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.

No. I have the same problem you do, which is harming my friendships and networking.

But I definitely am not going to reach for the solution you did. Because if anyone notices, it will effectively nuke that relationship from orbit.

Putting myself in the position of a friend who realized that you were using gpt or something to form thoughts...

I'd be impressed that you found that solution, and then I'd want to check be sure that the things you said were true.

Like, if I found out that 90% of your life as I knew it was just mistakes then computer made that you didn't bother to edit, I'd be bummed and betrayed, and it would turn out how you said.

On the other hand, if everything you sent is true to life and you formed the computer's responses into your personality, I'd be very much impressed that you used this novel tool to keep in contact and overcome the frozen state that had kept you from responding before.

@Usernameblankface that's a kind and generous interpretation, and I hope it's the one OP's friends will come to.

I suspect it's likely to be seen as an outsourcing of the friendship, though.
