Comment on Enshittification of ChatGPT
esaru@beehaw.org 4 weeks agoIt is enshittification in a way, from my point of view: OpenAI aims to let users feel better, catering the user’s ego, on the costs of reducing the usefulness of the service, rather than getting the message across directly.

Making users feel better is one of the usefulnesses of this technology. Factuality and scientific rigor are not something text generators are capable of due to the nature of the technology itself.
I would instead argue that being overly agreeable and not challenging the user may conflict with making the user feel better long-term.
