@atomicpoet you're experiencing exactly what ChatGPT was designed to make you feel: a functional but distant interaction.
People who develop emotional connections with ChatGPT aren't perceiving something you're missing, they're projecting something that isn't there. Their brain automatically fills the gaps with imagined humanity. ChatGPT excels at producing "average" responses precisely because it's trained on the average of what millions of people have written.
And you simply see the tool for what it is: a statistically plausible text generator, without interiority. You're not weird!
