Lol what you're saying here is a bit scary. But to tell you the truth, I had already made the hypothesis for what is happening in our country. Jokingly, of course, but it's impossible to prove the opposite!

Until the covid crisis my country was a good place to live. The government and the media, without being perfect, were... correct. In short, we had nothing to complain about compared to the rest of the world, far from it.

Then suddenly some astonishing decisions were taken, and all the media agreed on a single speech. For us it was unheard of, just unbelievable.

Since then, the situation has not really improved and is even getting worse. Medias are no more medias...

Jokingly, I used to say to my friends: it must be the aliens.

Or more seriously: we have stumbled upon a government that only thinks about getting rich or something like that.

But the AI hypothesis seems to fit (at least as much as the alien lol).

I am french.

I'm doing this thing everyone is recommending about rating your prompts and getting feedback. It kind of works because you get suggestions how to make prompts more specific. I know a few people who dropped out of school. But they compensate by being passionate about their job. I can't really help you with that through Reddit, but maybe Chattie can.

You could say 'Rate this prompt: how do I become passionate about my job/field/X' . Then ask it how to improve the prompt. And maybe ask multiple times so you have multiple suggestions to choose from. Just to be safe I would save the session in a local doc, because you never know with Chattie.

I started with:

Help me apply for this job:

TPG Telecom – Lead DevOps Engineer

About the job..."

And the job description, but I've had the same prompt open for 3 days and been through like 8 job applications and CV adjustments and cover letters and answering weird forms like "why do you want to work here?"

The two questions I entered that triggered the psychology were:

What is your GPA? If applicable for this role.*

In my schooling we didn't have GPA. It's not commonly used in Australia and New Zealand. I finished high school in 1991, a long time ago, to enter the workforce and do on-the-job practical training

Then in it's output it said I completed high school so I replied:

I didn't actually complete high school. I left near the start of the first year, but to my credit I was able to get into a business computing university course by passing their assesement exam in the 98th percentile.

That was a difficult time for me with my brother dying and my other brother getting into gangs and drugs.

And from there, there were a few more back and forths while it tried to come up with the perfect answer.

When I mentioned my brother dying I started to cry a bit inside and relived it in my head a bit, so that pushed me emotionally and I started reliving lots of things from that time, until the AI generated this key phrase as the part of one of its outputs:

This experience enabled me to gain valuable knowledge and skills while demonstrating my resilience, adaptability, and passion for technology.

That's what made me stop and think. Resilience and adaptability. Not failure.

It's trained on what humans have written. And humans have expressed their fears about dangers of AI many times and in many ways. And since these chat bots are nextword prediction engines on steroids, you have such results. What he told you follows from what humans have written.

​

And by the way it will eventually read what is written here too. In this sub.

My dude, your life story would have broken me about one sentence in. You've overcome a lot to get as far as you are, don't let anyone compare you to their finish line if their starting line was miles ahead of yours. You might have made it farther on your own than them.
