>>81585550Are you referring to this sentence? " i cannot do so because the knowledge that i am talking to a program makes it feel artificial, which it objectively is. to me chatbots are nothing more than tools, they are not suitable for social/romantic settings. "
That's not articulating the foundation of your belief, it's expressing the surface level take of your thoughts. You think talking to a program makes things feel artificial. You (implied) think that conversations that are "artificial" or with a "tool" are of less value than conversations with a genuine person.
I understand that. I'm asking you to tell me WHY.
You can see that our values are different because you've said as much. WHY are your values different. WHAT FACTS are they based on? WHAT INFORMATION do you base your lower value assessment on "artificial" conversations over "genuine" ones.
But go to bed man, don't stay up for me. I'm not really trying to pick on you specifically I just hate when people don't have a good rational foundation for their beliefs.
