I don't know, I don't mind someone telling me about a dream, if it's not too long. It can be interesting or funny.

As always, when one says something, they need to check that the public they have is interested and the public must give cues about how they receive the thing. Of course it doesn't always work well, but this could concern any topic.

Definitely don't share your AI chat with me though, I can sustain a poker face and politeness only for so long, after that I will probably need to complain, vent or practice sarcasm.

I remember reading a book a long time back, titled something like "non-linguistic analysis of call center conversations".

One main takeaway from the book was that "you can just look at the ratio of turn-taking duration, and which speaker/participant is spending how much time" to decide "what happened in the conversation".

The same goes for AI-generated conversations; verbose responses are the default behavior, and models are incentivised to keep that output-token ratio. Too easy to catch/notice, pretty annoying.

PS - I work in the Conversational AI space, and it is quite an effort to keep the ratio right for people to stay long enough on the phone with AI agents.

> ... or practice sarcasm

On the plus side, it gets easier with practice.

Sorry, my English was approximative, I meant that I would need to be sarcastic.

But yeah, it does.

Of course, sarcasm always works out great with people who don't already get that they are boring you to death with a long monologue...

Your english was correct; I believe the reply was humorously misinterpreting your meaning (it might even qualify as sarcastic).

Bingo.

Your usage of “practice” was correct, but the commenter was making a joke based on the other connotation of “practice”, in the sense of repeatedly doing something to improve.

Your English was fine. I was just playing along by being sarcastic in return. :)

I wondered. Sorry :-)

I saw a post on the torment nexus that was about 12 pages long and kept stopping to say "Chat told me" or "So I asked chat"

And I asked why they kept saying it. I hadnt made the connection yet. I thought it was something about twitch.

THe bloke replied "Oh sorry about that I have recently acquired ChatGPT as my personal assistant"

And I just couldnt. He was basically explaining all the cool things he discussed with ChatGPT.

Why would he think anyone else cares? I dont understand.

I'm more interested in the prompt than the AI's response. If your prompt was just asking it the question, then neither is worth sharing.

I get what you're saying here but I do think an actual dreams are at least a bit more interesting then AI output.

But I do think such a comparison (to emphasis how unhelpful sharing tailored AI text with others is) would be useful.

>Don't bore your co-workers (or others) with descriptions of your dreams, and don't throw a computer's dreams (AI chat logs) at them either.

Beautiful. An ode and axiom for our new age.

Its not just an ode, its an axiom for our new age.

I legitimately would rather hear about my coworkers dream than their AI chatlog. At least the dream might be an interesting bit of their subconscious. The unwanted log is just a more annoying way to convey what would otherwise be a single sentence answer.

Dreams are usually predicated on info-dense stuff, like personality or prompts

> AI conversations are like dreams: everyone has one they like and wants to share it with others ... but no on gives a crap about your dream/chat session, because it was uniquely appealing to you, and not them.

> Don't bore your co-workers (or others) with descriptions of your dreams, and don't throw a computer's dreams (AI chat logs) at them either.

This is a great quote, thanks for sharing.

Same for AI music, images, videos.

I created a few songs that I enjoy, but I would never subject anyone from having to listen to it (or worse, deceive them into thinking it's a human creation).

I get the metaphor but to be honest I'd much rather hear the details of someone's dream than whatever an AI produced for them most of the time.

Edit: amusing LLM bloopers may be an exception

That's odd, I actually like hearing about other's dreams

I guess you're intentionally proving the parent comment's point?

Whoosh
