Ran into this, it's just unbelievably sad.
"I never properly grieved until this point" - yeah buddy, it seems like you never started. Everybody grieves in their own way, but this doesn't seem healthy.
Wasn't there a black mirror episode on this?

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Looks like OpenAI crawled this blog: https://medium.com/@saujanyapdl22/what-my-heart-h-d3c9845badfb among the myriad other things. I wonder if the author approves.
...that's a lot of em dashes. I don't know if the similar language is because this influenced ChatGPT.
Edit:
Indeed, I found what I believe to be her LinkedIn. She's a self proclaimed "tech explorer" going to school for "Computer Applications in an Information Technology Course." Unlike what is written in her article, her bio has multiple typos and not a single em dash. Perhaps this LinkedIn profile is someone else's, but if it's hers I'd assume this is definitely AI written. Additionally, even her Medium about me bio has some issues that do not occur within her writing elsewhere.
Sad as hell, if true. I'd rather see a poorly written, typo laden mess from the heart of a human being filled with emotion than edited AI slop.
you can just fire up another 5-6 gfs/bfs with chatgtp.
Six years ago was expecting this to be a mere novelty. Now it's a fucking threat.
Check out Äkta människor / Real Humans.
A Swedish masterpiece IMO.
This reminds me of a Joey Comeau story I saw published fifteen or twenty years ago. The narrator's wife had died, so he programed a computer to read her old journal entries aloud in her voice, at random throughout the day.
It was profoundly depressing and meant to be fiction, but I guess every day we're making manifest the worst parts of our collective imagination.
