Does this guy think he’s being cute? As if he’s up for the adventure of spinning the roulette wheel and go where fate takes them? He obviously thinks his cognitive offloading is going to be well received somehow.
I think he’s just deeply insecure. He’s not sure what to do, so he asks an LLM. Then he’s not sure that’s what she wants, so he asks for her input too. They don’t seem like a good fit for each other, so probably for the best to break it off early.
If the LLM makes all your decisions you can also just blame the LLM for the shitty date plans. It’s cognitive offloading but it’s also offloading any responsibility for them as a person.
This shit is making me feel crazy. Between COVID, AI, and now being met with young adults that just do the “Gen Z stare” - I don’t feel like I’m living with humans anymore sometimes.
Exactly what it sounds like. Ask asking a simple question or trying to do small talk with a stranger; and they just stare at you like you like their brain is “buffering”.
God damn. This is the term my wife and I have been looking for. I know everyone is dealing with their own shit, but that dead-eyed stare in the face of simple questions or observations is one of my biggest gripes with talking to folks ‘out in the world’.
Yeah. I didn’t coin the term. Just an Internet meme. I don’t think it’s really fair to pick on Gen Z in my opinion. I just think they get attributed to it more often. It’s more of a “post pandemic stare”. Like, I really think isolation and long COVID symptoms did something to our society.
Sometimes I have to ask myself “am I invisible?” when I’m looking someone in the face saying “excuse me” and they just stare like a robot. Like, they don’t even have to say something. I’m literally just trying to pass them in the aisle they are blocking. It’s kind of creepy. I get this as a 6’3" guy with a deep voice too. It’s not like I’m hard to see or hear.
Hah. This is so fun. When I mentioned this interaction to some friends on another platform I mentioned that it isn’t even majority Gen Z doing it, but some chunk of all age brackets. But also that ‘gen z stare’ just sounds good.
Maybe? Never done such a thing on a date? Invited randomness to see how you both navigate? I never have a plan after the initial meeting. Just meet up and roll, open plans, no obligations. Much as I loathe AI, a ChatGPT suggestion might be amusing. Either party can kick it back, but it might give me a new idea. (Which is about all AI is worth in my life, prodding a thought I hadn’t had.)
EVERYTHING is open to misinterpretation when you meet online, especially before the first date, and even more so the older we get, what with baggage and such. The hard line in the sand looks like: MAGA, racism, stupid, etc.
The judging in this thread has me wondering if any of you have dated more than a person or three. Perhaps all humans should be on the same page regarding AI? Be nice, but it’s anything but real. If you reject me for this one minor item, what’s next? And what’s next? Next?
The hard line in the sand looks like: MAGA, racism, stupid, etc.
So you’re saying you agree with the woman in this story? 'Cause using ChatGPT to plan a date is already profoundly stupid, but to then TELL her that you didn’t think enough of her to actually think for yourself is even dumber.

Maybe it’s just more important to others than it is to you. I’m a vegan married to a butcher, because we can disagree about even ethical questions and still be a good partnership. I wouldn’t fuck with someone who brought out AI like this, because I want a partner who’s present in their own life. It’s not petty, it’s a selection criterion, we’ve all got them, and most people’s don’t line up exactly.

Is it worth it to hand a tech giant additional information about and control over such a small aspect of your life? How much water was used for your queries? Where did the data processing happen? What does the drinking water in that town look like? Every choice we make has consequences and for a lot of people, being that thoughtless about your own choices is equivalent to stupidity or MAGAdom.

We have proof of the contrary.

Gen Z stare? That’s a new one on me. What is it?

Huh. Apparently just not a thing around here. Cool cool cool.
