the engagement baiting on chatgpt has gotten really bad in the past few days. first noticed it over the weekend.

i'll ask it a question, and it will give me an answer and a long rationale for that answer and then afterwards say something like, there's actually one secret thing that i'm not telling you about this, do you want to know? do i want to know the secret? yes. do i now doubt everything it just told me? also yes. i'm sure it juices the engagement numbers but i find it highly annoying
