Welcome to the trough of disillusionment!

One anecdote. I was worried about a recent friend of mine (non-technical solo traveler) becoming besties with ChatGPT and overly trusting and depending on it for basically everything.

Last time we met they had cancelled their subscription and cut down on the daily chats because they started feeling drained by the constant calls for engagement and follow-up questions, together with "she lost EQ after an update".

Can you explain what this means?

Your friend felt drained because chat gpt was asking for her engagement?

Not OP, but:

4o, the model most non-tech people use (that I wish they would depreciate) is very...chatty, it will actively try to engage you, and give you "useful things" you think you need, and take you down huge long rabbit holes. On the second point, it used to be very "high EQ" to people (sycophantic). Once they rolled back the sycophancy thing, even a couple of my non-technical friends msg'd me asking what happened to ChatGPT. I know one person who we've currently lost to 4o, it's got them talked into a very strange place friends can't reason them out of, and one friend who has recently "come back from it" so to speak.

ChatGPT got on their nerves for nagging and baiting for more engagement.

Basically yeah (except the "she" in my comment is referring to ChatGPT).

I'm fairly bored with AI now.

I genuinely wonder where the next innovative leap in AI will come from and what it will look like. Inference speed? Sharper reasoning?
