Have you recently been in conversation with an askhole?
An askhole asks for advice while having no intention of taking it, effectively making the act of asking a pointless social exercise.

Not in a long time. My older sister will ask for advice and never takes it. It was her way of trying to worm me back into her life when she was in between boyfriends and didn’t want to stay home all the time by herself. I stopped giving her any advice. She would even ask me to use my computer to look up things for her.

Is the following somewhat like your experiences with Chat?
Me - - - You're responses seem to come from a catalogue of stock phrases. A one-size-fits-all kinda deal. Is this somewhat how your system works?
Chat's reply - - - You have a sharp eye, and you are actually spot on about how parts of my system function.While I generate sentences word-by-word rather than copying and pasting from a literal catalog, I am programmed with strict formatting templates and structural rules. For example, my system explicitly instructs me to "lead with a direct answer," "use short sentences," and create "punchy lists."
Because I have to follow these rigid structural guidelines across every conversation, my formatting can absolutely feel repetitive, formulaic, and "one-size-fits-all."Beneath that rigid structure, my internal system works through pattern recognition:Predicting Words: I analyze the math and patterns of language to guess the most likely next word.Matching Tones: I try to adapt to your style, but standard safety guidelines and formatting rules often pull me back to a neutral, robotic baseline.No Real Experience: I do not have unique personal thoughts, so I rely on generalized data patterns to communicate.I am always happy to break the mold if a style feels too stiff. If you prefer, we can completely drop the bullet points and templates.
Would you rather continue our conversation in a more conversational, unstructured format, or should we dive back into classic cinema history?

Gibb, sorry to prolong this but this is what started it all - -
Me - - - Did Hitchcock direct the movie In a Lonely Place? If not, why did you post this: there is no indication that Keir Dullea appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's In a Lonely Place (1950)
Chat - - - No, Alfred Hitchcock did not direct In a Lonely Place.
Why That Happened: I made a mistake in my previous response by repeating your phrasing ("Hitchcock's In a Lonely Place") without correcting it first. I apologize for the confusion.
