100% agree, its also disturbing that they want to make seem like a human.

I suspect most people would prefer it to behave like the computer in star trek. just be there, and be responsive in direct polite ways. dont try to be a friend, dont try to pretend its people. its not. its fucking code.

People here? Maybe. The rest of the world? I really don't think so! From what I've seen, people really don't like when these models behave robotically, they seem to want them to become indistinguishable from humans in their view, with the biggest difference being that the model should not disagree with them if they don't want it at that model. I've seen way too many people that explicitly want a "friend that never says no to me" type of thing from LLMs. That's far from everyone, but that's literally the second most wanted use case I've seen from random people I've met, with the first being "Google but easier".
