> Sorry, I forgot you did not specify. [...] I'm sorry for assuming.

No it is not sorry, and no it did not forget.

Why should I believe the computer forgot that I did (or didn't) tell it how to refer to me? It's a machine--why should it ever forget anything? What good to me is a machine I have to remind what I told it? And if I did not ever specify how to refer to me, yet it's claiming it forgot, then it's lying. What good to me is a machine that lies to me?

It doesn't understand what being "sorry" even means--it just said that because the model/context indicated it should say that. It cannot be sorry in any useful sense of the word because it cannot feel remorse or regret or guilt or shame or anything. The machine telling me it is "sorry" means nothing and doesn't indicate it has any great insight (indeed, it has no insight at all) into human feelings.

When adult humans do that, we call them assholes, or sociopaths.

The AI doesn't "feel" anything. It is simply attempting to predict the most human-like word next in a sequence of words, based off of training on millions of lines of human dialogue.

They could train the model against all of the millions of comments on hacker news, for example, and it would eventually respond to things in a way that was virtually indiscernible from the average user here.

If it says it "forgot" something, it has no actual memory. That is merely a conversational pattern/response that it picked up from common conversations it has been trained on.

Indeed, and it shows that this AI is simply regurgitating whatever woke dataset it was trained on.

I am sorry you feel that way about AI.
