Used ChatGPT to write articles and make up fictional people and memories. Had an article titled "People who are truly happy usually exhibit these 10 traits" allegedly written by a "Lachlan Brown" a day ago (August 15, 2023) show up in the recommendations on my phone app. When I got to item 7, the item headers started showing that they were interactions between a user giving ChatGPT prompts like "Do the next one. Be counterintuitive." or "Do the last one, with a personal touch." The result was that the anecdotes about characters like "Uncle Rob" were completely fabricated, and Ideapod does not indicate that the articles may be partially fictional. The inclusion of the chat prompts also means that the ChatGPT output for that portion of the article wasn't even edited for quality or accuracy (as accurate as a computer program can be about human habits and personality and emotions), if obvious mistakes like this made it into the published article.

A breath of fresh air and vital in todays world. Until I found Ideapod I thought I was outside the social normal way of thinking and found it really hard to relate to most people and only ever found a few that thought I was odd but accepted me. I am very lucky and have a couple of key people in my life who love me unconditionally no matter what and me them and am very grateful for having a settled wonderful secure life. But I am always seeking different points of view so I can decide what I believe and not be told or led by others. I love your articles and think you are a breath of fresh air and truly essential. You really help me knowing there is a lot of other people who I can relate to that I did not think were there. I also try to pass on what I read and experience to whoever I come across in my daily life if they ask or in tricky situations.

I've always been delighted and excited whenever a new article is out, because almost all of the time those articles help you with your daily life, they give you insights into your own life. I think so that their articles are always helpful in one way or another. There are many topics of articles like friendship, relationships etc. You get to know yourself better and you're also able to get to about others through the behaviours mentioned in the articles, it's like an eye opener.

Thank you Thank you for being there during the times when I didn't have anybody, when I was lost and when I didn't want to live. You helped me get back on my feet and learn more about myself! Appreciate your work!
