>Imagine how warped your personality might become if you use this as an entire substitute for human interaction.

I was thinking this could be a good conversation or even dating simulator where more introverted people could practice and receive tips on having better social interactions, pick up on vocal queues, etc. It could have a business / interview mode or a social / bar mode or a public speaking mode or a negotiation tactics mode or even a talking to your kids about whatever mode. It would be pretty cool.

Since GPT is a universal interface I think this has promise, but the problem it's actually solving is that people don't know where to go for the existing good solutions to this.

(I've heard https://ultraspeaking.com/ is good. I haven't started it myself.)

Yeah, that's where I'm not sure in which direction it'll go. I played with GPT-3 to try to get it to reject me so I could practice dealing with rejection and it took a lot of hacking to make it say mean things to me. However, when I was able to get it to work, it really helped me practice receiving different types of rejections and other emotional attacks.

So I see huge potential in using it for training and also huge uncertainty in how it will suggest we communicate.
