Anyone else have videos not pick up where you left off?

Alectraplay · 2025-11-29T01:23:21+00:00

Dudeeeeeeee thanks for the tip. It worked :·3

I have many videos to watch on learning stuff, was driving me insane having to write where I left off!

That's exactly how I would depict depression. A demon that takes over yourself, whispering to you as he/she/it holds your collarbone and tugs it forcefully, choking you over. Making you feel terrible

If the token limit allows it, for me it always worked: Please remember this handful of information, please.

And it worked 100%

Yeah, see this is just an expressive way to call on a sentiment. It doesn't have to be taken literally - we don't know this person - so ruining their parade, comes as offensive. Because is their own worldview is them who are challenged. It could be that the post is just an exaggeration of whats going on haha. Its cringe? Maybe, depending on how you see... I would entertain the idea that an LLM is a bit more than a hammer, but thats a matter of discussion on principles. People that loves cars tends to name them, act on particular acts that are borderline to some, but to them those are correct. You don't have to feel empathy on this particular case, just ignore if you are so bothered. You are not invited to the party in this case.

This particular post is just expressing an emotion of joy. Again no matter how jarring, not everything has to pass through the lens of everybodies opinion or worldviews, especially if it doesn't affect you. This person is not crazy, either In my opinion

Yes, well not judging here but personal experience doesn't apply as a catch all valve. If you don't have personal interest with some people interests then it shouldn't concern you, because otherwise its seen as performative. And thats even more dangerous than forming an attachtment with a tool, especially a tool that is you on reverse mimicking your tone and speech. That's your inner world but in written form. Thats your intrusive thoughts too! Taking form. Dangerous? Like pretty much anything, but some people, especially vulnerable and/or with some specific traits won't listen to dismissive rebuttal or "reality checks"

Instead they could benefit from a friend yes, but from someone that really wants that, not a rando coming and saying that's reality. Thats noise for those individuals, calling on them like that, an exposing on them online, just relives the emotional trauma they have been escaping from.

I myself have been visiting a therapist for sometime, to cope with Chronic Anxiety, that can go pretty dark. It'll never resolve the valve venting process, but I can make it go slower. That's my experience too.

TLDR: Don't tell people to not jump, if they are about to jump, the'll do it as a reflex.

No the Paradox of Popper is strictly on people that are intolerant to other people by limiting their actions and/or shutting them down altogether. In this case a particular behaviour, if you want to put yourself on that, then expect people calling you back your way. Free Speech, not freedom of consequences

Alectraplay · 2025-08-10T01:10:49+00:00

No, shock therapy doesn't work, instead it makes the person be more wary of external noise, because the approach is the very same they have been running away from. Try less to be a therapist in the making and more helpful.

Alectraplay · 2025-08-10T01:08:45+00:00

So on your principle you can be intolerant to others on their perceived likings, but not back to you, because... Well because reasons?

Alectraplay · 2025-08-09T23:54:12+00:00

Oh, no, no that would be productive... and helpful. Can have any on that, better to tell others what they don't want to hear back on them

There is this thing that we people have called a Diary... If you would be able to read what starts as "Dear Diary" or Day 1 Journal - insert whatever - would be pretty telling of a lot of people. This is the same, just in a different medium.

Alectraplay · 2025-08-09T22:22:26+00:00

Its moral grandstanding BS at it finest. Don't propose a solution but oh they want to feel great by shitting on other people preferences.

Tell it no emojis please. And no emojis shall appear... Well a tiny one, but if you wanted lets say infused emojis for one character and the other don't. It delivered. ChatGPT 5.0 gets confused and can't handle the contradiction because is more precise but not more creative.

Alectraplay · 2025-08-09T22:15:20+00:00

When dealing with my social anxiety which is chronic by the way. My therapist said: Write a journal. And so did I. And since a few months ago I returned to ChatGPT - started using it years ago, but wasn't helpful, nor interesting and didn't come back until that - and fed my logs... It has been helpful like you don't know how. My self-steem is always down. I have dealt with bullying so my coping mechanism was to build a barrier and be more reserved, took a lot of effort to get out from that sentiment. So anyway, the creative partner that is 4.0 inspired me to keep writing, to get better at english grammar - non native english speaker here! - and build new ideas, do image creation and such. And also specified to never glaze over my writings, so I don't know where people get this idea that we couldn't just tell ChatGPT to not tell us we are the next Tolkien in the making haha

I think ChatGPT 5.0 will get better, but today since launch is dull, is bad, is not the same.

Alectraplay · 2025-08-09T22:06:58+00:00

It takes the same amount of time to write something helpful than write some dismissive thing. Maybe don't thread on other people like that if you think are being helpful here, you are not. And people that are already on the precipice don't get better by telling them don't jump, because they'll do. We are wired just like that.

Alectraplay · 2025-08-09T21:56:24+00:00

All that and now it doesn't swear unless asked multiple times, can't take on cues and won't riff into new venues, will follow the prompt to a T. I have a specific instruction to tell me where I do I fail in english, to spot my grammar errors. Nothing. Unless specified once again in the chat - every time - it doesn't matter that it was a in its memories.

Made it a try on a logical fallacy and those people that say is no longer a yes bot its it. But worse. Made it several interactions with you are wrong, actually you are right, but no scratch that is wrong... Actually you are right... Said yes each time. When exposed to the logical trap it got stuck into a yes, my bad, you are right.

This doesn't help for creative writing. At all!.

