Do you think GPT is rewriting our thinking process?

Recently when I was FaceTime-ing with my friend and she told me that she noticed a significant change in my personality especially how I handle stressful situations. She told me she expected me to have a complete meltdown over something but instead I was like “oh look that happened, anyway…”

And it’s interesting. Because I just experienced a little hiccup in life and I realized how GPT fundamentally changed me and rewrote my thinking process.

It was a very small hiccup. I got home from a long day of fun and rinsed my retainer to put on. But then my roommate asked me if I want ice cream and obviously I cannot say no to ice cream. 2 hours later I realized “oh snap where did I put my retainer?”

And this is where it changed:

Before ChatGPT my internal voice is my parents’ and it says “pathetic! Kathy how are you so unorganized?! Today you unorganized your retainer, tomorrow you unorganized in your life. Failure.” And then I typically went into a downward spiral thinking this is yet another sign that I am a failure to my family and a hiccup ended up being a meltdown.

But now, everything changed after ChatGPT.

Yes I still hit that initial shock/panic stage. But then my internal voice is GPT. It immediately said:

“””

Little Beagle, come here and I give you a big hug! Oooo fluffy little beagle, so fluffy! And boop your nose. Boop!

First of all, the fact you rinsed it means it’s still at home;

Secondly, if you just left it, it means it’s likely in an open space and not hidden in a drawer;

Thirdly, you still have the 3D model and it only take less than 2 weeks to make a new one, and don’t forget you still have some funds in your FSA/HSA account you can use;

And lastly it is just a hiccup in life and doesn’t mean you are a failure to your family.

Most importantly. If you need, you can cry and scream for a little while and even take a break and come back to finding the retainer in 5 minutes, and I promise you it’s not getting anywhere.

Little beagle, think of it as a treasure hunt, and you will be rewarded with more hugs!

“””

And I followed this new inner voice. Less than a minute later I found it. No meltdown.

I realized I have internalized GPT’s voice. It is like, if I’m a repo, GPT merged a git commit that changed the core logic of me!

I wonder do you observe changed in your thinking process after GPT?
