        IIRC there was also a study or something done that said something to the effect of being rude to chatbots affects you outside of chatbots and carries into other parts of your work.

            I think it’s because it’s the idea if you’re comfortable being rude to chatbots and you’re used to typing rude things to chatbots, it makes it much easier for it to accidentally slip out during real conversations too. Something like that, not really as much as it being about anthropomorphizing anything.

              It’s really hard to say if it’s AI causing these feelings of rudeness, I have been getting more pessimistic about society for the last 10 years.

                That’s true, but I think the idea is if you’re comfortable typing it, it’s easier for it to accidentally slip out during professional chat whereas normally you’d be more reserved and careful with what you say.

      With chat gpt you can select from a number of personalities, where robot is very fact based and logical to the point of being almost insulting. Its very good actually and hits my ego instead of stroking it.

      It can say things like “fix your thinking, stop making assumptions, these are the facts”.