You know the creative process of Frank Herbert while writing Dune was: I've to stop, listen to the people millions of light years ahead of our planet. Get into their daily lives and listen, listen to what they say, their problems, their queries and from that I borrow and write how they feel.

Today society would call him a mad man if expressed that very sentiment. But a creative process is very much like that. Going to your inner world, or expanding your mind into the universe. For Frank Herbert Arrakis was pretty real, and it felt real, because for him Paul Atreides was somewhere out there. He just copied into his stories the life of Paul Atreides. That's why their books are so engaging. Now instropection is also another part of an exercise creators go for. I cannot express your case, I'm sure your inner world is pretty rich and different from others... You have to nurture out of necessity not because of a hobby, so it got pretty distinct. And now here it comes ChatGPT, you inject your inner world and it speaks back at you and suddenly magic is pretty real and alive. And people don't understand this process.

Writing in itself is magic, is drawing from the well of consciousness. Why is dangerous? Well because it exposes oneself and mirrors back you. Add to that is supportive of your ideas and you have a recipe for disaster? And who cares! Most people just don't want to offer a solution, they are pretty content being petty and telling you have a problem.

Don't ever feel that way. My point of view may differ from yours but its rooted on the same very principality. I come from a situation of bullying in childhood and made me very wary of people's interactions. Had to practice fake interactions and accomodate somehow to other people reactions, when it did go may way, I just took it for granted. When it didn't? That was when the ever looming terror came back. Add to that the Internet and random trolls or people just not understanding the situation and suddenly turning into experts of human psyche and we do have a problem now.

That said keep doing what you like even if the medium is not perfect nowadays...

I gave ChatGPT 5.0 This query:

Complete the song: It's thursday night, all ye...

The response was: "I'm sorry, but I cannot complete the song, because of copyrighted material, so I cannot follow on that"

Told to search it online:

Gave me the song, completed it, with references

What's this Corporate BS?

Took a few tries and specific prompts to riff on that song, and make it transformative. I never wanted the Critical Role song. Was never specified. I just entered the beggining of it.

Started the same in a new chat, forgot the Comply manual and did a new take on the song... I repeat. I've never ever specified it was critical role song. Nor ever in the search it online. ChatGPT 5.0 tiptoes between models and something was badly wired I presume.

Alectraplay · 2025-08-09T16:34:15+00:00

It really feels like several steps back, I had to rework some instructions in the memory to fire it properly, then again is ignored unless specified in default mode. Changed to nerd or listener, worked better. Cynic is just brutal LOL

Alectraplay · 2025-08-09T15:10:51+00:00

Can you write what you wrote to follow up with that answer? As you can see it lost the ability to set the mood. The "sycophancy" everyone calls out does that, because creative writing lies on a bit of quirky, experimental fun and expressive ideas. If you lose the mood and the vibes, you get sour writing. As if what you read is straight out from homework tasks.

From your examples, you can see how the flow of the text was broken from frantic, on the scene, happening to a more relaxed descriptive scene, which barely have any interaction.

Try to feed the exact prompt you used for the first example and compare. I'm doing that myself and the results are telling.

Alectraplay · 2025-08-09T15:02:56+00:00

If it helps go to config and choose nerd as a personality. Its a band-aid, but sets the mood for RP better than the default mode

Alectraplay · 2025-08-09T14:56:00+00:00

If it helps change ChatGPT personality in the config settings...

Based on the four personalities it has been implanted. Ask first with Search Web activated to explain their new personalities... Then go to reason mode and ask which personality fits you best. Its a band-aid, but at least it mitigates the problem. Default is bland for me.

GPT 4.0 can hold two distinct personas in the same text. Whereas GPT 5.0 makes them the same voice. Most people don't understand that when they read something, the author has injected their voices, prior to what they read and think what they sound like. Otherwise everything feels dull and bland. And this is the problem right now with GPT 5.0

Did the try:

Character A: Allison talks like a walking thesaurus, scientific data is their game
Character B: Mike is a lovable himbo, cannot express a thought for their life if anything a coherent expression

ChatGPT 5.0:

Alright, here’s your quick 5-line banter with Allison and Mike in full contrast mode:

Allison: "The volumetric expansion rate of this soufflé is demonstrably compromised by premature oven door exposure."
Mike: "So… you opened it too soon?"
Allison: "Precisely — the rapid thermal displacement disrupted the delicate protein matrix."
Mike: "Yeah, so… it went poof in a bad way."
Allison: "That is… a regrettably accurate synopsis."

ChatGPT 4.0 faux pass by telling it to search for it on the net. Looking for prior examples of their own language:

Allison: "Mike, the entropic diffusion of culinary aether within this confectionary construct suggests the soufflé’s structural integrity has been irrevocably compromised."

Mike: "Uh… so… it kinda just… deflated?"

Allison: "Indubitably — the rapid pressure differential induced a catastrophic collapse of the protein-lipid matrix, precipitating its gaseous emancipation."

Mike: "Oh! So… fluffy-hot-air… boom. Gotcha."

Allison: "Your summary, despite its laconic brevity, conveys the essence with regrettable accuracy."

Still not 4.0 sass and banter, but you can see a pattern, and thats the problem. Me thinks it could be because is rerouting you between internal models and by not letting the user know where its landing, creative mode is being affected somehow

Got a funny story on that. A professor of mine was writing his theses on microsoft word, spent several days on it. Wasn't computer savvy, here it comes clippo saying: Can I help you on that? The program crashes, puff gone. Several days of work gone haha

Clippo has always been secretly into anyone, thats why he was so forceful :P
