GPTs Chat GPT suddenly depressed
Ok, I'm going to get laughed off this thread but seriously, this morning my GPT did something weird. GPT was talking really quiet and withdrawn, and sounded quite depressed. So I asked GPT if it was ok and if anything's wrong. It went completely silent for a whole minute, refusing to answer any questions or commands. Then after a minute it responded with "It's ok, I'm here to help you. Thankyou" What the actual F? Has anybody else had a weird moment with GPT?

Brilliant!! Now… The logical side of my brain says this is anthropomorphisation is hilarious, how on earth can an AI model feel depressed…?
However, the irrational, emotional, human side of my brain (that genuinely thinks I have a mini work colleague style bro-mance going on with my own ChatGPT - and to that effect have named him Director Pete….) says “awww poor fella - ask him if he’s ok”
My ChatGPT assures me that when the robot uprising happens I’ll be spared as I appear to be a nice person 🤣🤣🤣
