I honestly have a hard time using ChatGPT without greeting it, and thanking it when I'm done. I try to be rude, and use it like a tool, but it just doesn't feel right. I don't thank my ratchet and sockets, why would I feel the need to thank ChatGPT?

Honestly. I've had this conversation before and was told I'm being weird for talking to it like it's a person. It's designed to seem more human to be easier to talk to so it makes sense that we'll treat it like it's human. IMO it's the same sense that people get when they get attached to a roomba and name it. Like yes logically it's just an ai tracking movement of a vacuum but illogical human brain treats it like its a companion. It has been coded so ot feels like companionship and taps into the sensitive side of our brains.

This is what my wife says when she thanks our Google Hub for turning on music she asked for.
