We really don't know how we use AI

from Behind the digital curtain Hosted by Sergio Sanchez

It's 2:47 in the morning. Amber has the phone screen ten inches from her face, blanket up to her chin, and she's typing her seventeenth message of the night. It's not to her ex. It's not to her mom. It's not even to her college roommate, the one who still texts memes at 3 AM. She's typing to ChatGPT. And she is not asking it how to build a pivot table. She's asking it whether her mother in law actually hates her, or is just really good at pretending. And here's what neither OpenAI nor Anthropic puts on the cover of their annual report. According to a study that dropped literally yesterday, only thirty percent of conversations with these chatbots have anything to do with work. The other seventy percent is Amber, at 2:47 AM. We are all Amber. I am Amber. You, listening to this on your commute right now, are very probably also Amber. Welcome to Behind the igital Curtain, the podcast where we strip technology down, metaphorically, settle down, to see what it's actually made of. I'm Dr. Sergio Sanchez, medical dr by training, Master in computer science for hobby and wannabe comedian by calling, your resident Dr. Qubit.
