  • When you ask your friend to say something embarrassing about you in front of others they know how to say a thing that is embarrassing but makes you relatable.
    • The classic trope of The Best Man speech.
    • Someone I know was trying out the memory feature in ChatGPT with his coworkers and asked "tell me something embarrassing about myself."
    • A real friend before saying something truly embarrassing should be answered with "OK, are you alone? Who can see your screen?"
    • But ChatGPT doesn't understand social context.
    • So it answered, drawing on its memories of that person, "You're insecure about the strength of your erections."
      • I swear I'm not making this up!
    • It's like a high-risk version of passing your phone to someone and saying "look at my feed / instagram explore page."
