uses they want to put it to, but that is neo-liberal capitalism you should be angry at, not 'ai'. This sub is misguided at best. Block it is.
