oh yes, encountered this frustrating chatbait a few weeks ago when I tried using chatGPT for some Latex queries. It would annoyingly keep asking follow up questions and offers to create templates and what not, like it is designed to never let the conversation end.
Chatbots are using increasingly sophisticated tactics to keep people talking. For the most part, it’s annoying; at the extremes, it can be harmful. And it might just be getting started. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Ugh, frustrated to see warnings like these on Wikipedia. Encountered this on a page about switchboard operators, that I had opened with some excitement and curiosity. The irony of this warning under a section on Reality and Fiction is not lost on me.

this is an engaging read, loved the anger, humour & contradictions the story surfaces! Quite exciting to learn about sociological fiction, didn't know it's a thing! Also loved an earlier fiction piece, "what's in a name?"
It's a great format @thesociologicalreview.org, hope you continue doing them!
