Personally, I want a punching bag. It's not because I'm some kind of sociopath or need to work off some aggression. It's just that I need to work the upper body muscles in a punching manner. Sometimes the leg muscles need to move, and sometimes it's the upper body muscles.

ChatGPT is the best social punching bag. I don't want to attack people on social media. I don't want to watch drama, violent games, or anything like that. I think punching bag is a good analogy.

My family members do it all the time with AI. "That's not how you pronounce protein!" "YOUR BALD. BALD. BALDY BALL HEAD."

Like a punching bag, sometimes you need to adjust the response. You wouldn't punch a wall. Does it deflect, does it mirror, is it sycophantic? The conversational updates are new toys.
