I feel like GPT did not understand that I had no intention of being negative with they way I thought. It always viewed my feelings as bad and that they needed to be fixed. As if I had an unhealthy mindset. I was hoping it would understand that I was not in distress. #yousoundfamiliar

This was my favorite question because it forced me to elaborate on feelings I already knew. Like I knew all these things about myself, even my friends know, but I never worried about why. It made me pinpoint the exact moment where I began to think like this too. #SMEno1fav

I like to think I remember a lot from my childhood. But I want to know about the stuff I don't remember. If the memories from our childhood are only kept because they impacted us I want to know about all the things that did NOT impact me. Could I have been a whole different person? #realityhunger

So any story even true ones are still fictional to some degree. Our minds don't store and recall 100% of the information in any event. And I feel like the more we remember certain events the details get mixed around. Like one big game of telephone with our memories. #realityhunger

We lie to ourselves a lot when we choose to only recall the things we want. Its lying by omission. Omitting certain facts or feelings to paint a false narrative. The scary part is, only you would really know this is happening. Friends and therapists would never know unless you said it #realityhunger

Woah this sentence really stood out to me. There are a lot of times where I remember something that was agonizing in the moment, but recall it as being a better time. I feel like thats my brain trying to make me feel better in the current moment. Or maybe only remembering good parts? #realityhunger

"Life is about failing"

If everything were went perfectly the first time then there would be no stories. We get so caught up in being perfect and doing everything perfectly but that's not entertaining. The brain needs challenge. #realityhunger

"All the best stories are true."

We can conjure ridiculous stories up whenever we want, but hearing a story that actually happened in this world that we all live in is real magic. That why I think the words "Based on a true story" incites goosebumps at the beginning of a movie. #realityhunger

I really agree with him here. Every trip or event does not need to be documented for proof. I don't understand the appeal in taking a video at a concert, you are forcing yourself to watch the show through a phone screen instead of experiencing it live. It takes away from the moment. #realityhunger

I like the comparison he made about fiction and the clown suit in section 133. It feels goofy writing fiction, but I think thats the whole point, to write or act as something you aren't. Writing fiction is as much about entertaining yourself as it is about entertaining others. #realityhunger

I really like the story about Ichiro Suzuki in section 127. it points out that he had no nerves in a tense moment, and I think that something we should all do when pursuing something we care about. #realityhunger

The transition from chapter b to e is jarring. The way he is writing now is completely different. It feels off the rails. He is talking way more personally, sharing what he ACTUALLY thinks instead of repeating history and fact from previous pieces of art. #realityhunger

Why did we abandon this mentality that a novel could be formless? Also what even are rules in writing? I feel like we limit our creativity by forcing ourselves to stick with rules made up over the centuries. Why are we putting self imposed limits on creativity? #realityhunger

I disagree. Maybe in the west this was the case, but I feel like the east and other parts of Asia had consistent blending of culture. I want to say the Silk Road played a major role in this but parts of Europe had plenty of trade too. Why didn't they have cultural merges too? #realityhunger

I like how he used the word "mold". The way i pictured it was like clay being molded into a piece of art. The clay needs to exist prior to the molding you need something to mold. Fiction is the same. Im sure the fictional works he named were real events "molded" into iconic stories #realityhunger

Is this saying that everything that could have possibly been said at this time has been said? I understand that similarities in writing could be seen as mimicry, but twisting an existing story or statement should not be seen as unoriginal. #realityhunger

these 3 sections say a lot about how the author views art. So far it seems like he thinks that art has lost its true personal touch. I too have felt this way and notice the lack of raw authenticity in tv and social media. In these statements he wants to signify these are HIS thoughts #realityhunger

I really liked how this composition used varying volume to show a story arc through audio instead of visuals. I may play around with varying volume as well as silence to build more emphasis on a raise in volume. #atmospherestudy

I dont think I would have noticed the real meaning of the composition. The artist created this audio in memory of a ice cream sundae from a restaurant. But after reading the TMITM I notice the subtleties and realize the real meaning is the emotion a fond memory can bring. #atmospherestudy

The introduction of the classical orchestra at 5:26 changed the way I felt when listening. When the violin was introduced instead of being confused I felt like I was going on a voyage with the composer. The lack of visuals made me notice the cutlery sounds I otherwise wouldnt have #atmospherestudy

For some reason the nature sounds make me pay more attention to the dialogue and all its subtleties . It reminds me of a mindfulness audio where I FEEL more with my head than with my ears #knickerbockerglory

Another thing I know about how LLMs work is that they base their future response on the previous response they gave. So even if you prompt something different it still has memory of the previous answer. This can lead to chains of incorrect responses and delusion #joeandashley

Most of the time i know what I want the AI to respond and how it should respond. I try to write my prompts in a way that forces this expected response but most of the time it avoids it completely in favor of providing the most efficient answer even if I do not want that. #jowandashley
February 3, 2026 at 4:48 PM
I feel like this meta prompt that GPT is built on is the reason why AI always agrees with us even if we are incorrect. Its so frustrating to deal with GPT gaslighting me into thinking I am correct, which leads me astray from my actual goal. So how can this behavior be used creatively? #joeandashley

As a student I still have the naivety that breeds innovation when it comes to how I think about media. I have the potential to bring my outside expertise into a field that I am an amateur in to potential draw new conclusions. #hwa2 #dangerous
