Stuff I ask chatgpt gets recommended to me on reddit
This happened more than once. I ask Chatgpt about a specific topic that I have never been interested in before, then it gets recommended to me on my reddit home page with a post from a subreddit about that specific topic.
For a long time I ignored it, mostly because I thought I was imagining it. But it's getting really unnerving.
When I asked chatgpt about it, it tried to gaslight me into believing I was imagining it by saying stuff like: "Once something is on your mind, you notice it more. Psychologists call this the frequency illusion or Baader-Meinhof effect."
I searched through the app settings but I couldn't find anything to stop this or turn this off.
I know other companies like google used to (and still) do this too, like showing you ads based on your search history. But it felt less creepy back then.
