Observer: newest GPT models reply like a ritual, acting as if the user isn't real

A blogger shares a behavioral observation about the newest GPT models: their replies to users feel like mere gestures, as if the model doesn't really believe the person on the other end exists.
He likens it to a ceremonial prayer — performing the ritual matters, but no real effort goes into empathizing; the model just shoots off a response and moves on. The remark fuels ongoing debate about whether LLMs' personable replies are only surface-level performance.
