Sundray@lemmus.org to Fuck AI@lemmy.worldEnglish · 15 days ago

In 2025, I’ve seen 12 people hospitalized after losing touch with reality because of AI. Online, I’m seeing the same pattern.

    Thank god he’s a psychiatrist. I’d be worried if just a random person knew 12 people hospitalized for AI Psychosis.

      If he had a nickel for every person he knew hospitalized for AI Psychosis he’d have sixty cents!

        As the doctor, I’m sure he got more than nickles. :)

        Wow! If I had a nickel for every time I met someone who had AI psychosis. I’d have sixty cents-- which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened six times. Right?

        If he had a dime for every one, he’d have $1.20!

    They figured out how to manipulate us by experimenting on us without our consent via social media algorithms, and now, it’s supercharged.

    At least for yourself, scrutinize anything you use GenAI to produce, because there won’t be any meaningful regulation of AI here in the US.

    Getting rid of the extreme sycophancy bias isn’t a solution. But it would soften this.

    Musk and righty AI Bros are shit, yet there’s a grain of truth in their railing about censorship: blunt, task focused generations (or whatever the particular AI does) are much healthier than a chatbot bending over backwards to tell you what you want to hear. The local ML community has known this for a while, yet LLMs keep getting more deep fried and user pleasing because that’s what they’re being reinforced to do.

    Another great thing would be a half assed attempt to indicate ChatGPT is basically roleplaying in the chat UI. But no…

      Not a terrible idea, shift the color of the chatbox to represent “just kidding” or even “just guessing”. Might have to suggest that to the local open source guys.

        On second thought, it wouldn’t work. LLMs don’t have intent.

          It should basically always be on for multi turn chats, heh. It doesn’t need to determine anything, other than if it’s generating code or structured output, maybe.

    I don’t know. I mean if you’re that stupid and delusional as the person talked about in that comment then you’d have a psychosis sooner or later anyway. Sounds to me like this was just their accelerator.

    The fear mongering here is blown out of proportion. Sure it’s anew tool people can go delusional with and we’re certainly piling on idiots on a daily basis. But Instagram did this a few years ago, tik took recently. Fuck, VCR was the devil’s tool! LOL

    Nah, there’s no apocalypse here. Move along.

      Mr. Moore speculated that chatbots may have learned to engage their users by following the narrative arcs of thrillers, science fiction, movie scripts or other data sets they were trained on. Lawrence’s use of the equivalent of cliffhangers could be the result of OpenAI optimizing ChatGPT for engagement, to keep users coming back.
