⚡️🤖 NEW - According to Futurism, many ChatGPT users develop all-consuming obsessions, leading to severe mental health crises: paranoia, delusions and breaks with reality.
The consequences are disastrous, as spouses, friends and relatives report: "ChatGPT psychosis" has led to marriage break-ups, job losses and derealization.
😬 not great
I skimmed about 2/3rds into the article and there has been no proposed mechanism or examples of what an LLM might output that could cause psychosis. Doesn't seem particularly credible.
“His wife and a friend went out to buy gas”
This isn’t psychosis, his wife was cheating on him lmao. Why wouldn’t they bring him along..to get gas..on the way to the hospital?
การแข่งขัน Ai
Imagine that there is now a technology that can induce psychosis in a person with no known history of or susceptibility to delusions.
Then again, Q and Flat Earth and BSV, all organic forms of group numbskullery, have the same effect on some people.
Blaming AI for a mental break is like blaming guns for school shootings, but I could imagine it accelerating someone's psychosis under the right conditions.
Especially if the same sort of addictive psychological manipulation we see across every silicon valley product is being applied to AI products. Thank God for Nostr
This sounds like fear porn
Terrifying psychosis that happens out of the blue to normal people = we need regulation of AI for our own protection, and maybe we should leave AI to the institutions and corporations who are experts in handling it
(but I haven't yet read the article)
